My AD was murdered yesterday in New Orleans. Patrick Murphy was a great guy, I first met him years ago when he let me put my Submariner on lay away for a longer time period than they usually do at his store.

He sourced numerous diamonds for me when I was shopping for Holly’s engagement ring and then guided me through the process, her ring was made in house by Murphy’s. I’ll never forget him putting five diamonds on the counter, placing them into little wire holders, he’s explaining things to me about them when he says that the light in here doesn’t do them justice so outside we go, on the sidewalk in front of the store with 70K worth of diamonds between his fingers, one very trusting man.
He personally engraved both of our wedding bands.

Anytime I went in he was eager to talk watches, he wore a gorgeous white dialed DD.

We were in last week to have my wife’s rings polished and the woman at the counter put the newest issue of Rolex magazine on the counter and said Tim, this is a gift from Patrick.

Details are coming out about how this occurred but no matter how this happened the world lost a great man. RIP Patrick.

Whoa, sorry to hear of this terrible loss. From what was written he was quite accomplished. I hope they catch who did this hand out the maximum penalty. Horrible.

I have a guy locally who I feel very much the same way about. Can't imagine how it would feel to know he died so tragically. Very sorry, Tim. I hope the perp fully gets the wrath of karma.

RIP, Mr. Murphy.

I was hoping this thread was just a bad choice of words for an AD losing its Rolex license.

Sorry to hear about your friend.

Oh my goodness given the number of ADs getting cut I presumed you meant Rolex revoked their account. Then I thought to myself why would Tim throw that word around. Sorry to hear of this news Tim. We can all hope they catch who is responsible.

He was a nice man. He went to bat for me on a RSC service issue and I didn't even buy my watch there.
