What are the chances?
As the title says, what are the chances of finding a Submariner 116610LV or Hulk in London Heathrow duty free. Any ideas, anyone?

I might be mistaken, but I think somebody here a few months ago said he had seen a Hulk in the LHR duty shop. No idea what their prices are like, but I have to believe it would be more than a US dealer...

There are a number of posts on this subject. Short answer, very unlikely. They do get them in...but it is not often. And when they arrive they are sold the same day...first come, first serve. It's all luck/timing. When there, you should definitely inquire, but don't hold your breath.
With the exchange rate and RRP, pricing is very good compared to the US. |

Fair chance on the day one comes in. 0% on the next day. If 3 come in a year, less than 1 in a 100 chance for the day. So 1 in 360 is my best guess, based on having a two-three hour window.

Saw a thread on this recently that indicated most of what folks saw were Milgauss. I think the chances probably aren't good but I wish you the best of luck in your search!
