Icon5 UK/ IE AD contact to buy OP36 - Turquoise Dial

Hi Guys,

I am looking to purchase an OP36 Turquoise Dial for the Mrs for our 10th wedding anniversary in Feb 22.

Does anyone have an AD contact in UK or Ireland who might be able to help me with buying one at retail. Hoping not to pay Gray Market prices.

Thanks in advance

Russ

Just trying my luck, my AD hopes to have one for me later in the year. But I would love to get it earlier.

The price is nearly double in the secondary market and how would an AD or other people will offer you this with "nothing". It is newly zero chance and u may meet a nice SA offers u this because of the 10th anniversary though. Good luck.

Unless you have a substantial purchase history with an AD in or around your area, turquoise OP 36 at retail isn’t really happening. This forum or forum members have no secrets that most of the people don’t already know.

However.. I still do believe in Christmas miracles and the sales associate at an AD may be kind enough to let you have one. Good luck!

I hope you manage to get one Russ,,,,
My local London SA told me at the end of summer that they had 20 + requests for a turquoise OP 41mm,,,,
I imagine that’s gone to over 30 now and if you have no prior spends then no request can be taken at WOS,,,,

Wow…strange they didn’t sort you out…I’d imagine these would be harder to get after the Nautilus sale. I was hopeful as the 36 is not as popular as the 41. However my AD was frank enough to tell me that the supply for the blue is low when compared to others

they simply didn't receive any since i asked....
they served me a daytona SS and a pepsi since, they get way more sport models than OP coloured...

early next year i should get one, first one that comes in should be mine... BIG AD...

I don't know of anyone with connections, and I also doubt people would help you if they had access themselves... thus is the current situation with value vs price.
