According to them the rolex counter within Harrods do not reserve SS daytonas for anyone. They apparently put them straight into the window and are sold on a first come first sold basis. Bet that first customer works in the adjacent watch dept though ....

Oooooh waaaassshh! 6 quid for a pint!

I hope it was not from your Rolex fund!

A WIS haven. Those prices................................ But what a room.

We put it straight on the window story is a lot of bull...
The dealer who has the Rolex concession inside Harrods pays 15% to 25%
for every sale he makes from the top, commission to the establishment for
the right to operate inside this MEGA money making building.
Can you imagine a watch which untill recently was providing
a handsome premium income to all AD's worlwide to be shared at normal retail with Harrods..????

Police-Give me a brake..."we put it straight on the window"..??..

And by the way, we went to Harrod's in 2006 and the only thing I could afford was to breathe the air. Sheesh! What a store!

Beautiful and extravagant! Loved every minute of it!

Make a sentence from these words.

"in Harrods I would buy more money than sense my Rolex because I have."

Super place for sure.... I was there in 2001, and man was I blown away with all the goodies and the layout.

I recently saw an old documentary on TV about Harrods... It has an amazing history in terms of the building and its facilities. There are hidden staircases and tunnels.... secure rooms and vaults etc. One guy they interviewed was like way into his seventies, I think, and had been working there since his late teens. They also still do deliveries by horse and carriage!!! Such nostalgia!!! :-)

So does Selfridge's, a saleswoman also gave me this comment when I asked about GV. It could be true however if I was of one the employee I would snap every single Daytonas and GVs for flipping :-D

Six quid for a beer....that is nearly as expensive as Covent Garden!!!!!!

That bottle would have gone straight in a shopping bag!

I know one member here collects old beer bottles from a recent thread.

Their watch department is great but I always got the impression that the girls on the Rolex stand didn't really ever have a clue what they were talking about!!!!!!!!!

This is a boring car collection there. I should have taken some pictures of Bugatti, Enzo, Pagani, Phantom Drophead, DBS and many many special made sports cars.

People here who whos a S Class or BMW 7 Serie they all have private drivers. :-S

And ofc they all have 2 Vertu phones... at least.

I should go and beg a Daydate

Harrods, then a walk in Hyde Park, doesn't get to much better for this
country boy.

That White F430 has UAE license plates on it.
The mega rich Arabs would bring their cars from UAE while hoildaying in London during their summer.

Remember reading a couple of months back that one of these guys flew his car back to Britain to get it serviced.

[greenfan]

All of these cars around Harrods had Arabic license plates...
I also saw a couple Ferarri's with Russian plates....
