    Should be fine, I’ve done it from T5, not even a deposit taken. Good luck!

    I'm sure people know, but if they don't... Which ever terminal you're in at Heathrow, you can ask them to check stock in the other terminals and if there's sufficient time the watch can be transferred to the terminal you're in.

    Interesting!

    Found this from almost exactly a year ago :

    http://forum.tz-uk.com/showthread.ph...llectors-piece

    And other references from other sites going back to 2016. The one you saw must have been found at the back of a cupboard somewhere!

    I think they move them around as Gassan has multiple outlets. Will check for it next time I am there.

    That really is "NOS"!!

    Someone has resurrected the thread I mentioned on here yesterday and now there's a discussion as to whether this will be a collectible due to its short production run!

    GS @ Merry Hill called yesterday offering me a new Sub Date.
    Had to decline but worth a call if you're in the market?

    I am not a fan of the Hulk or the Bluesey, they are bit too much. However you tend to see the BLRO in most AD windows and blue subs not as often.

    In my eyes this is the ultimate Subby, definitely worth the money. It screams "GET OUT OF MY WAY PEASANTS". Plus it's unlikely that someone would wear a fake one so if you see someone wear one do get down on your knees and bow your head with maximum respect.

    Judging by the thread quoted by Ally price tag on the right shows the price this watch had cost in 2011 hahaha.

    Sounds like you're channeling Archieluxury with that statement.

    Yep, the departure lounge time machine. Enabling you to go back 2-3 price rises and buy what you should have all those years ago.

    Mappin & Webb, Fenchurch St, London today had Explorer, Explorer II (both dials), Air King and a blue Milgauss.
    They also had a WG Daytona I'd never seen before. It had the grey dial with black subdials but the non ceramic bezel and WG bracelet. It looked lovely but at £27,450 well out my league.

    The explorer 2 has been in there a while now

    A reverse take on the title of the thread!

    Has any member recently seen the blue dial/baton Datejust 41 (126334) with a fluted bezel on a jubilee bracelet for sale?
    I spoke with two AD's yesterday and both of them told me that they were the most difficult DJ combination to get and that they couldn't get one for approximately 6 months?

    Though the blue dial/baton (126300) smooth bezel on either a Jubilee or Oyster bracelet is a lot easier to get.

    I asked my local AD for a D-Blue but all he got in his delivery was a regular Deepsea .
    I am wondering whether to buy this and wear it until the D-Blue arrives . I know these are not selling at a premium but I guess the loss in 2 months would be relatively small .

    No it would be pretty sizeable, wait it out for the deep blue, for what ever reason standard dssd does not to seem to hold its weight, slap a blue dial and green text it then is more desirable, I own a standard 2009 dssd, great watch and wouldn’t sell but there are plenty second hand ones available at very good prices.

    Not that sought after

    I’d wait personally due to the hit you will take. However if you’re prepared to take a hit why not just buy the blue elsewhere at a slightly higher rate than rrp? Do a WTB here. You might get one for around 10k which will work out cheaper than the loss you’ll take I would think.

    That would be my advice too. Buy pre owned grey now on the Blue, then when your UK ad piece comes up sell the grey or sell the new piece. Much less of a soaking than buying the deep-sea or could possibly turn a profit

    The unified Rolex in the window thread

    Decision was made for me as it had already sold by the time I got to the shop .
    I’m not UK based, Grey market options are harder for me unless I travel .
    I was offered a black GMT or a bimetallic Sub .
    They had 3 colors of the DJ 41 in stock with fluted bezels and milgausse and Exp 2 but very little stock coming through .
    They haven’t seen a steel Daytona or Skydweller yet .

    A GMT master in Christopher George in Cardiff for under £5k
    Looked pretty decent.
    Hardly any sports Rolex in Cardiff anywhere except a few yacht master orphans. Oh yes, did see an all gold GMT in WoS for £24k

    Pretty much the same as any uk stock then. Put a wtb out for what your after, I got an amazing deal for a dssd a few years back, it’s well worth a try.

    Looks like £8250 is exactly £9900 less the VAT.
