Went to look at a rolex today...

So, having looked extensively on the net, I thought it time to go and see what they look like in the flesh...

They had a good range in stock, but I couldn't see an Explorer I, my most likely choice. No problem, had one left, but not on display. Tried it on and was very impressed! I asked the price - £3220 and no discount available. Is this the standard UK price, and am I likely to find a cheaper option in the UK?

Are these watches generally available and does anyone know of a dealer offering a better deal?

Would like to have seen and tried a Green Milgauss, but they didn't have one...

The Milgauss line wears a bit bigger and significantly heftier IMHO.

3220 sterling is standard, but you can easily find a BNIB for 2k. PM for more details...

Expy is too small. GV ftw.
