Where to buy Rolex in Dubai?

Hello everybody!

I live in Paris and I am going to Dubai in a few weeks. I would like to buy a Rolex there but in the Rolex website I cannot see the list of Rolex boutiques and retailers in Dubai, only those in France.

Could somebody provide me with a list of retailers? I'd never been in Dubai so I would like to have several options.

Thank you!

Ahmed Siddiqui and sons is the main rolex authorised down there, they have a number of showrooms in places such as in the Mall of Emirates, Wafi Centre, Dubai Mall and the Burj al Arab.

They do, but Siddiqi is cheaper.

Make sure you ask for discount at Siddiqi

The rep advised me that a SS Daytona has a 12 month waiting list. If you are prepared to buy full price in advance you can have it within 3 months.

Does this sound right to you? I thought the SS Daytona had a 5+ year waiting list...
