I hear you Neil, but the Batman and the snoopy are not current models, they are limited or out of production.
Try a search for Rolex Oyster Perpetual and limit the search to new,. They are not list price. 8k+ none in uk.
If I visit the bullring there are 3 AD, Rolex, Omega and Bremont. Lets say I want something run of the mill eg. A 39mm Oyster Perpetual, an Omega Speedmaster and a Bremont S300. I can walk out of 2 of them with a watch and probably get a discount. Here's what happens at Rolex:
An OP please.
OK, what have you bought before?
Nothing.
Then even if we had one, you can't have it. We can put you on a list and we may select you.
And that 6300 watch will be 9K.
****ty way of treating customers.
So, at the moment I am buying Hamilton. Very affordable, great quality, readily available. I am thinking of an Omega Speedy or Seamaster next.
