Hi Guys,

Was in Pisa and Florence last weekend on holiday and visited ADs there, two of them had SS Submariners in the window...

T01 · 25 September 2018, 10:45 AM

Not bad at all!

Cesarmsi · 25 September 2018, 10:52 AM

Nice! That’s the most professional models I have seen at any AD I have visited lately.

JustWatches2018 · 25 September 2018, 11:00 AM

Yup! Had a buddy who bought a sub date last week at the Ponte Vecchio AD. With the VAT refund ends up being~$7900 USD too.

imgook · 25 September 2018, 11:02 AM

Interesting. I too saw a few Subs when I was there in April.

DoctorA · 25 September 2018, 11:04 AM

That’s great! Looks like it might start trickling before the holidays!

lenfried29 · 25 September 2018, 11:49 AM

I saw black Daytona C in center plaza Turin, Italy second week of June. Almost bought it.

Yes, it was right on the window display. I didn't buy it because price was $16500 USD. I didn't know if that was included VAT. If I knew I would purchase it.

That wasn’t an AD.

peterpl · 25 September 2018, 11:56 AM

Very good sign. Seeing alot more ADs with SS stock these days. Havent seen an AD display case like that in quite some time.

I'm hoping supply issues are being addressed and we will see flow on effects of availability dramatically increase in the next 6 months.

Rocket launcher · 25 September 2018, 03:22 PM

If this is the future it will hit the grey market
Let's hope it is .....
Date subs in AD windows..
I would go clothes shopping with the wife
Just to see them..

Please Rolex God's make this happen in the UK

uansari1 · 25 September 2018, 05:48 PM

I'll be in Munich next week...interested to see if I come across anything there.

I've been in Dubai for 2.5 months and found nothing but two Milgauss blue dial (still available) and a couple of YMs. DJ's and TT's galore obviously. Finally came across a GMTIIc on the fourth visit to an AD at Jumeirah, which I purchased on the spot.

dirk85 · 25 September 2018, 08:25 PM

Saw both white and black ceramic Daytona, Pepsi, Hulk, blue SkySweller, SeaDweller and Submariner in an AD close to Milan. All SS.

Can’t post the picture because I dont have enough history here.

This can't have been an AD surely a grey dealer?

dirk85 · 25 September 2018, 08:35 PM

Official AD. Daytonas and Pepsi already sold, didn’t ask about the others. I have BLNR coming soon with same AD.

Will post the pic as soon as I have 10 posts.

You sure they were buyable on their own?

Mick006 · 25 September 2018, 08:38 PM

Saw Tudor GMT at an AD in France last week. Not sure how rare, but first one I’ve seen.

dirk85 · 25 September 2018, 09:31 PM

They were sold already, but available to try on.

I am not sure how I would feel if my watch was tried by someone else while waiting for me to pick it up, but still...

Grey dealers don't really care...

That is something to behold. As someone who has only really been in the Rolex world since things started drying up, this is unbelievable.

CharlieB93 · 25 September 2018, 11:16 PM

WOW! I spoke to my AD for the Hulk, my wait has gone from 1 year to 18 months they think :-(

huynhdongkhanh · 26 September 2018, 01:37 AM
