I've been in Cancun for a few days now and I visited the usual suspects; Ultra at La Isla, Luxury Avenue - And no dice. No sign of any SS sport Models.

When I asked the sales lady at Isla she gave me the nastiest attitude in the world when she responded "You must be joking thinking you'll find a Submariner here, they're sold out all over the world" - Thanks Lady!

Drove South to Ultra at Playa del Carmen - Deepsea inside the case - Asked for a Sub, asked for a Sub again, this time with a giant smile on my face. Twenty minutes later, Sub C Date on my wrist. All stickers off at AD and not a dime off except for getting my taxes back in about 2 months.

If you guys recall I slimmed down my collection to invest a little more money and since things started to pay off, it was time to once again put an icon back on the wrist.

Viva Mexico!

Congrats Carlos. Buying new watches on vacation is always great. Extra memories, meaning, and all that

Congratulations! That's a great story. You're right about asking nicely and smiling sometimes paying off. Good lesson.

How is it down there right now? Did you ever feel unsafe at any moment? Wondering if all the media attention on the travel advisory is all hype.

Awesome find by the way! Congrats.
