Incoming - London

I first visited this AD 10 months ago to register for an OP; a SA said he would help me buy my first Rolex.

I decided to see him today to try the Explorer 36 and also asked him what could I buy. He said he would ask someone if he could sell me a 124273 which is an allocation for next week. I don’t really care if I was lucky or not, I am just happy that that I now own this lovely watch.

Whilst there, a lot of walk-in customers were asking for a Rolex. One customer even suggested bundling but it was not his lucky day.

I love these and was watching a few unworn 2022 examples on ebay UK recently. One went for only £8100 at the end of May, the most recent made £8900 (MSRP 8950) Possibly one of the few Rolex currently not selling for a premium on the scalpers market. Always nice to get it direct from the AD though for total piece of mind and the whole experience.

Congrats OP…such a cool reference.

I feel these will get discontinued probably sooner rather than later and if that happens it’ll make them a very special reference in the history book of the Explorer.

Sounds like he would have bought any watch as long as he gets a Rolex. It was interesting to observe walk-in customers demanding to buy a Rolex.
