Hmmm...New Rolex Boutique in NYC???
While walking down 5th this morning I saw this.
Wonder if Wempe is moving their entire store to the Rolex building or just their Rolex products.

I use pliers to get my crown in the right position. Hate when my crown is upside down...but REAL hard to fix. Easier when it is just a little off center on some watches.

That is correct! Please read post 12 in this post (http://www.rolexforums.com/showthrea...11#post2826811). The VP of Wempe Mr. Ruediger Albers informed me they will be opening a Rolex boutique inside the Rolex headquarters. I can't wait to see it!

Excuse my ignorance, but what exactly is the Rolex building? Is that their service center? Or is it one of their own office buildings?

Thanks for the insight!

That is pretty cool to have an actual Rolex boutique in the Rolex building! Shop when you drop off your watch for servicing!

The AD at the Tourneau Rolex boutique on Madison and 50-whatever it was told me they had the largest selection of Rolex's in the city, I was kind of surprised actually.

Maybe new ones, but he needs to take a stroll down 47th street on a weekday afternoon

More likely not screwed down all the way. Note the lighting is 100% accurate. Not easily "photoshopped".
