Ah...so Fourtanes of Carmel By The Sea branching out to San Diego? Nice. I hope they have product as well. Look forward to the update.

I called the Carmel location to ask about this new boutique. It is in fact a single brand official Rolex boutique which is something San Diego didn't have before. He says they should be fully stocked but anything like a Daytona etc. will most likely not be in stock.

I am very tempted to drive over tomorrow morning and see what's up but I feel like it'll be a waste of a drive.

Fully stocked except for non-precious sports models. I guess those will be stocked in their safe. Haha

Last time I was in San Diego a small store (Nikki & Co) had all sorts of nice stainless, vintage, and seemingly new Rolex models. Next time I am out there I will have to visit that AD.

San Diego was a welcome change from Yuma!

Never heard of them. There are only 3 AD's including this one opening tomorrow here in SD.

OP keep us posted if you visit the store today , I'll be in SD in a couple of weeks, don't think there will be anything interesting left but will like to hear you comments about the store , if they're anything like Fourtané should be very service oriented.

I'd venture to say 99% of all the professional stainless steel models are already sold to vips or reserved for them.

Wearing my SD43 - hope it bring me luck getting a GMT Pepsi or Daytona. We’ll see.

Looks like nothing but DJs going in the window displays so far.

Looks like I posted my last post the exact same moment you posted yours. Thanks for posting those pics. Looks nice!

Cool!......Glad to hear that you made it today and will get first pick of the litter! Hope you score on a nice SS piece at MSRP. If it works out, this is FAR better than any of those black Friday TV or electronics deals!

Good Luck! I hope you get something "good". You deserve it since you're first in line. Tell them that you heard they were offering "Doorbuster" deals to the first 5 people in line today. Your choice of a 126710, 116500, 116710 or a 116610LV at msrp!

Thanks again for the pics. Yes, it looks like all DJ's in the windows. The only watch I see that I would want the most is your SD43! Lol! I'm surprised they don't have any DD or PM sports watches displayed. All the "good" stuff is in the back waiting for you??

Pretty cool - really nice people here. Store GM (Mark) came out about 15 mins ago and introduced himself. He said no SS Daytona, one Pepsi (but spoken for by existing client). Said he has some SS Skydwellers (wasn’t sure about blue), subs (didn’t commit on LV) and thinks he has a James Cameron DEEPSEA.

Owner (Josh) came out a little while later to take his German Shepard our for a bathroom break. He introduced himself and shook my hand. He said, “Big game today Army-Navy. Our family is all West Point.” We chatted football for a bit (his team doing well, and mine doing way below normal this year).

Anyway, looking forward to going inside at 10am.
