Grand opening in September. Pretty soon I'm gonna run out of safe alternate routes to get home from work!

I know what you mean... my old commute in Melbourne used to take me past pretty much every AD, including the Rolex boutique...

Oh, I don't doubt it...and I'm guessing that's just the ADs, right Adam?

ADs and boutiques, yeah. I added them up by district on Rolex.com a few months ago and got 67. It could be in the 70s by now I guess.

You can't have to many.

I'm curious to see how they will serve the sodas.

I love the Rolex advertisements. My favorite was the horizon shot of the Milgauss where the camera just catches the edge of the GV crystal. That alone got me to purchase one a few years back.

Fantastic.

I wonder how how all of these AD's compete. Competition and demand must be fierce

Doesn't really give the ADs any room to drum up the exclusivity pitch

Almost 70 ADs seems like a joke number for one city. That has to be the most in any city right? Just about one on every corner?

Shocking that the demand is that high. Definitely want to go to HK one day.

...just The Hour Glass, LK and Grima (boutique). At least the RSC is conveniently close to the CBD, opposite Grima.

I think only two in Perth, Smales and Watches of Switzerland. Both have very limited stock and wait times are in the months or years for a Daytona. Nice problem to have, Jake.
