Hi all I understand this might be niche question but maybe someone can help.

I’m celebrating a milestone and will be buying a new watch at the end of the month. The end goal is a Rolex Submariner but I’m not delusional thinking I can get one from an AD at retail so I’m going to forget it for now.

My question is is it possible to get any of the others at rolex boutiques? I’m tossing up between

  • Datejust (Steel case with black or blue dial)
  • Explorer 1
  • Oyster perpetual ( steel case black dial)

I’m going to email and call the boutiques closer to the date but thought I should set expectations now.

Otherwise if I can’t get one I’m just going to go back to trusty Omega and buy a seamatser from the AD without any of the Rolex hassle.

I also don’t want to deal with Grey market or second hand and hence why want to go to an AD

Thanks!
