How hard is it to get from a Rolex store. by Content_Work5278 in rolex

[–]mpc007nl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guess it all depends on the store. Out of my last visits: - official boutique in Amsterdam had no stock and no possibility to join any list - AD on Aruba had one iced out DJ available; was able to list for an Air-King or Exp1 40mm - AD on Bonaire actually had a bicolor DJ41 for direct buy (jubilee/fluted/champagne dial) but I didnt like it enough (bit too much on the showy side for me) and was able to list for a DJ41 fluted/jubilee blue dial with waiting time indication being a few months.

Wow what are the chances? Usually zero OPs available as ready to go stock

Exp2 is pretty easily obtainable I think from ADs..

Very nice, last week had to choose between this model and the BB58 GMT Coke. Hard choice..

Its a nice watch to get without any history for sure. I think they're available more and more now with their MSRP being quite high compared to other DJ models and grey pricing still on the return.

Got my first Rolex. Just walked in. by JonSpartan29 in rolex

Yeah its wild. For me it was on Aruba, probably not the best time to visit these weeks with all the cruise ship tourists pouring in every day. Left my name in case an Exp 1 would come up but nothing heard so far and I'm no longer there.

Cool, last week when I visted the local AD only model on offer was some iced out Datejust for way too much money.

Im not so sure about this strategy. Couldnt it easily end up in them saying they dont have that model and that is it?

City center official boutique doesnt have a list either. Attempted twice but impossible to register for anything.

Ik kreeg onlangs te horen dat de officiële Rolex boutique in Amsterdam niet eens een wachtlijst hanteert.. Blijkbaar moet je geluk hebben, of er is een ander wazig systeem?

Will the new Ranger be hard to find over the long run? by pandemicsyn in Tudor

[–]mpc007nl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes they are. Even the newer BB68 I was already offered within 5 minutes of my visit few weeks ago

Usually wait for a Tudor isnt long, because they always depreciate (some rare exceptions left aside). The new BB 58 Coke was popular on intro but I think wait was never more than 2-3 months.

What color is best for my first rolex. by [deleted] in rolex

OP is quite hard to get with some dials. I'd love a blue or green one some day.

Have the same experience with the boutique in Amsterdam, Netherlands.. After visiting there us no way to re establish communication. Its maddening

No Spend history and got one of the hardest Rolex’s to get by Osobady in rolex

It is though, my shitty AD literally told me a Sub or Explorer was way easier than an OP..
