·Just been to a watch shop at The Parisian hotel and casino in Macao and came across this in the window:
Yup, a Panda Daytona. There was another one in a cabinet in the store along with a couple of Subs and a few Datejusts. I asked the salesperson if these watches were just for display only and he replied that they were available for purchase 😮
I suspect that it might be true as you can still see protective wrapping around the watch.
So, this begs the question:
Is the Rolex shortage finally over? Are long waiting times now a thing of the past for stainless steel sports Rolex? I'd be interested to see what the recent experience of others is.
Edit:
Just done some research on the retailer. "Royalty Watch Group" is a Singapore based company that specializes in sourcing high end time pieces for clients. So it's not a Rolex AD as such but a grey market dealer. Surprised to see one at luxury resort. Guess it was too good to be true seeing a Daytona on offer at retail. Apologies if I've wasted anyone's time looking at this post.
