I'd stick to the UK.

Every AD has EXP2 sitting in their windows. You'd maybe even be able to negotiate a little.
Iconic has a nearly new for under £5k and a new one for £5,500.

Also saves on VAT issue for entering UK

LHR T5 AD had both colors in stock. It's not a difficult piece to obtain.

They're in every window. About the easiest watch to get hold of.

If looking to purchase new I don't think you'd get a much better deal than if you just walked into an AD now. As others have said they are readily available, personally I wouldn't wait.

Just flew out of Heathrow T3. They never have any of the spots watches there. No Explorer 1 or 2. T5 is always better and I seem to see Explorers in white when I go in every other time. I am.in and out of T5 every week

I always buy from Iconic Watches in Blackburn UK I fly over whenever I'm looking for a particular Rolex. You won't do any better than Iconic They have up to date unworn Rolexes usually stamped signed & dated by Rolex AD in Europe at very competitive prices

And here's my new baby!! Found a great deal at global watches in North London..Unworn piece with stickers. Going to have to sell my 16610 sub to justify this new purchase and make my missus happy though.

Not so much these days, but if you are buying in Euros then you will still do well.

Congrats on the Exp2!

I find Iconic Watches great value whether your dealing in sterling or euro I've bought a couple of Rolexes from them unworn. I always visit the shop in person so there's no confusion & they really are a professional set up & even taking the cost of the flight into consideration I save roughly 1,000 to 1,500 & it's always first class service. If they haven't got the Watch you are looking for in stock they can usually source it in a month or so

I bought a PM from them a few years ago and saved 30%, a very good deal, today that would be 15% only as they source from Europe. On the popular SS they are often above retail now.
