Help: AD in Chicago

Good evening folks. Hoping someone could give me some leads/ referrals for AD in Chicago. As there is quite a few of them and being in a metropolitan city, competition is fierce and the chance of getting something like a no date sub seems to be an extreme feat. Would someone point me to possibly a good AD or maybe refer me to a salesperson? Thank you for reading this !!! Enjoy your weekend folks.

Razny's Jewelers in Addison. Ask for Roberto Martin, he is a true professional. Tell him Michael and Bernadette referred you.

Be prepared to put down 50% at Razny. They don’t have a list, rather they “special order” what you want with a deposit. Filters out the less serious buyers. It’s difficult to even be able to put down a deposit. I currently have two deposits on two watches. There is a very high demand in the area, all the way up to Milwaukee. No AD in the area would put me on a list for a SD43 or an Explorer 2. Razny finally did after a year. I had to go gray for the SD43. Sillyness.

But the plug for Peacock and Razny's doesn't count? They are all selling Rolex but only one usually has them in stock.

Thank you for your input sir. Yes, I am expecting these stores to be bare but since I'll be settling in town, might as well make some new friends. I have very low expectations Haha.

Would it be a long bow to say that all AD’s have stock?

Razny and CD SA’s only want to sell you what’s in their case. Unless you know the owners or managers or someone who can get you something. The SA are all the same, case only. The VIP people are the ones who get to order something but they have a repor and history. Which of us don’t have.
