Recommendations for Vancouver

Any recommendations for Rolex browsing besides Lugaro, Montecristo, or Brinkhaus? Be up in Vancouver for some business in a couple of weeks.

Palladio and Montecristo are across the street from each other. I've been to all three and must say the service and knowledge of the staff at Brinkhaus is the best I've seen.

You've got them covered Mike, and other members have revealed what's left!
I hope Van can offer up a piece you're looking for mate, and, make sure to take advantage of the currency exchange.. Happy hunting!!

You've nailed all the ADs, but be sure to visit Otto Freidl. Fantastic family run business with history, character, and service also. Their shop is modest (despite prestigious location) but they're the "top of the top" for pre - owned in Vancouver.

Mike;

Maybe you need a Vancouver TRFer to guide you to the local AD's during your visit.

What dates will you be in Vancouver? I might be able to help as I have a second residence in Yaletown which is within walking distance of the 3 Rolex AD's downtown.

The downtown AD's are very close to one another (Montecristo, Brinkhaus, & Palladio). For the other two (a 2nd bigger Montecristo store in Oakridge Center and Lugaro in North Van) you will need a car or a taxi unless you are a serious power walker!

Let me know if I can help.
