They had a big delivery on Thursday. Hulk, SD, BLNR and Date Subs
Not Rolex but my mate once put a deposit down for a limited edition Omega in Schipol online. I picked it up and paid the balance

I always just miss it! And I was due to be back today but ended up not going.

Can the Rolex boutique be accessed on arrivals ? (Normally Duty free can only be accessed on departures)
Unless my mind is playing tricks I’m pretty sure I’ve read on one of the forums that from next month they’ll be no discount on Rolex at schipol i.e. the equivalent to vat discount, so it will all be European rrp I guess.
Bumping an old thread as i’m flying to Birmingham via Schipol this weekend and then back there again on Sunday.
I haven’t gone through all the posts today but i’m sure I read that you ask the AD’s to check the stock of the other shop in the airport and they can transfer watches? I think i’d Flying via departure 2.
Can I walk between the shops too?
Can see from the post above that I can see the store on departure and arrivals so i’ll be giving that a try. Also will be at the airport for about 1.5 hours before my flight, let’s hope they get a shipment in while I’m there!

Thank you for the information :)
Anyone else spotted the post on Facebook by someone claiming to have picked up a SS black Daytona in Gassan yesterday? That’s one nice Christmas present!
You probably need to do a Tom Hanks and camp out in the Terminal for a month or two :)
Unbelievable that a Daytona was had there! I was there a few months ago and not a single interesting piece!
I’ve managed to get two Daytona’s there. Guess I am just doubly lucky.
Actually it’s 3. I managed to get a white and black 116520 in the same sitting.
I got a 116500LN subsequently.
This was my two Daytona day ^^^^^^
From memory it was €1.38 to £1 if you want to kill yourselves with the prices.
Should have bought the whole case
+1
When I was there in September I had a good chat with the sales manager in store as had a lot of time on my hands.
He talked about how rare it is for him to get these highly demanded pieces in. I think perhaps in the past it was different (clearly from pic above, it was!). Nowadays it seems to be more of a myth.
He told me the steel sports models he probably gets 1-2 a month. And yes, they are gone within minutes if not seconds. Whilst I was there, at least 3-4 ppl came in to ask, 'do you have any steel sports models'. He also showed me his screen where he was all day replying to emails to ppl asking the same thing! They really must get sick of it.
The lady there said she gets asked atleast 50 times a day if there are any Daytona’s available. She listed all the one’s that people ask for and it’s the SS watches that everyone wants. The Daytona, Pepsi, Hulk etc
I remember five years ago the assistant tried to convince me to buy the LVc she had
I reckon we are now in the situation where people will snap up whichever watch of the ‘desirables’ - happens to be there, and either accept that it might not be ideal, but it’s a SS Rolex Sports - or:
Bought to sell, and either pocket the profit - or use that to buy the one they actually want.
Gents - planning a visit there soon for the girlfriend's birthday purchase, but struggling to know which London flights would land/ depart from the right terminal.
Anyone point me in the right direction to find out?

You should be ok with KLM and/or BA. Easyjet & Co. do not come through the main departure halls.
Thanks

I’m flying through there next week, so I expect there to be a delivery the day after!
make sure you're coming through today, so the delivery will be tomorrow----- right in time for my next trip though schiphol :)
Yes that's correct. On arrival, before you head downstairs to Passport control and baggage reclaim, turn right and you'll find all of the shops and restaurants. I do this every time I'm there. Have a wander around the shops and allow the queues at passport and baggage to disappear.
My wife and son have been flying through here a few times recently as it’s cheaper to drive to this airport and fly to the U.K. than the airport in Brussels.
Nothing of any interest over the last 5 trips she has done through the airport
Been there twice in last 2 weeks
Nothing very interesting to see or I’d have done a psa (Schiphol, that is...)
Been there today..... A few 36 mm DJs in steel gold, a white dialled 39 mm OP and that’s about it
Oops.... that model is not on my radar. There were actually two, one in the boutique and one in the normal Gassan shop
Im going to visit Rolex stores at Schipol on Saturday around noon on my way to NYC, so curious to see, whether there are any sports Rolexes there.
Should I get lucky, I cant bring the watch with me to US. Can one have them ship it to one's home address within EU or do I need to send a courier to pick it up for me? I wont be returning via Schipol, so cant pick it up on my way back either..
