As this is the appropriate thread I have a question -
When was the last time you seen the best part of the full range of Stainless Sport Rolex in a UK shop window, as in Submariner, GMT, Seadweller, Explorer II, Daytona? Obviously I cant remember so can any of you?

May 2016 in Nottingham city centre.
A day out for TZ-UK member busmatt (pictured) and I, all the watches on the top shelf are Rolex, mostly sports. The corner shop has another window and this featured many other used Rolex along with Tag, Omega PP, etc.
Competitive prices too, IIRC.
Shortage of SS models? Hogswallop!

If you don’t mind a slight premium over RRP...!

Not in the window as yet but my AD, gave me the call for a Deep Sea Sea Dweller today. I passed however if anyone is interested I'm more than happy to pass on their details-just pm me.
White and Black Explorer II in Heathrow T3 yesterday.
Only SS models of note in Barbados AD (Bridgetown) today were Yachtmaster II and Airking. They said the usual that Subs and GMT SS models are hens teeth but they did give me a thick Rolex catalogue dated 2015-2016 that has my BLNR in. Which was nice.
Wandered past a place called ‘Carr’s’ next door to Liverpool Street station last night. 3 watches in the window. 2x Non ceramic Daytona’s one black dial and one white and a PP Nautilus. No prices though.
White dial Oyster Perpetual 39 in Fraser Hart, York. It's a lovely thing.
They've also got a Black Bay 58 on a strap if anyone's looking for one.
Prefer the black. Nice watch in white are certainly better than the dial colours it replaced but think the watch is too hyped for what it is. A beast and yet I would love it and hey, I have a sub so can't be just so I don't have a sub. Good proportions for someone like me with thighs for wrists who finds the deep sea obnoxiously big with a tiny dial. Saying that the D-Blue would be my ultimate weekend/Friday watch.
Had a quick look in Lunn's in victoria square, belfast. Mostly datejust's and a couple of pm.
There was also a nice tt rootbeer in the pre owned section of the queen's arcade Lunn's too. Price was £8.5k
On Sunday walked into an AD to try and get my name down for a SS GMT on my 50th birthday (2 years away). Walked away with what must be one of the last new 116710LN’s. Just a random walk in with zero buying history.
Well happy.

went into a dealer in Italy the other day, an Asian chap was trying to buy a watch they had on display - they refused to sell it to him!
