Closest AD to me is 30 miles away, so hardly ever... (no "watch shops" exist in my area)

Minimum 1 per week. Usually more. I require coconut hydration therapy regularly.

Rarely, but during my time at RSC I had all kinds of nice watches in my hands daily, so that is enough to feed my addiction

Once or twice a year. There are only two Rolex AD's in the whole state of Delaware.

Hardly ever, only when I want to make a purchase. Otherwise it's torture as I want to buy them all!

None close to me...Closest AD is 120 miles. I usually stop in when I drive over to get my car serviced. One of the drawbacks to living in a rural area.

When my AD was open, I visited often, though not on any discernible schedule. It was often enough to be on a friendly basis with the owner, and all the staff, including security.
The fact is that I really miss those folks. It was always a pleasure to drop and and chat for awhile and of course, the watch buying. I averaged 1 per year over eight years, but the pace really picked up after they introduced Tudor.

I visit at least twice a month. I sit down and they trot out the new items even though they're pretty sure I am not likely to buy a 35k watch. Still, I spend a lot there and it's very rare that they cannot answer any question I have.

Last time I went in one I didn't know what type of shop it was. When I got in is was basically Fossil and Fossil grade stuff and nothing else. The person at the counter tried to start selling and my wife told her that I worked on watches. They became very quiet and didn't say a word as I just walked back out lol.
