DAVIDSW's store in Orlando

hi all,

Just wanted to share my experience w/ DavidSW's store in orlando. I was in Orlando for a conference, so I stopped his store called called Select. it's near Universal Studios (same shopping center as whole foods and golf galaxy).

Anyhow, I met Dan and Nina and chatted w/ them for a bit. Really great folks, very friendly, and it's always cool to put a face with an online dealer. They carry other stuff like yeezys and handbags which I thought was cool.

Unfortunately I didn't pick up anything this time around, but would definitely do so once I know what i want next! I picked up a CK 2998 recently so still enjoying it at the moment. Just wanted to share my experience since I know a lot of ppl purchase from DavidSW on this forum.

Thanks for sharing. Does the shop have most of his online inventory? How big is the store? Any photos?

(thanks admin for moving my post. Sorry for posting in the forum originally!)

i didnt take pics of the store. it's not a huge store, but has 2 rows full of display cases. so imagine walking in, w/ one row of display cases on each side. one side are all watches, and the other side it looks like they're setting it up for handbags and other items. Quite a decent selection displayed in the front, w/ panerai, rolex, APs, etc.

it was cool that they took the time chatting w/ me, even though i made it clear i was just stopping by to check it out. they chatted w/ me for over 20 mins, i've never bought anything from them (yet!) and the connection was just TRF. They clearly care about their forum customers and their reputation is well deserved.

That looks great, I-ve bought a couple of watches from him in the past.

Good guy, happy he's doing well.

Was the gray color scheme done tongue in cheek?

Wow very impressed also, that store looks better than some Rolex ADs!
And I too thought he worked out of a shed in the back yard, or garage ��
