Rolex road trip

I’ve been wanting to add another Rolex to my collection and could not find it at any of my 3 local AD’s and was told it can’t be ordered, only allocated so it’s a hit or miss . So I got on the phone and started calling dealers in nearby states. Several calls later I located the watch three states away. The sales lady said they would hold it for two days for me. Next morning I left at 5:15 with 3 of my dogs and arrived at the dealer at 9:00. She retrieved it from the vault as she said she would put it. Wrote the check, took off the stickers myself. Also got some Rolex swag. Happy I made the trip. Great experience!

Excellent story and excellent AD - the gifts are legit (have not gotten anything like that with any of my purchases).

Hopefully it is an AD relationship that can blossom a bit as well! Congrats on a great looking DJ!

I recognize that AD... Used to live in Pensacola and JTS is the best. I bought my Daytona there... Will always be grateful to the Davis family...

Correct! Was a great experience. I will shop there again I’m sure. Next time I’ll arrive later so I can walk down to the cigar shop and smoke, then eat some Mexican food....all in the same block.

Display cabinet looks normal. Did you manage to snap a pic of the sports section?

Rainy weekend trip as Nestor came ashore?

Too bad the beaches were wet but the DJ looks great.

At least crossing 2 of the States was relatively quick

Great choice! Wow, look at those gifts. I have trouble getting Rolex magazines out of a local AD, even while wearing a Rolex. Look at your haul! I'm happy she rewarded you for taking a multi-state road trip!
