How close is your AD
I recently moved less than a mile from an AD. I may be in trouble. How close is yours?

Depends on your perspective. My AD is either a keyboard click away or on the other side of the planet.

25.3 miles. That = 15 minutes if they have inventory I'm interested in.

About 20 minutes but more importantly it's on the way to work so I pass by it daily.

All three AD's in WA are 120 miles or so away from home.

Wow, that's quite a distance. Where in Washington State do you live? There used to be an AD two-miles away from me but they lost their AD status. Now I have to go to South Center (1.5 hrs.) to browse.

I am in Yakima. Moved from Seattle in 1997. If I want to look at new stuff, I usually go to Goldfarb's in Bellevue. They have a good selection.
In the 80's, 90's and into 2000's I had a private guy with a small shop in Seattle. He had a parts account and could get anything. He was a great guy but retired when Rolex started changing their policies. Last few watches I have bought from dealers here or vintage collectors I know.

Tysons? If you're in DC, that could be anywhere from 20 minutes to 2 hours away, depending on the time of day!

My Tudor AD is 20 min away, and my favorite Rolex AD is approximately the same, but there are a number in my area. Good problems to have!

Tiny Jewel Box is a great store and definitely respected, I just find that their inventory is lacking relative to what you can find in Tysons

Ah, great store. There's a gent named Steven who sells Rolex there who is very knowledgable. He used to work with my ex-wife at Tiffany, so I've known him awhile, and he's a good guy. 👍
