Only if I am strolling by. I will not make a special trip to do it as I know I will likely not purchase anything.

kilyung · 11 October 2013, 03:38 AM

I make the time to visit an AD.

samsmart · 11 October 2013, 03:43 AM

I do.

Where I am located, there are several Omega & Rolex AD's and one Panerai AD...that's it. So when I travel I really enjoy visiting AD's that have Patek, IWC, BP, etc because I rarely get to see these watches in person.

If I have the time and happen to see one, then yes. I don't search them out unless I'm actually researching a potential purchase.

FTX I · 11 October 2013, 05:16 AM

Yes

SixPak · 11 October 2013, 05:48 AM

I always research AD's ahead before every trip. Makes the trip more enjoyable whether I come back with a new addition or not.

VasilisGR · 11 October 2013, 06:04 AM

I usually do. But only if I saw one, on my way. I will not google it, to find one.

bradiowausa · 11 October 2013, 06:09 AM

I've been to the one in Interlaken, great experience. Don't remember if it's this one

DiamondJack · 11 October 2013, 06:51 AM

When traveling I tend to prefer looking for vintage or pre-owned dealers as normal ADs more or less all carry the same stock......Although living in London I'm pretty spoilt for both vintage and modern ......

sea-dweller · 11 October 2013, 07:08 AM

I always do it, if I have the time!

Art 1 · 11 October 2013, 07:13 AM

Yes.

iazrollie · 11 October 2013, 07:19 AM

I do. But, recently I have stopped. Too tempting to buy a Rolex, when I'm away from home and have fewer inhibitions.

X2. This is good. Made me laugh.

Gaijin · 11 October 2013, 10:12 AM

Always!

cedargrove · 11 October 2013, 10:29 AM

Yes, I seek out ADs when I travel.

I love handling and trying on watches, and although there is a lot of variety where I live, I always end up seeing something new when I travel.

Andad · 11 October 2013, 05:02 PM

Visiting AD's?
That's WHY we travel isn't it?

I just went to that AD 5 or 6 weeks ago and tried-on the BLNR and the Pelagos. Nice people and really decent prices

This is what I have started doing as well. At some of the regular ADs in my area, I have a bigger collection of sports watches than what the have in their display cabinet

boogiebot · 11 October 2013, 05:32 PM

if i happen to stroll across one on vacation sometimes i pop in. but i dont think its a must do on my vacations

Kadhytia · 3 March 2014, 04:22 AM

I always visit the AD's to compare stock and price.

brettpaul · 3 March 2014, 04:26 AM

Always....in town, both the departing and arrivals Duty Free Shops....local re-sellers....

mbkmbk · 3 March 2014, 04:28 AM

I'm pretty bad... I always reserve a watch day in my travels... All watch stores in the area are looked up and visited. Why not if there's the time!

ROLEX4EvEr · 3 March 2014, 04:30 AM

Always

My kind of AD. And yes, I do it too.

doubleroll · 3 March 2014, 04:41 AM

Yes I do...most recently visited Mayors in Miami Beach and Tourneau in Palm Beach...

Of course, especially in the airport..

illiguy · 3 March 2014, 04:42 AM

I have not yet, but definitely will make a point to do so in future travels.

axjimenez · 3 March 2014, 04:59 AM

I definitely try and stop in when traveling!

Tombstone · 3 March 2014, 05:00 AM

I enjoy Maui, when I go I stop at Baron & Leeds at the Shops at Wailea. Nice people always happy to talk with you and let you try on any Rolex that might catch your eye. Kinda feels good to keep going back year after year.

SaddleSC · 3 March 2014, 05:19 AM

It depends on where I am visiting. If it is a "watch city" like NY, Miami, Las Vegas, etc. I will usually make a point to check out a few ADs.
