Beverly Hills service center?

I know the Beverly Hills RSC closed several months ago (I later had to send my YM to the Dallas RSC for service) but...last week I drove past the building (located on Wilshire Boulevard), and noticed that the Rolex logo was still on the building's western face. I didn't have time to get close to it to see what was going on inside of the building.

I presume with the closing of the RSC that the ground-floor Rolex office suite is vacant...but is that correct? Has anyone here been by recently to verify that?

Does Rolex own the building, and just closed its RSC? Does the logo on the building suggest that Rolex hopes to re-open the RSC?

Can you reach the logo on the building with a ladder!?

It would look good in the man cave!

Just because they closed the service center, does that mean they closed the whole office? It wouldn't surprise me if they kept sales/marketing offices there to service the West Coast.

The large "Rolex" logo is also on the west-facing side of the building, towards the top of the building.

So, what's inside? I would check, but that means I would have to park my car, and walk.
