Nice Visit to Minnesota AD!!!
Stopped into an AD Saturday in Waite Park MN(St Cloud area about 65 miles N of Minneapolis)D.J.Bitzan.Talked with the "Rolex" guy(super nice!!)very clear he really knew his stuff!!Should also mention he is a member here too.Says he doesn't post much,,,keeps it on the down low!The best part was he seems to care about what he sells!!!!They had a nice selection to boot.Nice to see they had a few used Rollies for sale.So stop in if your in the area!!

Thanks for the heads up. I may be going to Minneapolis shortly. Are there any other ADs you recommend in the area?
I don't live in the US, so can't access the AD list on rolex.com

Have to say again it really was!!!!Maybe it was just that it was out of the "big city",,,a guy you'd go have a beer with and talk watches!!

"Minnesota nice" shows up again.
I'd have to eat at Granite City Brewery to make it a perfect day. |

Yes....Wixon's is HIGHLY recommended. They are dealers of Rolex, PP, JLC, Cartier, Panerai, and more. Everyone there is first class, but Aaron, David, and John are exceptional watch people. R.F. Moeller in St. Paul (Ford pkwy + Cleveland) is also worth the stop if your in the area. |

D. J. Bitzen
I am fortunate enough to be friends with Dick Bitzen. He is a great guy and runs a beautiful store. If anyone is in the area, stop by and you will have a great amount of knowledge about our favorite brand. He is passionate about Rolex and has carried them for years and is a great resource for knowledge on the brand.

My daughter and SIL live in St. Cloud. (He's assistant hockey coach at SCSU.) I'll be sure to check out the AD the next time I visit. Thanks for the info.
