i discovered there is a first of its kind, rolex boutique, on a cruise - explora I.

apparently, there is no wait lists and a limit of one purchase per cabin. cruise prices start at $4k; maybe worth a trip if they have watches available

explora I

recent video from end of august.

Interesting but wonder how well it will work. 75% of the people walking in will be asking for the same 2-3 watches.

I was on the Explora 1 several weeks ago. Not really a Rolex buyer but there was a a batgirl available. Spoke to SA in Cartier and he indicated if you have a request they will try to fill it. That pertains to Rolex,Piaget and Cartier I guess at one of the ports they can receive stock.

ah nice, how was the actual cruise experience and which route did you take?

The cruise departed NY and had stops in Boston,Halifax and Quebec City. I've cruised on multiple luxury cruises. This cruise was exceptional. Although there were various specialty restaurants at no additional charge the buffet was our go to. Lobster tails every night as many as you want as well as filet mignon. All the other choices were no less than excellent. The hot tub was insane. The spa was wonderfull although I'm not a spa guy. All at no charge. Did I mention all premium drinks were included as well as super WiFi and gratuities. Great anticipatory service. And so much more. The cruise was totally underpriced but I suspect not for long

Reviving this thread to ask if anyone here has gotten a hot piece from an Explora ship--e.g. SS Daytona, Pepsi, etc...?

mgsooner · 15 May 2024, 07:39 AM

I'll have one lobster tail and one steel Daytona, please

10XRolex · 15 May 2024, 07:57 AM

Ooooh, an official Rolex AD on the sea. Royal Caribbean's Icon / etc needs this! Watches of Switzerland should jump aboard.

1 purchase per cabin for that they’d want to have a lot in stock.We did a cruise years ago with everything way over priced and mostly DJ’s for sale

No doubt, did two RC cruise this past month.

The first was offering 10% of Breitling, nothing off Tag

2nd no discount at all.

They also had Omega and used Rolex.

Not buying in a cruise ship at MSRP, unless a Rolex sports model NEW.

On a related note, recently went on the Disney Fantasy to the Eastern Caribbean. There was a Rolex “Exhibition” one night at one of the stores on board. It was poorly attended but they had a decent selection of popular used pieces, most of them at a 50% markup over current Grey prices. I don’t think they sold a single watch during the trip.
