I was guessing Mississippi but then remember that they might not have any ADs as they are still using sand watches.

I figured someone would be interested in the HULK....... I also thought the Blnr on the back row would gain interest too......

I wouldn't like to be an AD with all the popular models now, that's really telling Rolex they have very few customers compared to other thriving markets. Tough future ahead.

I am beginning to develop an unhealthy obsession with the Deep Blue.
Too bad I'm nowhere close to making it happen (yet)

There are roughly 72,000 ppl that live in Gulfport while the state has less than 3 mil and an average income of what some of these watches cost. Capitalize on the opportunity and come down, visit, gamble at the casinos and buy a SS Rolex...... or don't. We just don't have AD's across the street from one another, like the thriving markets.

Well done JnmEaton, you should go back by that ADs store and ask for a commission. At least get moved up a couple spots on any list you are on.

Well that was pretty ignorant. I know some wonderful people from MIssissippi, and have been there and enjoyed some its beauty and great southern culture myself.

I rarely see a quality post in all caps or all bold....this one is no exception.

If not for the SD43, I would've said OP was a time traveller, and went back to 2015.

Right on. My guess is that if you were to walk in tomorrow in person, they would still have at least some of them. My experience over the years is that AD’s can’t or won’t say much over the phone (unless you’re a regular customer).

As you can see, these watches are out there.

The key is small market, independent dealers who don't play games with preferred clients and other nonsense.

Thanks for the post. This is a great example of what can be found if one spreads their wings.
