Venice AD

In Venice and found a very small AD. Did not make it in as they were going to lunch but they had the new TT GMT, RG GMT, Batman, Migauss Z, RG DD with Eisenkiesel dial, TT sub, Airking, DJ41, Explorer in the front Window. Won't get to go back to see what else they have in stock as we leave for Florence. Not sure what was for sale. Wonder if someone can walk in and buy as it is a very tourist laden city.

If you have $ and they are for sale (not exhibition pieces) they will gladly take your $
If they were spoken for or not exhibition pieces they'd be in the vault.

Or they’re not an AD and selling at market price

No AD in the world has those models on display and available for sale

In 2015 I walked into that AD as a tourist and bought a Submariner so you could do that in the "before times". The salesmen were very kind and it was a memorable experience. These days, those are surely exhibition pieces.

It is most likely the Salvadori Rolex boutique if you were in Piazza San Marco and is probably the smallest Rolex AD in the world.

Went a few months ago. Full windows but nothing for sale. I think they offered me an iced out dd or Dj. Maybe it was my vibe the Panerai guy a few shops down was much more inviting. As an fyi the Venice and Florence swatch stores had most of the plastic speedies

Salvadori usually does have a lot of stock available. Will be in Venezia, Fruili, Guilia next march and will definitely check out Salvadori in the hope of picking up a TT Blue Submariner.

Headed to Venice soon, I've had luck in Monaco (Date-just) and Paris (Sky-Dweller) in recent times so would be interesting to see what Salvadori has to offer
