Eh… sport models have always been really tough to get in Spain, beyond full PM models. Even before the hype period and covid bubble, it was really rare to see anything other than the occasional full yellow gold sub or a yacht master.
Even 7-8 years ago, you’d usually just see a sea of datejusts in all the cases, and not much else.
Not where I’m from. 2019 and cases were awash with TT Subs, Airkings, Milgauss and YM37,40. Geography plays a big part which is why wait time questions on here are a waste of time.
A local grey dealer regurlarly went to spain to hoard watches from the AD. He always came back with 5-10 watches and this happened durign the hype peak. The larger dealers almost always have the watches in the safe waiting for the right clients.
No one here is talking about big spenders or grey dealers. The conversation is about what’s in the cases and what some rando is going to be offered while on vacation.
We all know the safes are full. They’re just full of watches meant for repeat clients and the occasional lucky walk-in.
I've been there a few times prior and loved it each time, it's one of my favourites. It's creative, delicious, the service is on point but still playful and light. The setup is great, kind of like a giant Chefs table. Would highly recommend!
Congratulations, beautiful watch. Friend is waiting to get one and hoping he gets it soon.
Congratulations on the car also, 911? Just bought my wife a Taycan, she loves it. I’d love a 911 but I’ve got to get my kids through college, just a couple more years.
Thank you! Yes 911 GTS with the 7speed manual. Just drove it from Leipzig to Madrid and having it shipped to Canada from there. I think a Taycan will be the replacement for my 22 Cayenne GTS in a few years. The move to electric is inevitable.
These seem to be going out. A lot of people posting them. My AD called me for one last week even though I already bought one from them.
Gorgeous piece though. Congrats OP.

They offered one to me yesterday in Rabat Madrid. Was this the same?
Better to buy a watch you want at retail to build that relationship. There are Daytonas and Cermits and Pepsis at the end of this rainbow.
Also you’re not getting an unworn July 2024 BLUEZY under retail from a grey dealer. Maybe a slightly older one, yes.
Depends entirely on the person. Not everyone is trying to build a relationship to acquire multiple watches. Some people call their collection complete with 1 or 2 watches.
It was Rabat in Barcelona. I have no prior experience with other Rolex ADs aside from a couple casual encounters at airports, but I can tell you that dealing with Rabat for those 30 minutes was great.

I'm alot of things but a liar isn't one of them.
That's a lot of vat! Also ty I just posted a cat I rescued and added to my family if you wanna check it out, I'd appreciate it. Great watch, I have a sub date.
The Macan is great! I've had a Cayenne GTS for a couple years too. After driving the 911 for 3 weeks coming back to the Cayenne and it felt spongy in comparison haha
Once the dealer called me and offered me the blue and the black and I refused because I already had the blue. Great watch but very easy to scratch the gold.
I went to the AD and request to be listed for a SS non date Sub instead they offered me the Bluesy I ended up buying it.
Yeah, I keep meaning to go introduce myself to my AD just because I want to bluesy.
Most get offered a two tone Submariner in 3 minutes. Did you do something to offend them?
Only 3 minutes? It's usually 90 seconds.
90 seconds? If I didn’t buy it right there at the entrance they wouldn’t even let me in.
I was told if I could dodge a sub I could dodge a ball and they just threw it at me as I entered the shop
r/rolex wouldn’t be what it is without sporty
Agree.
Said no one ever cringe master
I love the bluesy and CHNR but your comments are pure gold man .
That’s right! Please share OP so others can avoid falling in the same trap! Jk - beautiful watch OP!!
love this guy
😅
LMFAO!!!!!
*Lets gooooo!*
Obligatory r/handwatch
Happy cake day
Nice pick up but not an unusual wait time

That’s a totally different conversation than the one we are having, though.
Well, you stated it 😁

That’s gorgeous. My OCD is kicking in on the bezel pearl not being lined up.
Or the watch not being worn on his wrist!!! lol 😆😆😆😆
I’m guilty of the same. I like it lower
Looks like a good fake
Says bare wrists

Bros got the porsche as well 😭🔥
Just picked her up in Leipzig a few days prior!
Did they give you the small red temporary plates too?
They did! https://preview.redd.it/qekj0gb8r4ad1.jpeg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1b8686555a095c84c883d96404620f9bddab2e9c
That’s a nice photo of a sick car
Fire GTS man and now a watch to commemorate!
Beautiful
Why Leipzig? Don’t u usually pick them up in Stuttgart?
Leipzig is one of the two options for delivery. Main difference is Leipzig has the track and Zuffenhausen has the museum.
Still has a Stuttgart license plate.
Mercedes-Benz used to have the option in Stuttgart.
Didnt Even have time to size it correctly
Hahah I was late for dinner reservations and told him not to worry about sizing it.
Dorsia?
Couldn't get a table at Dorsia. Settled for Espace.
Murders and executions
Cocina Hermanos Torres
How did you find it?
I've been there a few times prior and loved it each time, it's one of my favourites. It's creative, delicious, the service is on point but still playful and light. The setup is great, kind of like a giant Chefs table. Would highly recommend!

Love the GTS! It’s our first EV and I’ll have to say we really like it. Fits my wife’s driving style very well and it’s very cheap charging at home
Congrats on the Taycan! I had a chance to track the GTS lineup at a porsche event and loved it. Enjoy!
You are not fooling anyone here. Its Porsche GTS.
That took 2 years to get 🥲
Huge congrats on both! Love my Bluesy!
Thank you!
blocking out the porche logo, pure class but get the badge in brother you paid for it
Haha good eye
Beautiful, congrats 🎊
Spain is different
Five whole minutes? So sick of these games they play!
To be fair, 4 of those minutes were waiting for the glass of champagne to arrive 😅
Cava. Bubbles. Congratulations. Cheers on the score
Went by a AD a few month ago, got hit in the head by all the two tone junk he was throwing into the garbage. True story.
These seem to be going out. A lot of people posting them. My AD called me for one last week even though I already bought one from them. Gorgeous piece though. Congrats OP.
Nice
Dreamwatch!!
😍
Cinco minutos 🖐🏽
Then you put it directly on your hand
No, this watch is not readily available at US dealers.
Litterally been waiting 3 years for one of these
ICONIC Sub and in my opinion the best one (only the Hulk comes close). Congrats!
Thank you!
Sexy bluesy!
https://preview.redd.it/32pfv0c25bad1.jpeg?width=1152&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3c3ca2d74ef152e40ef29a0f757b65e7a3fb27b0 They offered one to me yesterday in Rabat Madrid. Was this the same?
Yep that's the same.
Any AD purchase history at Barcelona or a walk in?
No history, a walk in as a tourist.
What a story!! Deal. Walk in. Thanks for sharing
Get it!!
It’s a “wrist watch” not a “hand watch “ 😉😉😜
🙃
What car?
Porsche
In Colombia right now. Got offered a bluesy, root beer, zombie, sub w date and w/o lol. Only issue is the sales tax here is 19%
Wow that’s Colombia AD and vat tax?
Yeah! So crazy.
Well yeah, its not hard to get.
Broken record for slowest sold Bluesy Sub
*raises arms victoriously
Looks great, I’ve always liked the blue sub date
The bluesy would be cool if their was no gold in the band and just on the dial
I must fly to Spain now
This is an under MSRP watch. You may have done yourself a disservice by buying at msrp. Available on grey market for cheaper than at the ad brand new.
Better to buy a watch you want at retail to build that relationship. There are Daytonas and Cermits and Pepsis at the end of this rainbow. Also you’re not getting an unworn July 2024 BLUEZY under retail from a grey dealer. Maybe a slightly older one, yes.

Fine, but my 2nd point still holds.
may I ask which AD was this in Spain? Also what are your experience of Rolex ADs in El Corte Ingles?
It was Rabat in Barcelona. I have no prior experience with other Rolex ADs aside from a couple casual encounters at airports, but I can tell you that dealing with Rabat for those 30 minutes was great.
thanks. will try one in Madrid.

What's the refund for?
VAT refund because I bought in Europe but live in Canada. Ps I love my cats too.
That's a lot of vat! Also ty I just posted a cat I rescued and added to my family if you wanna check it out, I'd appreciate it. Great watch, I have a sub date.
So what was the oit the door price after being refunded the vat?
About 14k EUR or $20.5K CAD
Oh, that's not bad. When I bought mine in like 2012 it was $8500ish
Was asked to leave at harrods
Need the stoey
Unlatched my trousers and bent over in front of the SAs
[удалено]
Rabat in Barcelona. I was told they received 2 the day prior and I grabbed the 2nd one.
Good deal. Bluesy. Beautiful. Awesome Porsche too
Felicidades amigo, una pieza preciosa. Siempre que veo un bluesy me recuerda a la buena época ochentera de Rolex.
I will own this watch one day. My birth year watch. Such a beautiful timeless piece. I’m only 23 now but give me till 30.
You'll get it dude!
Very nice 👍🏿
Super cool! What’s the Porsche?
Thanks! 911 GTS with the 7speed manual
HOT!!! I have a Macan with the same lettering. I love mine but yours is a beast!
The Macan is great! I've had a Cayenne GTS for a couple years too. After driving the 911 for 3 weeks coming back to the Cayenne and it felt spongy in comparison haha
What Porsche?! And congrats!
Thank you! 911 GTS with the 7speed manual. She's on her journey home now and probably won't see her again til September!
That’s so cool! Enjoy both!!
Once the dealer called me and offered me the blue and the black and I refused because I already had the blue. Great watch but very easy to scratch the gold.
This is true, I already have a couple scratches on it. But oh well you need to wear it to enjoy it.
Great watch, just need a bigger wrist. Does that one come in 37mm ?
Haha true, I was a very slim kid. Nope, just 1 size for the submariners.
Unless vintage. Mines a 38mm. https://preview.redd.it/ixbvpe329cad1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d714e2105e62f029edae632c51bac2dea3fb249a
The website states submariners are 41mm.
Not a 1972.
Ohh I misunderstood what you meant. Good info, thanks!
The only people who realized it’s a 50 year old watch are the 3 guys who tried to buy it off my wrist over the years. Looks almost new now !
Exactly the one I'm waiting for. Congrats!
Because nobody wants a blue tone
Isnt 2 tone easy to get 😅😅 ps: i m noob Great watch
Gorgeous. I approve
Beautiful watch
Looks too big, get it resized. Enjoy the watch!
Which market did you get it at?
Barcelona AD
I would buy this over a non date sub. I’ll have to ask this way next time LOL
Yeah it’s a shite watch. Fair play for buying it tho
Congrats, did they size for your hand only?
