Icon5 Anyone ever use a restroom at a Rolex AD?



if it had a bunch of Rolex mags, would you snag one or ask for one before using the throne of the crown?

I don’t think I’ve eber subscribed to a thread.

This might be my first. I’m into this topic.

But I would not snag the mag. It has been “soiled” as per Seinfeld.

My wife had to use the bathroom at our AD.

No magazines, but a fluted toilet seat gave the room some nice bling.

Yup Geary’s Beverly Hills. The flagship store, not the boutique. No magazines that I remember.

I actually spend few seconds pondering that.

Fluted toilet seat... No thanks, I prefer smooth toilet seat

Well, I can tell you for a fact that during the eight or so years that I did business with Beauchamp Jewelers in Albuquerque, I used their restroom on numerous occasions.

And no, I never asked for any literature for that purpose, nor was there any in the restroom, either.

Not true. Cartier Boutiques have washrooms for customers.

Don't do it! You know every time a toilet flushes, it sprays micro droplets of fecal matter into the air, and these little shits land on everything in the bathroom. So if it's a public loo, and the magazine rack is right beside it... ewww. I wouldn't even touch it my friend.

Under the fluted seat is a Cerachrome ceramic rim that is highly resistant to scratches and has 24 hour GMT markers.

If I am remembering this correctly, the Rolex Boutique in NYC has euro style toilets to give shoppers the true Swiss experience

I never walk into a store having to go #1. Take care of that beforehand.
As for #2, I prefer the comfort of my home field and don't go public.

We'll see how things are when you're about 55 years old when it comes to #1.

As for #2, I agree.

I am already at 55 and on blood pressure meds which are a diuretic.

Probably not. But a restroom Powerpoint projection showcasing the various Rolex offerings might generate some interest amongst prospective customers and AD throne warmers.

The AD restroom toilet paper is absolutely luxurious. Like soft pillows on my tush. The water in the sink, like unicorn tears.
