    Still can’t shift them Airkings. Unbelievable that so many models are in such high demand yet they’re still knocking out these abominations.

    For me they can discontinue it and let the grey market panic ;)

    Dealers will try too convince everyone that this will be a must have when Rolex discontinue it and suddenly demand will soar for one of the design disasters of the Rolex catalogue.

    The unified Rolex in the window thread

    Explorer, Explorer 2, 2 steel oyster perpetuals(one inside), white dialled Milgauss and a two tone sub in Rennes.

    Might pop in for a chat in my bad French!

    I thought the white dial Milgauss was discontinued a while ago??

    Obviously not a popular buy in Rennes if it has been in the window for that long!

    I'd thought so too. However, I quite like the look of it. Really hankering after a white dialed watch atm.

    Here's the question - as it's discontinued shouldn't they be selling it at the RRP which won't have changed as it's not a current model? For the anal here does that constitute paying above list?

    That’s if you can actually get a sports one.

    I have had little joy over the past few months.

    Wow! Can't believe there's a new unsold one at an AD! Weren't they discontinued 8/9 years ago?

    Got mine (pre-owned!) last week and loving it! Hope you can grab one.

    EDIT: Earlier post from Alan says Rennes!

    Just popped in to Bedford to drop some paperwork off and on impulse walked round to John Bull & Co to have a quick squiz in their window. Quite a few DJ 41's, a couple of steel / platinum YM's one mid size and one full and a bunch of OP's including a lovely grape dial. Didn't think to get pictures as I was parked controversially but might be worth someone's time.
    The jewelers a few doors down had an explorer but it was pre-owned but under 5k if memory serves.

    Be aware that VAT is due on Swiss purchases and the pound has taken a pounding against Swiss Franc of late
    I know of 1 shop that has an office in Germany so they can be sent from there as a way around it.

    Hi Hood. I was speaking to someone selling a 43mm SD on Chrono24. They live in the uk but purchased it in Switzerland. I asked about vat a few days ago and they replied as follows “there is no issue with vat and no import duty for buying in Switzerland.”

    I did a bit of digging but didn’t really get any clarity on it all. My main concern was resale and servicing etc if it leaves the country.

    Hood is correct, Switzerland is outside the EU and any purchase will attract 20% VAT plus couriers fees on arrival in Blighty. I know, I was stung earlier this year buying a Steinhart LE from a Swiss AD.

    Any import duty / vat lies with the importer so you're fine if the watch is already in the UK.

    Was through Schippol on Wed past and noticed that they'd changed up the display cases. Instead of having 4 cases with pillow displays for maybe 20-25 watches each, they've put in 4 x displays that hold about 9 each. Still not a great look when a dedicated shop barely has any stock.

    Rolex dealer in Ulan Bataar has in an SD43 at a rather eye watering £13,500, plus the buyer is required to buy a “classic” Rolex too. When I said that seems quite a lot over list price (Dj’s were slightly cheaper than UK list) he just shrugged.
    Things are a little different here....

    Isn’t Chrono24 and eBay prices lower than £13.5k? Or am I missing something...

    I didn’t want to start a dedicated thread because it would cause all the usual consternation, so thought this would be the best thread for a quick bit of advice...

    Does anyone have a view as to the average waiting time for a green Sub?

    I don’t have a purchase history with an AD, but I do own an older Sub and would not come across as a profiteer due to the sentimental reasons for purchase...

    Fool’s errand or? I realise that this isn’t a question which can be answered accurately, and that it depends on what happens with the market and availability.

    One thing I’ve read is to visit a non-London AD and be specific as to what you want, have the cash ready, etc - which all makes sense.

    Don’t waste your time. You could call every AD in the U.K. and you would get two replies. 1,NO 2, about 3 years but you would never get the call. With no punches history this is a grey market watch.

    Thanks both... might see if the situation changes over the next year or two...

    Re: grey dealers, I like the current green Sub a lot, but think it’s worth about list, maybe a grand or so more... at the £12k mark it doesn’t make sense... I’d be looking at vintage Subs/the 16610LV.

    Regardless, that price bracket is just too much money for me at the moment... I take it the black Sub Date would be an easier quarry?

    You’d think so. But my AD said it’s laughable the wait list they have for a Sub Date.

    It’s probably behind Daytona, Pepsi, Hulk, BLNR and Blue Skydweller but still v.rare now.
