Rolex Boutique Meatpacking NYC - Visit

Took a visit to the Rolex boutique today. I was excited to see the collection in person.

It’s a nice store at least! Seems like it would be very hard to get started at a boutique these days, but at least this one has a Tudor boutique attached, which does have watches available.

I think they made a mistake in having so many display cases in this store in the current environment. Not sure what they were expecting it to look like.

not sure why they didn't put "exhibition" models like most of the other Rolex ADs in the city

Wonderful selection. Did you pick up a display case? or waiting for newer models next year?

They need some exhibition models. Maybe they don’t want to deal with customers wanting to try on the dummies.

Agree and wonder why they allow such a bad image of their business.
A Rolex boutique should be packed with display models. Sad.

They do have exhibition models. (Or at least they did a month or so ago.) This just shows how many display cases they have.

They have four cases displaying various exhibition models.... and RUSA has been over delivering to this store over the past two months. They probably have received more pieces since opening than 80% of other ADs receive for the entire year.

I totally feel bad for the employees. Looks like a very depressing job :(

I stopped by the AP Boutique in Easthampton yesterday and it was worse. At least there was 1 watch at Rolex lol. Although AP had some cufflinks available.

They said if I bought 1000 pairs of precious metal cufflinks I could get on the wait list for the code 11.59 haha

You think I am kidding, one will be buying virtual watches amongst many other things in the not so distant future.
