Without a photo this did not happen :-)

A rare sight indeed...
If Rolex spotters were like twitchers there would be 1000s camped out in front of the shop now with cameras just waiting for a sighting as it's placed in the window

Sub spotted in AD display case

I can confirm the following AD rules from my recent experience at least:
1. Will not discuss stock over the phone.
2. No waiting lists.
3. Do not know when or what pieces they will receive.
4. Stickers need to be removed upon purchase.
5. Coffin is optional. (I actually received 2)
6. They would love to have more SS models to sell ;-)

Patience is a virtue...I am really liking my new Sub.

Yep I was there a few months ago and they said the guy who just walked out before me bought the Pepsi that arrived that morning. Luckily walked in, I almost chased after him and offered a $1000 cash extra to buy the watch....

then I came to my senses

No lists.

First come first served.

About time for another Pepsi to arrive.

Do you now bring coffee and donuts every morning when you arrive at their store?

Haha its in a casino so I try to avoid going when possible, but every once in a while I find myself there

They told me that the next shipment is arriving in 2 weeks but I'd rather not go lose $xx,xxx just to spend another $10k on a watch hahahaa

Did they size the Sub for you? Could you have left without the watch being sized?

They asked if I wanted it sized so it was optional. Also, the warranty card must be named however they did ask what name I wanted on the card...hope that helps.

I am seeing more and more ADs move away from lists to not have to deal with the hassle. Great opportunity if you are diligent in searching for a reference you have your eye on. Congrats on the Sub!

We go there about twice a year, usually to see a concert or some comedy. I always stop in to check the Rolex stock. We were there Saturday night to see Hall & Oates, and they had nothing in the case. It's all about timing I guess.

It sure is pilotjim. I was also there couple weeks ago and visited the store in Mohegan Sun as well as this one. Neither had the Sub. Apparently I just missed one at Mohegan, sold the night before...timing :-)
