Lucky in Las Vegas!
Can’t really believe this happened but I scored a Submariner as a walk in customer yesterday at a Rolex boutique in Las Vegas. I emailed the store a few months ago to inquire about a few different models and received a very nice and professional email as a response, but didn’t really think it’d go anywhere. Figured I’d stop by anyway and have a chat. Went in and tried on a handful of GMT’s and Subs. Decided I liked the Submariner the best and was offered one on the spot. Couldn’t believe it!
I asked the store to keep it in their safe for me for a few days as i don’t like leaving valuables in my hotel room. It’s been paid for and is ready for me to pick up before i leave. Will post pics in a couple days!

That's a good pick up. Vegas AD's probably have a different approach to selling watches - maybe they don't need to factor the preference some have for selling to locals only as its a visitors town.

Lots of subs floating around now… I think ADs has a handful in the back room these days.

Awesome !
Vacation acquisitions are the most exciting. Great choice on the classic Submariner. Symmetrical dial and case profile is aesthetically superior to the date models. No collection should be without one. Wrist shot ! |

I think this is right. I recently picked up a 126610 at an AD. Stopped in on a Thursday to reiterate my interest to the SA I had been chatting with for about 2 months and the next morning I got a call indicating a 126610 just “became available.” When I picked up the watch, I asked if a shipment had arrived overnight and I got the same canned “just became available” response. Makes me think the store director is sitting on inventory and controls the amount that is released to the public.

Did you flip the Starbucks you won? Not judging, just curious.
I think I saw a picture you had wearing an LN Sub as well. |
