I am an ex emirates employee. Back in 2015 I used to see submariners lined up for sale. During my crib break I used to finish my food quickly just to go around and check watches out. If ever i knew that Rolex market would be so messed up, I would have saved up and bought one. Now I can easily afford a Rolex but I can’t find them in AD. What a tragedy 😩. Thanks for your airport videos, always reminds me of the days I used to work there, day in day out 12 hour shifts. Lot of memories.

[@BAF605]

Always worth expressing interest in display only watches. I bought two exhibition Datejusts over the last year. Just a tip. Don't ask outright to buy but engage the SA and show him/her how much you like the watch. Dubai airport is probably going to be one of the last places on Earth to feel the recession but it is happening. Thanks for the update.

[@tiempodesobrahn]

Nowadays playing hard to get is marketing 101 at major colleges, that's what they teach to build a brand just try walking into Luis vouton, channel, Hilton hotels etc... but deep inside they are dying for our TLC (i.e. US$). May I suggest to stop asking about Rolex anymore and just focus on the brands that do like us!! let those girls play among themselves... don't get me wrong.

[@JoeDurobot]

*No wonder so many people are forced to buy fake Rolex watches.* *Even if you show up at the store with $50,000 cash they can't sell you one. Ridiculous!*

[@bdegrds]

Rolex are for VIP Tudor is for commoners

[@g43654]

Buying a Rolex from the AD is easy compared to buying a Patek lol.

[@garrylau8896]

You could take that $50,000 cash and help keep the gray dealers employed when they get their watches probably from the AD to begin with. The great Rolex market cycle.

[@michaelrimmer338]

No one’s forced to buy a fake Rolex. They just can’t afford the grey market price.

[@certainly2509]

Fake Rolex buyers are generally wannabes that can't afford the real thing.

[@christopherrankine1364]

Nice museum. Do Rolex charge entry?

[@lovvyr]

Hilarious

[@maheshpawar8448]

😂

[@zerperior]

Fr😂 can’t even buy a 20k watch, it’s literally just stainless steel

[@Lonnie91a]

If its Rolex and the hands are set to 10:10 then it’s display only. If they are random time the they are a real watch. The only way to stop it at that time would be to pull out the crown to time setting position or if it’s non functional display model.

[@matthewcoupeofficial]

That’s a myth…

[@tuberider1983]

Back in 2018 I was at the Dubai Airport Rolex dealer and have seen almost 100 watches on display. Most of them were DJ models in Gold with dismonds. The few watches on display now... it's a joke

[@amandabaynham-swales9222]

It’s woeful! They make watches for goodness sake! They’re not being asked to resurrect the dead?!

[@MichaelBoelton]

retail prices in Dubai are almost 10% higher than US retail prices.

[@stebesplace]

I’ll never understand display only in an airport.

[@petersmith2040]

I don’t think you can find ADs/Boutiques located inside airports selling AP, PP, or VC. Not even in DXB, HKG, SIN, LHR, or JFK. These brands are on another level catering to a niche market.

[@jbroughton383]

All the tudors are same price on uk high street and in stock now no wait list now .

[@bdegrds]

Rolex is for VIP clients, Tudor is for everyone else. That's the business model now, many luxury brands do this.

[@muhammadfahmitajuddin7405]

Luck on my side at this shop on Oct 1, 2023, the SA offered the 40 mm explorer 👌

[@Abs-y8s]

Grabbed an OP 41 black face last week in the other terminal. Price paid pretty similar to UK retail but even those aren’t available in London.

[@oceanocean9880]

I think still got many good brands. Its not wise to waste time asking n begging for the watch available. If everyone keep asking that Xxxx brand , the price will keep jumping up . From the video I feel that no customer service at all . For me I won't waste my time n help them promote . I have a seiko watch for over 20 years still working well . I bought it less than US200. I never even do service or check up 20 years . Just every 1.5 year change battery only

[@matthewcoupeofficial]

“Exhibition only” actually means for certain people only.

[@AICH810]

The Only for Display Market is Hot 🔥 huh! 😂

[@zeljkok6157]

Anyone knows how long is waitlist for Datejust 41 blue dial in jubilee bezel🤔

[@moghon2050]

That’s called window shopping not shopping!

[@bozyeuds6862]

The reason why they don't let you try the watches is that they are already reserved for a costumer.

[@o0MadHouse0o]

Further proof that precious metal Rolexes are no longer in demand as much as before.

[@mrbluethailand]

Really enjoyed this update please don't stop doing these videos they are very useful. I've switched off on Rolex, not because they want me to beg for a watch, I switched off because they are now way over priced for what you get even if you could buy at retail. My new omega is very nice and I'm happy with the price for what I received.

[@S1ickA2K]

This is so true. Omega is overpriced too though

[@fmalik7736]

Most of the watches are overpriced including PP

[@dangertomarketing]

These are not “display watches”. A real display watch (no movement) is always set to 10:10.

[@sherzodkurbonov3487]

I was traveling through T1 DxB on July 28. I was able to grab 41mm SS datejust on oyster bracelet with black dial for 30900aed.

[@gunduzalpsezgin7704]

i am guessing a smooth bezel?

[@Madeinlondon67]

Apparently they won’t let you try them as they are brand new and will eventually get sent back to Rolex so they can sell them via their Pre Owned Program.

[@wayneguy6043]

A n AD told me that they could request a DJ and it should come in 1-3 months

[@luizfl]

Thank you for the video ! Here in Miami area is the same... but now the displays are full. just time ! Soon back to normal.

[@dressydress9726]

So where are these watches sold if only available for show?

[@tafsirraza6460]

if they are not selling the Rolex at the airport than what the use of that store at the airport.

[@nsbioy]

Showing off

[@angelsv8416]

very interesting video i've been a watch collector for a while, but I stopped about three years ago. I don't want to deal with the madness. Are you a watch dealer?

[@zionmatrix8200]

U can also review the other luxury goods like louis vuitton boutique that i see in the video .

[@sammantzis3577]

Thank you for the video, unfortunately I’m not sure why they stock Rolex considering they never have any available for sale. 😮😅

[@g43654]

You have to be at the right time to buy one because they get snapped up immediately.

[@hamzamojo]

Watching this video floods me with nostalgia. It was in this very store that I acquired my inaugural Rolex timepiece, which marked the beginning of a collection that has grown over the years. Specifically, it was the Rolex OP 39 114300 Rhodium Dial, a model that has since been discontinued. Remarkably, it continues to hold a special place in my heart and, coincidentally, I'm currently sporting it as I compose this comment. I've never had the same stroke of luck when visiting this or other Rolex boutiques located in airports since that memorable purchase.

[@AndreaDoesYoga]

Great watch selection, love your Submariner! 🕰️

[@Dr.KMKisluKabir]

I bought an Omega Deville from this very shop on way to London last July .

[@MattMorris481]

Sure wish I could afford one of those Omega Aqua Terra’s!

[@matthewcoupeofficial]

Duty free is non negotiable so you’d actually get a better price if you asked at your AD for a discount.

[@ellmusic769]

Do you mind sharing with us how you make your living? Very few of us have the extra money to buy watches at yer speed.... Thank you

[@jenhoru9985]

he's mentioned it in another video he runs a business in dubai i think

[@mck7552]

! I am looking for the lowest price of Rolex oyester perpetual steel lady 28 or 31. Thank you for your response

[@Steve-qs9eq]

When I was there is 2018 they only had ladies datejust.

[@nickbrooker1411]

Great video as always but everything i hate about Rolex and their ADs in one video!

[@rcruz1211]

Imagine being an employee there where you’re paid to tell people they can’t try on a watch.

[@gh4534]

Is this a duty free shop?

[@paulbrennan552]

The price for the Black Bay Chrono s&g would have been handy....also , I saw an LHD Pelagos their......

[@Eggroll_kinggg]

Sorry for the dumb question. Do you still pay tax when you fly back to your home country although you bought it from duty free?

[@vicentvanmole]

Thanks for this valuable information.i thought of flying over to Dubai to buy , hoping there are available model.Now i can put off my thoughts.

[@watchofwallstreet935]

If they don’t let you try it on it’s a sold watch that hasnt been picked up

[@mosads2986]

THANKS A MILLION DEAR SIR FOR YOUR EXCELLENT PRESENTATION & PROFFESSIONALISM ... EXCELLENT JOB WELL DONE 👏 ✔️ 👍 ... GOD BLESS YOU 🙌 🙏

[@TomHemmings-g6c]

Are the Rolex’s in Dubai any cheaper in price than the Uk ?

[@Abs-y8s]

Not substantially.

[@pareshmokal369]

can we get on the spot or waiting

[@AvantKun]

No Omega De Ville in Dubai airport?

[@gymtrition5946]

If you were lucky enough to buy a Rolex there is there no tax on them either??? What is the rate???

[@brianmsahin]

Very nice video. I travel through Dubai on the way to and from Jakarta and my first stopover point tends to be the Irish pub for a nice cold pint of Guinness after 12 hours in the air! 😂 However when I do look at the watches, I usually look for a nice Grand Seiko or a Tudor. Rolex isn't quite my style, however it seems to be just as frustrating getting a Rolex want there as it is anywhere else.

[@PilotGigi]

It’s impossible to find any nice Rolex in any store. Wondering why the have stores 😮

[@krimsonfunk]

What’s wrong with people these watches are ugly! Specially those “2 door” ones , lol…do this , imagine the same watches …now strip the name and logo out of them and just put a timex logo on them . Do you still like them ? Don’t be a victim of Marketing and society created perceptions, since they are more full of shit than the watches themselves .I say that if you need a 30,000 dl “time” piece strapped to your wrist to feel better about yourself , it’s “time” to do a self evaluation in life.

[@ardeshirirani2008]

Why did you not bought any

[@wayneguy6043]

I will sell my blue BB 58 for $3500, no need to buy a used one in Dubai…..

[@nathalieyandle2145]

Bucherer at the Zurich Airport!!!

[@rushman13]

Was just here 2 months ago and no stocks of anything Rolex…

[@rav008]

I Had much better luck in Bahrain Rolex Duty Free. They did have Hot models for sale including a Yachmaster but I did not buy as I had one already.

[@countersmart]

So a buyer with a "relationship" with the AD gets first picks ..what a ridiculous way to sell watches...it basically tell most potential buyers...F U and those with a relationship can buy a lot of watches and sell them on...its insane

[@g43654]

Basically, it's all about the relationship. This is now standard for pretty much all of the highest end, extremely sought-after brands like Patek, Rolex, Hermes, etc.

[@nsbioy]

It is a strategy to make the buyer feel better. This is how the Soviet system worked: you were happy to buy anything because everything was in short supply. People buying into luxury goods shortages today are experiencing what people in ussr felt every day.

[@wildernessofzinn17]

What kind of F'ed up company has stores that don't sell anything?. How does Rolex stay in business when they only make watches but don't sell them?. This is a strange business model that appears to only work for them. Weird.

[@perryelyod4870]

I don't understand the mentality of so many people falling for this marketing scheme - making something very desirable by telling you you can't have it. Considering there is $200 worth of parts in this rather gaudy, mass produced watch, they don't have to sell many to be able to afford their snotty attitude.

[@jimmyz5831]

If you are an investor you may want to know that watches are peaking in price right now. Probably not a good time to buy unless you crap $100 bills and don't care.

[@TopQ428]

If the display says Exhibition piece only, that's a Non working watch they cannot sell you a watch that does not work ...

[@ShailendraNanekar]

All Airports are full of Duplicate Rolex watches. Original you will only find in Rolex outlets.

[@peterrichardson9248]

It's all very fine but if they are "display only' then why bother looking. Until this "display only" nonsense stops I will not be buying except on the secondary market. "

[@ericcsn]

nice to know i dont need to waste time to stop over at dubai airport

[@watchnutteruk6901]

What a great video thank you . Dubai airport looks fantastic 🍻

[@daundertaker3980]

Great vid. Thanks for sharing

[@hussinapoy3520]

Thank for Sharing and Infomation.👍👍👍👍👍

[@tigertoothcsgo5766]

Good update of DXB

[@charlestillery6327]

Rolex is the best everyday timepiece, enjoy you program very much, thank you.

[@SkywalkerPaul]

No. It's Casio.

[@PocketUau]

I was in DXB last year. How many watches did they have? ONE. One single, lonely, tiny lady Datejust in the most gaudy, ugly configuration imaginable. It was legit so sad to see all those watch cushions empty except one.

[@david05111]

I guess I have expensive taste, which sucks in this market. No interesting Rolexes at all (Steel or Precious Metal GMTs, Subs, Daytonas, etc.), no Cal 321 or Snoopy Omegas, etc. No point in even going to the stores, honestly

[@OCShree]

I bought a Rolex Sub at Bangkok Airport and a JLC at Hong Kong Airport pre-Covid. Pity what has happened to the market. I still look the airport stores to pass time, but alas, no inventory!

[@pitiwong1]

I think Rolex is playing this Hunger Game a too much to the point it took out all my appetize to buy it. Considering a super premium luxury watch, (ok, I know there are also PP, AP, VC......out there), If gray market and paying absurdly huge added price is the only way to buy it, then it is not considered Luxury in any mean!

[@mrlong6267]

Haha you can’t even try on a Rolex. Epic fail. Rolex snobbery has gotta out of hand. You have money to buy the entire collection but no you cannot try on. Go look at Omega sir.

[@johnobrien8398]

They are so lovely in Dubai the most pretty country and the most best shop of watches it really is so beautiful I love this shop it’s so great I’m going to buy a new watch

[@DubaiCanary]

They don't sell them !! 🤣🤣

[@DubaiCanary]

The Dubai Duty Free Rolex stand is a total embarrassment ! I have visited numerous time in the last few years and always he same - NOTHING FOR SALE. It is a complete joke and does nothing for the Rolex brand. They should simply close it down and remove it. Is this just a ruse to keep demand high by saying they have no stock ? Same story same in the shops in all the Dubai Malls. I can't buy from the AD's and I won't pay crazy inflated prices in the grey market. Therefore I buy other brands instead. Silly Rolex driving customers onto other brands !

[@Bretthegunny]

Wow 2 Rolex. Close your store.

[@AZPB12]

More Grand Seiko! Love your videos!

[@quokkapirquish6825]

The jubilee bracelet looks very dated now. I would never buy Rolex, they're too obvious and un-cool now. I would much prefer the pelages range from Tudor.

[@bishalyonzan9242]

I don't want peace, I want problems cuz budget problems 😂

[@u.u.u9969]

Sign me up for smooth bezel. I can't stand fluted bezels.

[@mbingham10]

Wow makes Birmingham airports selection look a bit sick, they only have Sekonda and swatch maybe a citizen waste of time watch shopping in Birmingham airport

[@sc1]

Do you ever ask if they have anything in the back for sale?

[@eternalbrother2360]

Stupid, that people fall this scam... They are not selling them as they want to keep the price up.

[@fedelifeandstyle8092]

New Rolex soon will stop being so hard to find.. and their value will come back to the price tag… as it was before… when you could have all of them with even discounted prices. The era of resell is over. The only ones with real value for the future are the vintage ones. Out of production

[@AnaInTh3Sky]

"The Market has crashed!!!" --> 1 explorer & 1 Sub "May I try them on?" NO

[@Adam-ui3ot]

Chopard next please.

[@wuuchingchia4630]

In Dubai they dont look AT rolex😂

[@DecemberNames]

I just watched your video and I really enjoyed it! Your video was well-made, informative, and entertaining. I especially liked the way you explained the topic in a clear and concise way. I also appreciate the way you included relevant details in your video. Overall, I thought your video was excellent! I would definitely recommend it to others who are interested in learning more about the topic. Thanks for creating such a great video! Sincerely. PS: I outsourced this feedback to AI

[@pravinpandya3033]

Have a safe trip.

[@edwardb7811]

That was a pathetic selection of Rolexes that were actually for sale. I can't wait until potential buyers boycott Rolex and buy the many brands that are better than Rolex, cost less, and are readily available.

[@28mouse85]

A date just for 31k 😭😭😭😭🤣

[@gregs8685]

Screw Rolex!

[@masudparvez6922]

Nice blog

[@wr215]

What is your video about? Display watches are in each Rolex shop. Everyone knows that. Is this surprise for you? Dislike for wasting someone’s time

[@forexmoneyprofit8784]

boring watches they are all the same yekhhhhh casio and citizen are much beautiful my casio still with me for 15 years

[@justinthomas2880]

Hello Habibi. Marhaba.
