Been touring Europe, Barcelona, Gibraltar, Marseille, Rome, several Greek Islands and now Athens, not a SS sports model in sight.

Found a used SS Daytona, prior to the ceramic bezel, complete with papers and boxes priced at €18,000. Passed on it lol.

Guess I shall have to wait until I get to the top of my AD’s list for my SS Daytona.

There was a TT Daytona in Gibraltar with a black dial and they offered to swap the dial out for a white one while I waited! I left the store, with a polite “no thank you”

Not surprised. It would be surprising if you found something in europe

greengold · 23 June 2019, 11:54 PM

SS in europe is drier than dry martini in a dry breeze

brandrea · 24 June 2019, 12:05 AM

Same when I was there a week or so ago ... nothing much in the ADs I was at in Italy.

I myself prefer fireball if I am going for a candy inspired drink

red hots versus lemonheads.

Yes yes I know it is supposed to be cinnamon or lemon.

There are none anywhere in the world it seems. Smells and walks like an under-supply problem to me.

There are hundreds if not thousands sitting at greys.

Jinson · 24 June 2019, 12:43 AM

Same for Portugal and Spain. I was offered a 20% discount on a Cellini but politely declined.

Dr. Robert · 24 June 2019, 12:53 AM

One doesn’t really need to travel.....lots of SS Rolex in the Republic Of TRF for sale section!

As far as I know, the UK is also in Europe. Brexit is not yet resolved and even if you leave the European Union, you will still be geographically in Europe.

We won’t leave. Give it another 18 months and this will be resolved. But that won’t help with the supply of sports Rolexes. That’s a more intractable problem.....

I hope they don't leave. And if they do so with agreements that are good for everyone.
I fear the arrival of Boris Johnson. He will ruin everything.

That person Boris Johnson .... honestly how could anyone vote for him? He’s holding top place in terms of charade. How could that be possible? To all people there in UK, how could you? How could you build a wall there, when world became so small? What for?
Sorry for kidnapping the thread a bit!

Once a week on CSPAN I can watch MP's throwing embarrassing questions to the PM. Jolly good fun.

Agreed, it is obvious to everyone that if the UK politicians do not get a grip of this current situation it will turn very ugly, there will be riots on the streets! Thousands will march to parliament square chanting "I don't know what Rolex I want, but I want it now"!

WatchNutcase · 24 June 2019, 03:04 AM

No SS anywhere! I'm starting to hunt as well.

NLYogi · 24 June 2019, 03:08 AM

There is at least one in Europe but it’s on my wrist

Justingtr · 24 June 2019, 04:04 AM

My AD told me they didn't have any Sea Dwellers for months. After my wife tried on a few Datejusts one of the salespeople says oh wait we got one in this morning and pulled it out the back. Maybe try on a few Datejusts and see what happens?

They has a Polar, Explorer and Air King in the Nicosia AD. And a Blusey. Mind you, that was two months ago. A lifetime in this mad market.

amh · 24 June 2019, 05:44 AM

Same here. Stockholm, Helsinki, Munich, Salzburg, Milan.

TswaneNguni · 24 June 2019, 05:48 AM

Did you happen to see a the RG YM40 in Mykonos or Santorini?

They’re a little easier to get, but I’ll be there later this year and am thinking of grabbing it with a VAT discount.

I failed to pull the trigger in Ibiza last year, but suppose I lucked out now that they added the glidelock.
