Hi folks - I've recently been learning about the Rolex world, really took a more serious interest a couple years ago and have yet to acquire my first watch, but hoping to soon. I'm curious if anyone here has any local advice as I pursue this journey – any ADs even worth trying to start getting to know, or should I just be leaning into grey market / online sources while I try to do this?

Govberg in Philly is always a great place to go.

You should check out Benari Jewelers in Newtown Square. They are an AD and very helpful.

I made my first Rolex purchase at Bucherer in the KOP mall. Maggie and Hannah were both a pleasure to work with.

I picked up a SD43, which I’m loving. I just went back today to look at a DeepSea and JC DeepSea. Very nice and helpful folks! Highly recommend!

New Philly couple under this name. I will second the Govberg AD in the area. They have always been good to us.

As with most big cities nowadays, center city Philly would not be the wisest meet up locale. I suspect the Main Line area is best. Hopefully a great place to meet up will be the new, stand alone Govberg store in Ardmore, with lounge , once completed.

Lol, center city Philadelphia is a perfectly safe place to meet. I'm there every day.

We need a Philly area meetup! Maybe KOP, mainline, something! I’d love to get together with other watch lovers!

There will be a lounge for customers or a hang out spot for watch lovers?

The new Govbergs, under construction in Ardmore, hopefully will have a lounge like the Center City location. Would be very nice.
