Amazing in display availability

I was walking past my local Rolex dealer today and saw these in the window, I don't think I have ever seen this many hard to get pieces available to buy at walk in at the same time, maybe its a sign of the times?

Give me the new Kermit at MSRP and I would be a happy man.

I will get roasted for this but with my Tudor GMT I do not have a desire to move to either of the new GMT Masters.

I honestly ( and im not making this up) didn't even have my wallet with me, I have walked past that store every day for a year and only ever seen the usual datejust's and yacht masters before.

So your only posts ever are based on imaginary models for sale in the AD display window?

I can only pass on what I was told by the dealer, like I said its the Rolex authorised dealer on the diagonal in Barcelona if anyone wants to check! I could barely believe my eyes.

I realise this being my first post makes this look suspicious but I'm a long time reader and thought I would share this in-case I can help anyone else in the city that wants to get there Monday and have a look, there's no way to make you guys believe me but hopefully someone will go there next week and see for themselves!

Don’t sweat it. Thanks for sharing, hopefully anyone in your neck of the woods who fancies one has a chance to get lucky.

I have no reason to doubt. I was in Barcelona exactly one year ago. Wonderful city.

they could well be used I guess, my Spanish is ok but not amazing yet so I didn't go in to that much detail! personally it was nice to see then in real life anyway because I'm quite new to collecting.

Thanks for sharing but yeah - 99 per cent sure they’re not going to be new models for sale to public.

Its Strange in Barcelona at the moment, the economy is suffering in all of Spain and for a city that relies on tourism so much it's like a zombie town, a year ago I don't think they would even have made it to the window.

Maybe the local's aren't buying and the tourists aren't around to take up the slack?

If they are really for sale, I bet AD would insist on a "bundle". Thanks for the posting though, OP.

Considering that's a bouquet of all hot models they are probably just display. Still beautiful and nice to look at in one pic. Thanks for sharing.

You need to change your User Location - it says UK but you say your local AD is in Barcelona?
