Only problem with RDV is they only sell on the spot. No deposits are taken so I'd check weekly for new shipment

The headquarters is Rolex Canada - offices and Canadian Service Centre. They don’t sell any watches there.

They’ll never put something useful on display there most I’ve gotten was an explorer II black dial and wasn’t too good of an experience.

RDV is one of my favorites in Canada. There is no list and there is no VIP. You can simply give your number to a sales person and they’ll text you when something gets in. First person in the store gets it, last time when I was there they had an anniversary sea dweller and several subs and DJ’a come in. All sold within a few hours of the texts going out. You cannot lay over the phone and you cannot our a deposit, must come in and pay in full.

They had a TT Daytona two weeks ago when I was in there. I was literally 15 seconds too slow asking to see it.... poof ... it was gone

I just recently purchased a Sub from RDV and a friend bought a Explorer 1 not long ago either. Both circumstances were the same, you get a call or text and you have till the end of the day to pick it up if not onto the next customer in line the next day.

I can't see a sales associate calling 5 people for the same watch and a race to get to the store. The 4 people that show up and get nothing would be super pissed.

This is just my experience.

Seems like the same models are languishing in the displays of ADs across North America; not entirely a huge surprise.

Right but now imagine that was SS Daytona; you really think they're displaying it? Or lets say a Sub Date or Pepsi .... Highly doubt thats leaving the safe unless you're buying something PM or TT DJ or something

RdV is one of the most professional AD’s in the city.
