New setup

Recently got some nice swag from my AD for loyalty. All of the winders have come from same AD and have been gifted with purchases or significantly discounted as a thanks for the business. This is why I still like smaller town ADs who you can really get to know and build a relationship with. They did build out the “Rolex display” as they were told to (for about 175k), and it has spaces in the display for 80 watches. They currently have 25 total. 20 of them are datejusts or day dates. 1 rose gold chocolate Daytona, a milgauss GV, an Airking, a gold cerachrome yachtmaster, and a cellini moonphase. That’s it. It’s been slim pickings lately for sports models, like everywhere else.

But at least they know how to treat loyal customers.

Holy Watch Winders Batman.

Brad, that is an epic collection and glad your AD really takes care of you. Looks like you don’t have any open winder spots.....maybe need to fix that with another watch or two!

I think we've just identified the cause of the global shortage ! (-:)

Congrats on the collection.

I feel for these ADs. If I had just spent $175k on a new display and was only provided stock to fill a little over a quarter of it, I'd be getting twitchy! I assume it works for them or they wouldn't do it, but it sure looks weird.

Holy cow! What a set up!!!!

Please tell me there is a safe door to this!!!

That is a small AD, but looks like you have it right. My local AD has about 125 watches in stock at any given time. Surprisingly they move a bunch of datejusts to the “average wealthy”.

Looking top-notch!

A question to you with displays and winders, do you leave all watches out if you have staff like cleaners or handyman at your place?

Watches stay out, but of course precautions are taken. Everything is insured for one. Our Nanny is here all day and has been with us for several years and has our complete trust. The lady who cleans for us a couple of times a week has been with us for 10 years and has my complete trust too. She’ll even dust/clean the winders etc. There is a large safe built into in the same closet and if we are leaving town or leaving the house unoccupied the watches go in the safe.
