rolex resellers in dubai?

Hi all,
I will be traveling to Dubai next month and i am trying to get Yachtmaster which is impossible in AD.
I am wondering are there any other resellers/stores that provide Rolex watches 100% authentic, does not matter if i have to pay bigger price then with AD?

Thanks

Go to the gold souk. There are reputable sellers there.

You should also try the AD. Ahmed Siddiqqi &Sons is the only AD in Dubai. They have stores all over Dubai and can bring a watch to you from any store.

I live in Dubai - no chance you will get one from Seddiqi. I will message you in private and I can set you up my secondary dealer. He has a YM and offers very competitive prices

Lost cause going the AD route in Dubai as a nonresident (likely even a resident).

I was in the flagship AD maybe 6 months ago, getting a spare link for my Explorer. Next to me we’re two young ladies and a 30-something male. They said, and I’ll do my best to quote “I just want any Rolex. I’ll buy anything you bring out. Please sell us something.” They had been waiting for 12-18 months (can’t remember) for a DJ… You think getting a Rolex in the US is difficult, Dubai is on another planet.

As noted from others, souk is your best bet.

Souk doesn’t usually do boxes - just watch and card. Most of the stuff is bought in suitcases and bags via HK and Singapore. And a lot of them polish the watches selling as new and wash the cards. Some of them even sell stolen pieces naked and without full links.
