By buying less desirable watches which noone wants to buy and ladies watches. Also, buying jewellery and other watch brands sold by the ADs. Just explaining how it works, not endorsing the practice.
It genuinely isn’t that hard unless you want a Daytona, GMT or Platinum Day-Date. Got my stainless steel Datejust within 2 months with zero purchase history; few things that help, but honestly really not that hard.
Just returned from Italy and can agree about Rolex shopping experience.No appointment,no sale !But if you can go to say out of the way Rolex store which is off the tourist track I would not be surprised if they were available to purchase.We visited maybe a dozen stores over two months and found that at least some had some models for purchase .Italy is a remarkable country,plenty to see and experience.🇦🇺👍
Come to Shanghai mate, you will find quite the variety of steel Rolex watches on sale. Forget about golden pieces. I also still don't get how airport Rolex stores sell their watches when it is a transit hub!! It is not like you can make appointment and show up when they call for the available watch!
If you want a Rolex in Italy don't go in big cities. It's impossibile to get. They have thousand of clients and you are not welcome, especially tourist, for them you'll find only full gold watches.
Thank you for the city tour. I was there 10 years ago, but did not visit the Rolex store. Shoulder bags are fine for men, but I would go for a non-branded one, something low-key.
Luck for me I bought my first Rolex in the 1990's when they were far more affordable. That got me a buying record which years later gave me a foot in the door which you now have to have.
Thank you for sharing your trip with us! Tbh, I’ve never like Milano. For most of the reasons you seemed to have experienced. That said, the Porsche experience looked AWESOME!!
Went to Milan last summer . All the Rolex shops were closed except the one in the Duomo and the one on the side street next to it. People were not rude they just wouldn't sell. The Vacheron store had a woman's watch available but we wanted a Rolex. Milan is a beautiful city but you don't need more than 2 days to see it
Same thing happened to me when I was at that exact same Rolex in Milan a few weeks ago. The sales associate told me that they could put my down on a wait list but I would have to come fairly quickly to buy the watch once they called me
You are a talented young man. Could you please provide us with more honest car experience reviews & vdos. It’s over for Rolex! I am in the process of purchasing an AP Royal Oak from AP. No hurdles to jump over. Physically went into the official AP store and told them the exact model I wanted. Three weeks later they called me to confirm my watch will be ready for collection this Wednesday. Excellent, professional and direct service.
Glad to see Rolex not available for sale. Keep up the good work Rolex. Dont flood the market with your watches so bargain hunters can get discounts on your watches. That dimishes any true luxury brand. Thats part of the reason Gucci is struggling right now.
Hi, l have been following you since some years and I really love your Chanel and your passion for fine timepieces. Your voice and narration is also very calming.
Milan is so cool. Loved it. Rolex: I like how they used the lume plots from the Submariner for the decoration. Sometimes there is also an arrangement of hands in the decoration - including the lightning bolt from the Milgauss. Very interesting
Milan is such a beautiful city , visited it a couple of years ago as well as other cities in Italy and France . Regarding the body bag , I absolutely think you should get one as it’s classy and convenient if you need to get something from it quickly like a passport for example
Just go Rep. I own pre-owned sub and explorer, and paid way over the AD price for both. I got into Rep, and I can have anything I want and I can wear them without feeling scare of scratching them. My Rep GMT master II has been with me to Australia, Thailand, Egypt, and France, and I have had good memory with the watch, and I don’t worry about scratching them. Just go Rep. Ignore the the AD and their stupid game.
Amazing video - thank you. I was at London Heathrow T-5 Thursday last week, and they had yellow gold jubilee GMT for sale, two tone datejusts, and bling say-dates as well. So inventory appears to be coming badk
I love watching your videos. Are you under the impression that a brand new AirKing is hard to acquire right now? I’m in the market for one. Also, I would skip the body pack. Keep up the good work.🤙
Rolex at 7:59. It looks like vintage is the way to go. Rolex is just shooting themselves in the foot. Current Rolex owners should be able to buy a new watch at a Rolex boutique.
Lol annoyed by visit 1hr b4 closing. I visited taipei rm store just 30 minutes b4 closure n they served me bottled branded water with welcome hands , even though i bought nth (not that they had anything for sale 😅)
Nice content but you have to be a masochist to pick up a hundred rejections in Rolex stores while most models on the gray market are offered under retail.
Federico Talks Watches says he wouldn't buy a used watch in Italy. This from a dealer with lots of experience and Italian antecedents. Maybe you dodged a bullet with the used Rolex watches.
That's no different to my country and the stores. Display only for tourists. Sales only to residents. Makes sense otherwise we would never get ours. Never understood LV, looks ugly and tacky.
Great video - damn you making me want to travel!! And as I said before, DAMN they really holding onto those good ole covid days lmao!! At this point just buy unworn fresh dated from open market! Sad!!!
Rolex is pathetic. I hate them now. They think they are above everyone else. I’d love the whole community to stop buying Rolex for 12 months and see them change their whole selling criteria
Tell them to close their shops permanently😂 all for display nothing can be bought still hahahah lets wait for the hype to stop and people realizes that we are being manipulated by this dealers flippers hypers LETS BOYCOTT THIS LUXURY BRANDS THEY ARE FAVORING TRADERS FLIPPERS….
Purposely holding stock back to artificially create limited supply and thus demand. Shite. The smarties used to jazz up the store windows just cheapens it for me. Surprised you rocked that Panerai but think the Santos de Cartier large was too big. I prefer the look of the Cartier on your wrist.
How can you get a purchase history from rolex when they won't sell you a watch.
That's the point...you can't 😂 That's why we should concentrate on all of the other beautiful brands
By buying less desirable watches which noone wants to buy and ladies watches. Also, buying jewellery and other watch brands sold by the ADs.

Stupid brand
ha ha ha

7:29 this is a full gold deep sea, not a bluesy
The price for pre owned Rolex watches makes me hide my watch, and that Gucci blazer looks like old motel curtains
😂
Based on my experience, trying to buy Rolex abroad today is exactly like it was 2 or 3 years ago: not going to happen.
Aperol spritz & Milano - yes
Just returned from Italy and can agree about Rolex shopping experience.No appointment,no sale !But if you can go to say out of the way Rolex store which is off the tourist track I would not be surprised if they were available to purchase.We visited maybe a dozen stores over two months and found that at least some had some models for purchase .Italy is a remarkable country,plenty to see and experience.🇦🇺👍

I travelled to Milan in 2017 only for lunch transit for Venice.
Breakfast in Lucern , Lunch in Milan & Dinner in Venice.
Love the radiomir

I do like how they treat tourists there. They make it clear not to bother them. Perfect!
loved everything around the watch shopping! Milan & Porsche 😍
Why not go into a Panerai store if you are in Italy.
Cause Panerai are easy to get everywhere in the world.
Does it matter? Lots of brands are all over the world and easy to get, if you love watches and in the country of orgin why not?

I bought a similar LV bag recently. Keepall 50 but in Taurillon leather. It's awesome cant wait to travel with it

Very enjoyable holiday video vlog - thanks for sharing your experiences 👍🏼
Great story and really nice camera work at the Porsche Driving Experience Center!
Don’t do the man purse…I’m old enough(50) to know which trends will be really embarrassing to look back on in the future…this is one of
I like bags. But it depends on the style. Messenger briefcase pouch styles
Come here at Saudi Arabia too many rolex are available at store
Milan is such a beautiful city , visited it a couple of years ago as well as other cities in Italy and France . Regarding the body bag , I absolutely think you should get one as it’s classy and convenient if you need to get something from it quickly like a passport for example
Love the video! How much was the Porsche driving experience in Europe?
Really enjoyable travelogue Niko. Great narration as well as your always interesting musical choices 💯
Are they still making new products? Hermes is no longer making since their excuse is advance ordering or eligibility.
03:10: if you are on top of this mountain (or in the city of Lugano) you are not out of Switzerland!
I have a LV back pack but no body bag for me
I confirm, unfortunately in Italy the Rolex dealers, with a few rare exceptions, are arrogant and snooty..(I'm Italian)😃
Just go Rep. I own pre-owned sub and explorer, and paid way over the AD price for both. I got into Rep, and I can have anything I want and I can wear them without feeling scare of scratching them.

Those different classes come at 400 to 800 per session. The track is the most expensive and the drifting is one of the cheaper ones.
@@wisanu99yup the Bruno watches would do the job 😂
@@wisanu99yup brunowayches would do the job, got a few best of reps, the ad game is getting too funny lately😅
Your program would be much more enjoyable if you looked at other brands besides Rolex.
coming don't worry. Also many videos about other brands on the channel.
Go to Hourglass Sydney or chankyapuri Ad in Delhi. Has stock and willing to do business. No need for appointment, no dramss
the Porsche experience looked fabulous - the rolex experience - sucked. how does rolex manage ? - nice video TDE . ~ JDS/CT
Amazing video - thank you. I was at London Heathrow T-5 Thursday last week, and they had yellow gold jubilee GMT for sale, two tone datejusts, and bling say-dates as well. So inventory appears to be coming badk
Where is your shirt from?
Ralph Lauren
@@TheDubaiExpat ahh, great shirt
Also, I'm curious what do you do for a living?
Absolutely superb video once again... would love to travel through parts of Italy and Germany. Keep up the excellent work!!!!
Always renewable & interested content with the watches spirit 😍 👏🏻
Thank you for sharing this with us! What a lovely vacation.
Thanks for the tour !(Btw : beautiful versatile Panerai!)🇩🇪🇨🇵
Wonderful tour of Milano…thank you sir!
Serious question: why are you flying economy?
I don’t think it is worth spending 2000$ for 6 hours on a more comfortable seat. I rather buy some nice clothes or watches from that money.
@@TheDubaiExpat I see your point, thanks!
Porsche also makes watches please cover those in your future videos
What does this guy do for a living?
Some sort of professional cyclist.
I love watching your videos. Are you under the impression that a brand new AirKing is hard to acquire right now? I’m in the market for one. Also, I would skip the body pack. Keep up the good work.🤙
I would definitely buy the airking. Go for it, great watch.
that gucci jacket is no go, it is no surprise that they replaced the head of designers at Gucci
My "murse" is an LV... great way to spend Eid holidays.
Nice shopping spree I don't know what you do for a living but good for you!
Welcome in Italy
I will buy a 1:1 replica and enjoy it and rolex can kick rocks. No appointment needed and 5% of price same quality
Was available......."to look at". Damn it haha
Excellent!
Great Video!
Rolex at 7:59. It looks like vintage is the way to go. Rolex is just shooting themselves in the foot. Current Rolex owners should be able to buy a new watch at a Rolex boutique.
Nice vlog and nice drifts after 5 hours of training 😜😃
G8 mate
Nice Video! But on Monte San Salvatore you are still in Switzerland. 😊
Yea I felt like I am already in Italy as it is the Italian part of Switzerland and so different to Zurich :D
Love ur contents keep up the good work buddy.
Lol annoyed by visit 1hr b4 closing. I visited taipei rm store just 30 minutes b4 closure n they served me bottled branded water with welcome hands , even though i bought nth (not that they had anything for sale 😅)
That looked like the new all gold deep sea not the bluesy!
First rolex submariner was a 5 digit not 6. 16610
The Sea dweller and the gold gmt were working so not exhibition models.
Nice content but you have to be a masochist to pick up a hundred rejections in Rolex stores while most models on the gray market are offered under retail.
Loved the tour and the Rolex selection, keep it up! 👍
wieder ein tolles video. jetzt habe ich auch mal lust nach mailand zu fahren :)
Unbedingt! super schön dort.
Nice views!
Federico Talks Watches says he wouldn't buy a used watch in Italy. This from a dealer with lots of experience and Italian antecedents. Maybe you dodged a bullet with the used Rolex watches.
Gucci😨😰
apart from dubai do you EVER but a rolex on film
I keep saying greyyy market
Full gold bluesy? Nope 🤣
🥂
Got a coffee just for this video!
That's no different to my country and the stores.
Display only for tourists.
Sales only to residents.
Makes sense otherwise we would never get ours.
Never understood LV, looks ugly and tacky.
You're Filipina girlfriend is very lucky. Hope you enjoy Philippines.
How can a stockist NOT sell watches????
So much drama to buy a Rolex. I will just go with another brand.
Great video - damn you making me want to travel!! And as I said before, DAMN they really holding onto those good ole covid days lmao!! At this point just buy unworn fresh dated from open market! Sad!!!
yea it is crazy. Unfortunately also nothing came anymore in the US for me. Maybe also there they only sell to locals now.
Never go again in this shop in Milan 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
If you look up the Google reviews on these jewelers in Milan, you going to be shocked. They seem very arrogant and just very unfriendly.
No one cares about panerai - anywhere in the world 😂
whats worse - his English or Italian pronunciations?
Let me guess? Nothing available. It's a joke. Already lost interest. If you play their game you are a clown too.
rolex is shit...why is this guy zo focust on rolox ...rolex makes more than 1 milion rolex watches a year ...nothing special
Rolex is pathetic. I hate them now. They think they are above everyone else. I’d love the whole community to stop buying Rolex for 12 months and see them change their whole selling criteria
click bait video you are NOT buying but just looking ...also the videio had more content about your trip what a poxy video
Tell them to close their shops permanently😂 all for display nothing can be bought still hahahah lets wait for the hype to stop and people realizes that we are being manipulated by this dealers flippers hypers
LETS BOYCOTT THIS LUXURY BRANDS THEY ARE FAVORING TRADERS FLIPPERS….
Affordable $25 to look at some old crap? Yeah right... 😮💨😮💨😮💨
stop spreading BS
That Gucci jacket was hideous!
Purposely holding stock back to artificially create limited supply and thus demand.
Shite.
The smarties used to jazz up the store windows just cheapens it for me.
Surprised you rocked that Panerai but think the Santos de Cartier large was too big. I prefer the look of the Cartier on your wrist.
12:20 Aweful, Disgusting, Annoying...😅and more.😀🫡😉My opinion
