Authorized Dealers

Can anyone calculate or guess how many AD`s there are in all of the US including Hawaii and Alaska?

I can`t access the US Rolex website from Canada,whenever I try I`m automatically redirected to the Canadian site.

I can't comment on that, over here we have 3 AD's for 5 million people.

1 AD has 1,67 million people to cater to.

If the same ratio was for the US, then the US would have 180 Rolex AD's.

I think there's a lot more than that.

Here in Canada we have 42 AD`s for a population of more than 30 million.The US has a population of over 300 million therefore the same ratio as Canada would give the US 420 AD`s which is still low in my opinion.I think the US has more than 500 AD`s.

There's a lot of them

California probably has more than 500 by itself, and at least 2 service centers, one in Bevery Hills and one in San Fran..

Doesn't make much sense to guess if you don't know where you are going to be...

That would mean there would have to be 100 in each of the cities of San Diego,Los angeles and San Francisco and one in every major mall all the way up the coast.

Are you serious?

Rolex AD's are like Starbucks in Hong Kong. Just kidding but it seems that way.

I don't mean to be rude by why does it matter how many ADs there are in the U.S.A.???

I`m trying to form a picture of the size of the North Amercan slice of the Rolex pie to determine where it ranks in terms of the worldwide Rolex picture.We hear a lot of the emergance of Asian and Chinese economic power in particular,but I wonder what the numbers are and if they can be deduced from the overall size of the various other markets,,,,,,,,,,just something to amuse myself with.

`just a bit of armchair market analysis to keep the old grey cells amused.

Would be interesting to know, IMO.

I also think there's a lot more than 600.

I'm not sure if there are 500 ADs in California, but there are certainly more than 100. I live in San Diego, and have 7 ADs within 15 miles of my house.

I could believe perhaps 200 for all of California but no more.

I don't think there are even 500 AD's in the world, let alone California.

BTW, There are 69 AD's in California. Most of which are Ben Bridge

Nope, the answer I gave is absolutely the best guess at an estimate without physically going through every state and counting up every single listing..

I've physically been inside AD's in Juneau Alaska, and a couple in Anchorage Alaska.. I've also been in 2 in Maui, Hawaii.. that means that each of those remote states have more than that because they have other large cities.

I think that it's a good guess, and possibly on the low side..

I`ll take your word for it for now however I will continue to research this matter until I find a way to get to the US Rolex site.
