My BLNR in Orlando

I am currently on holiday/vacation in the Orlando area as I often do.
Today I visited Florida mall and had my annual visit to Mayors. I never attempt to buy from them as they always say no discount etc so now I visit and browse but don't even discuss prices etc as in reality I would never buy from them.

They were extremely complimentary of my BLNR saying they were "hard to get in the Orlando area"- (Every jeweller in the mall complimented my BLNR and seemed to know what it was even the non Rolex jewellers).

They had a lovely sports model selection Including subs, LV, Pepsi WG, and a GMT with diamond bezel for $83,000 that was absolutely stunning. They also had a lovely selection of Daytonas and YMs.

Notable models missing were BLNR and SS Daytona which they said there were waiting lists for both.

We chatted a bit with some pleasantries and I left.

I snapped this photo in my rental car while stuck in traffic leaving the mall lol.

That Mayors in that mall is a poor representation of Rolex AD's in Florida. Not a prayer of a discount and the salespeople are remarkably over confident. Once they hone in on the possibility that you are not buying they won't give you the time of day. They also make one of the biggest mistakes in sales and prejudge people based on their attire. They were the first Rolex AD I had ever visited and they made a terrible impression on me. I left without buying and since have bought 7 Rolexs from another AD that treated me right. I promise there are many other great AD's in Florida including the aforementioned DavidSW who is right in Orlando.

This was my exact experience. After browsing the Rolex section, I spotted a red bezel breitling and he insisted he showed me it explaining it was a limited edition. It was $6500 apx which shocked me but he kept saying how limited it was and that the price was justified as if I didn't understand how "special" this breitling was. No pieces in the entire shop had prices displayed even Tag Heuer and Mont Blanc which hacked me off and made browsing awkward. He showed me then the red ringed superocean which was cheaper. He said "oh this one has 25% off in our secret sale". I asked what other ones had discount and he said that as its a secret sale he couldn't tell me until I picked a specific model and he would tell me if it qualified for a "secret sale discount". I asked him if any Rolex were in this secret sale and he quietly indicated NO. All rather cloak and dagger and came across rather stupid. he then lost interest very quickly!!

DavidSW is the only AD you really need in Orlando. And he can get you a BLNR or stainless Daytona without going on a waiting list. Mayors? Forget it.
