I live close to Dallas, I wonder if the RSC will give you tours or anything...?

GBJIV · 1 March 2009, 01:23 PM

I doubt it. Due to the nature of the product there are probably many thousands of dollars laying around... The Beverly Hills RSC seems like a vault. I would bet that a tour would not be possible... Although, it would be very cool to see.

Let us know if I am wrong!

Wolfgang427 · 1 March 2009, 01:26 PM

None of the USA RSC's have a tour available, past or present.

i doubt it...but there was a thread here before showing some people on tour inside Rolex factory...

MrCowboy99 · 1 March 2009, 11:11 PM

no... you will be disappointed if you are even wanting to see a watch. Just eat the great chocolate and drop your watch off. That's all you get.

From what I understand, you can't get a tour anywhere, even in Geneva. The only people able to go on a tour are worldwide AD reps who come in to see new products and technologies.

One such lucky AD told me that in order to get in some rooms, you needed an iris-scan to unlock doors!!!!

The place is that tight!

I asked him if what you see on the Rolex website like the trays sliding down the rolling-belts and robotic hands handling these trays was true or just for show. He said no. What you see is fact!

He also added that in some cases, the tour was restricted to the AD's to just viewing the production through large glass windows.

i think we would all send our resumes in to Rolex... :)

So this means no road trip to Rolex in the near future!!!

dotcomakazee · 2 March 2009, 02:07 AM

No tours...but they are great. Drop off your watch and grab a Spirit magazine.

spirit magazine?

WatchTimes · 2 March 2009, 05:58 AM

Grab me one as well!
I have yet to get one :(

It's the Rolex magazine I think you can only get at the RSC and some AD's
I don't think we can subscribe to it or anything.

I really am trying to start collecting some Rolex items!

cool so I can get something if I go there, if I do I'll get one for you too

I was in RSC Dallas one day and there was no one behind the counter. There was a couple in their late 30's waiting around. I asked when the person was going to be back and they didn't know.

About 10 minutes later, the girl came out with at least 10+ different gem covered dials to show the women. She was upgrading her Rolex with a new dial.
There must have been 50k in dials there!

The Rolex girl was very nice and I learned a lot just from listening to her.

I think that was the closest thing to a "tour" that I will ever get.

Like this pic? Here it is...

I've toured the NY RSC about 6 years ago but, definitely not a public tour. It is VERY impressive with it's 100+ watch makers and multi-story 50"+ rotating watch elevator!

Don't ask...
