Fla25 shares stunning photos from Mallorca and Menorca, discussing travel watches and the scarcity of Rolex sports models in Palma.

Fla25 shares a vibrant photo essay from his summer travels to Mallorca and Menorca, capturing the stunning natural beauty and relaxed atmosphere of the Balearic Islands. Beyond the picturesque landscapes, he offers a brief but telling observation on the luxury watch market, noting the scarcity of popular Rolex sports models even in a prime tourist destination. This post blends travelogue with a touch of contemporary watch market reality.

Here for you guys and girls some pics of the 2 islands I visited this summer.

I usually never go back and try to change destination every year but these two I really shall go again, nice food nice people and super super beaches and sea (the cleanest and warmest I ever seen).

BTW, of course no Rolex sports model (besides some 37mm YM) in Palma's boutique but it's no surprise LOL

Hope you enjoy!
