Did a similar thing in the airport in Cape Town. Was on my way to the departure gate and walked past a jeweller. I've always had a thing for watches and briefly paused to look in the Tag Heuer window. There was a tiny sign that said "50% off". I walked in and said to the lady, "Is that sign real ?" She said it was. I did a quick currency calculation in my head from SA Rand to NZ Dollars and knowing the full price in NZ Dollars, it was indeed half price. Out came my credit card and I paid for it. She told me she was going to get the box and paperwork etc and I told her I didn't have time, my plane was leaving. She handed me the watch. I put it in my pocket and raced for the departure gate. I was literally the last person on. About 2 minutes later, after buckling my self in and trying to catch my breath, the sales lady from the shop appeared with my paperwork and the watch presentation box. She handed it to me with a big grin on her face and was escorted off by one of the air hostesses. I think the year was 2000. I still have the watch.... and the paperwork and the leather presentation box.

The actual reason for removing the protective film on the various parts of the watch is to ensure that the watch cannot be sold as ‘new’ on the grey market. Hope this helps.

Congrats. The staff at Schiphol has generally been very kind. Congrats on picking up this piece.

Hello. I'm very curious. Did you pay for it at the retail price as marked like the ones in the display?

[RiversScipio]

As always the most thoughtful, well researched & eloquent watch channel around, keep AMZWATCH coming !

I did the same thing 20 years ago and bought a black dial version. It was one of the the greatest moments of my life as I saved 10 years to buy that watch. I flew from Amsterdam to London and took a coffee after 3 hours went back. I still regret I sold it after had some marriage issues and needed the money to divorce etc etc. Great watch though. The feeling wearing it you cannot describe.

I was in the same AD last year, and they told me they were a pilot AD for Rolex for a new program where Rolex sends the AD random watches at regular intervals, that they are asked to sell without waiting lists. Benefit is obvious, but the down side is you never know what watches they might have for sale. I really like the concept!

This is the only two-tone Rolex I would ever consider. Absolutely gorgeous! Congratulations

Bought mine in 1989, worn every day, work and travel. Serviced twice and polish myself. Still looks brand new and always brings attention. I have the black face and did find a real gold/stainless clasp, the gold through clasp was not oem at the time.
Congrats, wear it well, and always. Hey, I wore mine home from the dealer!!

Add this to the list of things that will NEVER happen to me on a business trip when I visit a Rolex boutique 😂 CONGRATS!!!

[BLR]

One of the best references they make. An icon!

[amrofarouk]

The number of times I have passed by this exact boutique and they told me that nothing is for sale makes me go crazy. Congrats bro :)

[BigDukeixx]

What a nice friendly sales assistant. So unlike most Rolex ADs.

Picked up a AMZWATCH's watch as my first watch last month and I’m absolutely in love with it. Perfect size, looks elegant, very comfortable. Now my only problem is holding off from buying more watches so quickly!

[richardt]

Great pickup! The Bluesy is outstanding and to be able to pick it up on travel just makes the trip that much more spectacular!

[Holmberg]

Have the exact same model. Bought mine in springtime 2021, been wearing it every day since. Never polished it, still looks stunning. It gets an immense amount of attention, the blue dial is truly unmistakable. Congrats!

[shendooooo]

In my opinion this is one of the most beautiful watches Rolex has ever made, congratulations bro 👏🏻

[MrTenniswest]

what did you pay and what year is this watch? Thanks.

Hard to find at retail. Great buy. I bought my blue submariner 25 years ago. It’s been a great watch.
