5 within a 30-40 minute commute.

bdex75 · 25 April 2016, 01:53 AM

3 hours and 17 minutes by car, depending on traffic. There are several closer but while traveling for work several years ago I came across my AD. The watch manager there was the first person at an AD that treated me like a human.

It has worked out well for both of us.

Mine is about a 10 minute drive.

Too close.

Robrob777 · 25 April 2016, 03:41 AM

Walking distance.

jschmidtdmd · 25 April 2016, 06:14 AM

We have a couple in Denver. That being said, I give all my business to DavidSW when I can.

kamonjj · 25 April 2016, 07:18 AM

Wow, that's quite a distance. Where in Washington State do you live? There used to be an AD two-miles away from me but they lost their AD status. Now I have to go to South Center (1.5 hrs.) to browse.

I am in Yakima. Moved from Seattle in 1997. If I want to look at new stuff, I usually go to Goldfarb's in Bellevue. They have a good selection.
In the 80's, 90's and into 2000's I had a private guy with a small shop in Seattle. He had a parts account and could get anything. He was a great guy but retired when Rolex started changing their policies. Last few watches I have bought from dealers here or vintage collectors I know.

MovieGuy · 25 April 2016, 10:46 AM

Mine's about 3 miles away. I usually spend a little over 40 hours a week there, working.

jrs146 · 25 April 2016, 10:52 AM

About 15 minutes away. Sometimes too close, sometimes too far.

3 miles. Visit AD's primarily while traveling, however. When I visit the locals, it usually to buy.

AlexMachine · 25 April 2016, 02:14 PM

3,5 km from home, 1 km from my office. I walk by it weekly and check their window display.

Ruud Van Driver · 25 April 2016, 02:27 PM

One is 20 minutes on the bus (none in Singapore are more than 40 minutes on a good day) and one is 13 hours on a plane and another three hours by car

HogwldFLTR · 25 April 2016, 02:43 PM

Two within a half hour, a bunch more within and hours drive.
