There is another way of doing it which is you getting the money right away, but you would still have to stamp a form from customs at the airport upon leaving the EU. I have personally not tried the latter but I am almost certain it can be done and a lot of people on the forums did it without issues.
Italy - in my opinion - is one of the best countries to buy a rolex in. Their tax refund is great and they offer very aggressive discounts in general.
That fluted bezel on the 126334 is jaw-dropping in person. Good luck in your hunt!

I'm italian, can talk you about situation here.
Your reasoning about tax free is correct but... there are no watches! I refer to official shops, on shop window you will find only Datejust, some Millgaus or Explorer... for the rest... waiting list...
I waited an Deepsea 126660 for seven months and about Gmt II 126710BLRO my official dealer told me "six/seven years..."
