Recent AD visit, 6/22

So I finally made an appt to formally visit an AD with intent to buy. Really want to build a relationship towards getting a 5712.

Anyway we walk over the the Rolex cases and they are stocked full. Dozens of yachtmasters, op's, datejust 41's. Handful of DD40s, cellini's, daytona's.
Everose gold Rootbeer. YG bluesey. Black dial gold sub. TT bluesey. TT seadweller.

No, there were no batmans, kermits, hulks, pepsi's, black or panda daytonas, or even regular subs.

Also a large number (maybe 30) patek's. But again, no nautilus or even aquanauts in sight, or within the near future (for me at least)

Just thought I'd share in case anyone is interested. Laura seems to be the Rolex lady there. No, I didn't buy anything but I sure was tempted. Wanted to share what I saw though. They are happy to provide pictures upon request but someone would need to walk in to purchase. I could possibly help a Rolex bro/sis out with that.

Does Kern's have a separate entrance Rolex Boutique or are the Rolex inventory display cases next to the store's other brand merchandise ?
