Wow, no steel sports models avail in Barcelona!

Went to 2 boutiques so far and both have been misses!

Was only able to locate explorer 2 in both colors and Bluesy.

Still on the fence about the bluesy.

Found an aquanaut with bracelet (ugly with bracelet) but passed on it.

Is there a place I should be checking out for Patek and Rolex?

Sorry no help for resources in Barcelona.

I was able to score my BLNR on my honeymoon in Barcelona back in early April. The watch wasn't on display and on hold for a person. The boutique attempted to contact the person but got no response. The lady immediately sold it to me.

At 12% off and then VAT return is somewhat tempting
