Hello!

I would like to introduce myself with this post. I've been reading for a while now and the time is right i'm 30 years of age, entrepreneur, and of course I like watches.

Since my graduation I own a Breitling Navitimer which I still do and for ever will do because it was a present. At that time, which was in 2013 I had the opportunity to choose either the Breitling or the Submariner. When I was trying the Submariner i was thinking ''hmmm.. is this all'' ??? (sorry) I liked the Breitling more. So I'd choose that watch. Still love it, however, times are changing and I want to also have a Rolex. So far so good............ not.

I'm customer with my Breitling at a local AD, which is also AD for Rolex. At the day I was thinking I should treat myself a Rolex a was just thinking: let's go, choose my model, swipe my card and never look back Easy, right? How more wrong could I be? Damn. They can (or will) not help me i've tried by email to get information from over 40 AD's all over the EU.. everybody is basically saying the same. Long story short:

I'm looking for a Submariner Hulk or Pepsi GMT or Batman GMT. I don't want to pay more then MSRP and i'm not in a hurry. I've been told that I'm on a list from a foreign country AD in the EU, but never been there in person and of course can not verify things. Lets hope the best of it. In the mean time I will do some walk ins; never give up. I know this will be a hard challenge, however you see people are having lucky.

Any tips for the mentioned references are highly appreciated, willing to travel al over the EU ;-). Not willing to pay the absolute premium.

Cheers,
Edo

Welcome to the forums. If you are wanting the watches at MSRP you will have to wait and continue to inquiry ADs about their stock. As this could take years, I would recommend going grey. Good luck!
