I'm within walking distance of that AD. Wish they would relocate to Avalon and make it a boutique!

Sadly this is my closest ad (3 hours) and they were rather brash when I called last year. I am sure they get lots of calls but being curt with a potential customer is not a great start. That said, I do intend to try and get by there for my first ad experience. 3 Rolex, 3 omega, 1 JLC, 1 breitling, 1 Zenith and I have never been in a single ad! I gotta change this!!

Sorry for the de-rail. Enjoy the eye and wrist candy, and your night on the town! Hope 85 isn't wrecking your daily commute!

Just give Lynda a call. She is amazing and the store director is Kenny is a GREAT guy. Just tell them Steve sent you and you will be treated like royalty. No kidding.
Also I live North of them so no I-85 fiasco.

Sounds good and thank you. I don't get down that way too awful often and when I do, I am usually in a rush(family in a hospital like Emory) or with my wife(to visit our families.) Neither of which is great for visiting an ad. I am going to have to carve out a day and shoot down there.
Glad 85 isn't wrecking things for you, between it and the new mess on 75, I dred going through ATL.

There isn't much traffic at Avalon compared to North Point but if thry can have a Tesla dealer they should have a Rolex Store. I don't think there are any Watch stores at Avalon.

I bought two Rolex watches at Mayors in Alpharetta years ago and recently traded them in for three Rolex watches at Brown and Company in Roswell. Both are fine Rolex AD stores.

I picked up a platinum dial Yacht-Master in February and a Hulk last week. Because they are not a high traffic store they usually have hard to get models in stock. They actually had the LVc in stock. They can even get me a BLNR usually within 24 hours. I love these people. 30 month financing at 0% doesn't hurt either. I went in there last night to drop them off some ice cream.

4 of the 5 AD locations are within 30 minutes of each other. Alpharetta, Roswell and two in Buckhead. The outlier is Buford.

Have done business with all, and many of the former ADs (Bailey, Banks and Biddle; Mednikow). Too bad there are so few now.

Good know, I know there is an omega boutique and assumed others but never been to any. I grew up in Carroll county but moved away before I really could afford anything more than fossil.

Omega boutique is at Phipps Plaza, across the street from Lenox Mall. There is a Mayors AD at Lenox as is the Tourneau store. Brown & Co AD is about 1/2 mile down Peachtree from Lenox.

You should plan a visit....I'd hang out for a GTG.

I'd be up for a GTG. I can just see it now. A group of guys shopping for watches like women in a group do with handbags and shoes. It will be a strange site to be sure. The Mayors at North Point has an espresso machine with the proper little espresso cups. We can have our refreshments there. I'll bring the little tea biscuits.
