Rolex Nassau - John Bull boutiques

Wondering if anyone has had any recent experiences with any of these boutiques? Heading down later this year for vacation. I’m sure they have their own on island clients as well as VIP’s who frequent the island. Anyone had any luck there?

Even with 2 previous purchases (albeit the most recent was 4 years ago) - the most recent visit in July 2023 had no sports model available. I was offered several ladies PM watches and a YM37.

Go enjoy some cigars (the prices are a bit higher then EU), but at least you don't have to go to Europe to enjoy them.

Rolex Nassau - John Bull boutiques

John Bull doesn’t sell to tourists on regular basis

Very interesting I spend way too much time on these forums and classifieds and I’ve never seen any John Bull stamped warranty cards. Can’t say it’s well know I’m my opinion. Also I purchased a SD43 from John Bull in Feb maybe just luck 🤷

Found this thread during a search.

Heading to Nassau in early 2024 celebrating a birthday and was hoping to get a DJ to commemorate the occasion.

Is little Switzerland any better?

Can't make the shots you don't take. Best of luck, but chances like everywhere else abroad is low on a sports model.

Give it a go. You never know depends on how chill the sales rep is. I think it’s decent odds.

Agree 100% while on a trip in the Caribbean earlier this year I was able to get my wife a Wimbledon DJ to celebrate her 40th birthday. Struck up a conversation with the Saleswoman and she was from our hometown etc and she took care of us.

Hopefully I’ll get lucky

I vacationed there in 2019 and asked for a Daytona. 6 months later got the call and flew back to get it.
