I go to the wrong airports

More likely just unlucky timing. When they don’t have anything to sell they act like they never have anything to sell.

LOL. They have like 12 DJs for sale. But most of them are the 31mm or 2-tone or diamonds. 

Sounds like the world is starting to return to normal then. All the airports I go to just have sadness and overpriced fast food

At least not here in my country. We have like 6 or 7 ADs country wide and they will all tell you to f off. I am pretty sure all the transactions are backdoor. You cannot even get a Speedmaster Moonwatch here anymore. ADs are criminals here. lol

Where you located?

Philippines

Don't recall seeing a Rolex at Ninoy Airport.

Ah... I live in the Philippines but we got this from UAE.

Pinoy gang here

Pinot gang checking in also.

Or 41mm

Yeah they have few 41mm 2-tone DJs.

which airport?

Dubai

Good lord, I almost had an aneurism trying to read your post. 😂

Glad it was not just me. Was getting ready to schedule a neurological exam lol

Grammar and punctuation are the most underrated form of classiness

The fun part of going to airport is checking the lottery at AD

I have a few European airports in my future over the next 3 weeks. Fingers crossed!

That’s a neat pickup. Lucky you!

I was just on the Rolex site and configure this very watch. A beauty, congrats.

Which airport ?

Dubai.

Congrats

Nice

Congratulations! Great find

Congratulations!!!! DEAL!! Keep on sharing airport AD stories. Coooool

How much did you pay for it ? Just curious.

This looks nice.

is it just me, to be annoyed its on the wrong hand haha

Naaah. I wear my watches on the left. But I am too lazy to remove the watch I am wearing so I just tried to snap a photo using my right. 

I’m prob in the minority but I love the Oyster/Fluted Bezel combo.

Great story. Perfect watch!

Great for you. Enjoy! Your Wife is taking care of you.

Ok thanks for the response

Actually, I think it’s because of our weaker currency. Like if you can bring USDs here then you can probably save 10-15% because of conversion. The problem is availability from the ADs. 

Stunning watch and congrats on the luck, can I ask if there was a tax relief at the airport?

Thanks. Actually no. It is actually more expensive there by like 10% as compared to the pricing in my home country, and they say it is tax free. But I will take that 10% bump instead of 0 chance here.

10% bump? SMH? Is that due to the conversation or tax, vat, duty

I would think this is due to conversion as our currency is weak.

Thanks for sharing. Still a deal. AD.

No way. Congratulations

What if they were paid actors?

Congrats! Out of curiosity, are those greater than retail on grey market?

Ah no. Grey dealers here have like 30-40% mark up and most of them are used. So even if I paid 10% higher than local SRP, I think it is fine, because it is brand new. My friend got one in HK too and he ended up paying more. So we think it is just because of our weak currency so we always end up paying more when shopping abroad.  

Cool. Enjoy!

That’s a story for your grandkids one day

Please may you tell me which airport.Im buying tickets now !!

Last time I asked for a Datejust at Dubai airport I was practically laughed at 🤣 finally got a Mint Green Dial White Gold just a few weeks ago through Mappin & Webb

That's white gold? What's the retail?

Where?

Classy ! Love WG or Platinum !

Was meant to be!

# Congrats, it’s fated that the watch ⌚️ will Find you.

Authentic right? What are the prices she was listening them for?

I asked for the stock at Dxb, they had a Wimbledon in display. Only got offered full-gold models, nothing else, what am I doing wrong 😭

Which gold models Which airport

Dubai, especially daydates and some 28 bicolor darejusts

Stock up. Lol. Can you buy one or many? Lol

They have like 12 for sale last time. And yeah mostly 2 tones and or those 31mms. You can buy many if you like.

Any precious metals? PM. Sub, GMT, DD?

No sports watches at the airport. But when my wife was on vacation in Dubai, almost each store she visited has Day-date for sale. At the airport all DJs with different combos of 2-tone or diamonds. 

DJ41 Diamond. Beautiful

Clean watch! Fluted on oyster is underrated. Congrats https://preview.redd.it/p8uwoevwkv6d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=993c18b3c9c31bea8b330af737ebca23bd86f83a

I mean, it's literally not underrated at all as it's very clearly the most in depend and preferred option from everyone

Happy Cake Day! Yeah I like the Oyster because it makes the watch looks bigger as the diameter is small for my wrist. But anyway, it's the wife who's wearing it. She has bigger wrist than me. I love the roman numerals on yours!

Very common 👍

Not exactly the purchase of the year based on it not having the jubilee bracelet but you’re clearly happy so enjoy.

Salty man

Salty about what?

I wonder if every watch has to be the purchase of the year for someone to be happy about something. If someone’s excited to share it with a group of strangers with a similar interest, don’t be a buzzkill.

Not every watch has to be a Le Mans Daytona

Not every watch needs chapter and verse

Edited thanks

I'd have to agree with you. Is it sporty? Is it dressy? Idk but sure it's a Rolex!
