Yes, a light at the end of the tunnel.

Definitely light at the end of the tunnel.

Rolex’s largest store in the world is reopening this week.

The showroom is run by Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons, the largest authorized dealer of luxury watches in the Middle East.

The Rolex megastore opened in 2018 in Dubai Mall, one of the largest shopping malls in the world.

Rolex’s store occupies 850 square meters of retail space — almost 10,000 square feet — over three floors.

Mohammed Seddiqi, chief commercial officer for Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons told WatchPro today that Dubai Mall is reopening this week, and all of its showrooms, which include monobrands for Audemars Piguet, Richard Mille, Patek Philippe and TAG Heuer, will be open.

Dubai has instructed that malls should be no more than 30% capacity, strict social distancing of needs to be observed and people must wear face masks.

Mr Seddiqi says that his staff are all trained to work safely with customers and the stores are ready with strict sanitation and distancing measures.

Good news, the lockdowns seem to have really helped stop the contagion in many places and now businesses and the economy have to move back towards opening up but with new strict guidelines.

[Mbbgysam]

Good news indeed. Keeping my fingers crossed that the new restrictions will be sufficient!

[Pim]

Yessssssssssssssss, i have been waiting for this. Now lets hope things normalise a bit

Thank you so much for sharing this news !

[enjoythemusic]

That's great news, hope they can sort out the timepieces stuck for months in service repaired first.

[The Argonaut]

Production will initially be limited, but it may then stay limited. It'll be interesting to see what they and Rolex do going forwards.

[Calatrava r]

Great news. Hopefully, full steam operation in the very near future.

[campfire]

That's great news all around.

[subtona]

All lists are starting over.

[Razorsedge1]

A little sanity returning to the world!

Lol, I’ve never heard you speak of their service b4

[zahain]

Great to hear! I haven't heard about my 5370p in for service so fingers crossed to get it back before the end of the year and eagerly waiting for a 5131p

[FreshPrince14]

Brilliant news! Just another sign of returning to normality.

Great news. Everyone should follow

[garyk]

I’m still waiting for a Rolex, the minute my AD is open, I’m going over there with my mask on, hope I get past security without gunfire, then find out the new status on my wait time which I think is about a year so far.

[brandrea]

The others can’t be too far behind then. I wish I sent my Panerai to Switzerland for service

[benlee]

Good new Switzerland has flatten the curve. Check worldometer.

My 5170 has been in there since June so I’m pleased they’ve reopened! Hopefully I’ll get it back in a few weeks.

Hopefully they have more stock given no tourists. The selection has always been as dry as the surrounding desert

Good sign, finally
