Best Rolex Selection currently at an AD?

[konkaniman]

I was at Gandelman in Aruba last week. They are the only Rolex AD in Aruba and right by the cruise terminals which are closed due to Covid, so maybe why they have such a good selection. Mostly 36mm and smaller. But a few precious metal and two tone men's as you can see in the pictures. They had more selection, but these are the only 2 pics I have. Wife picked up a nice OP34mm. It was great for her to see multiple sizes and colors to make a decision.

That's more than every AD combined in my area.

if that was a new 41 mm gold sub i would have bought it.

Well, that's nice to see. Hearkens back to the old days when you could actually see a selection of Rolex on display and it was worthwhile visiting your AD for the experience. Glad you had a good visit there. Hope your wife enjoys her OP34 in good health. Cheers!

It was a 41mm, and probably is still there. The black/gold was 40mm. I didn't buy because I have a 116618lb.

Already regretting not picking up the platinum dd40 though

My AD is literally empty

Go to Miami design district. Was there last weekend and was a joke. They asked if I had an appointment. I said no. They let me in and the only watch in whole store including all the window displays was ugly blinged out woman date just. I’m sure some were in the safe but thatlooks embarrassing.

They also have a location at the Hyatt that has been closed since Covid started. They probably moved all the inventory to the Renaissance location.

Visited AD where I got my Sub41 date last week in Miami City Center at Brickell. They had 5 watches in case, all TT or PM women’s models. AP boutique nearby had no stock either. Last year both had relatively full cases (not hot models, but full). I think all the brands are buying into the artificial shortage scheme.

LOL, sad but true here too in CA

I was in Turks and Caicos a couple weeks back and stopped in the only AD there. I was was surprised to see such an extensive offering, similar to the photo you posted but a little smaller selection.

[Francist]

That’s more than most ADs combined together.
Was getting my wife a bday present, went in and the only men’s watch on display was DJ41 SS MOP diamond. No DD, no SkyD, nothing else. Just that 1. Crazy.
Even Ladies’ 31MM aubergine & green dials are now trading above retail.
Asked my AD if I were to order for my wife how long will they get me.
He said months, as if I can postpone her birthday.
So I just got the silver dial, equally awesome (they have this gold layering on the dial, pretty neat).

Visited my AD today. They had one black dial Cellini in front window display... that's it. All other display cases and windows were empty. That's a lot of unproductive retail space.

Boca Raton was pretty much the same story with one or two lady DJ.

[Ed99]

Oh wow there is a all yellow gold Blusey sub. I would of picked that one up. You can’t find that one in any of the ADs here.

Yep. We stopped at mayors town center in boca. Empty for sure. Ap downtown had 3 watches but all divers.

[ervelo]

wow! this is what my AD looked like in 2019

[garyk]

Looks like AD cases from days gone by....

[thenewrick]

My AD had about half that many but it's a smaller store. They offered me a black dial 2-tone Daytona, Rootbeer GMT, Blue Dial Milgauss, and any number of DJ's and DDs with no purchase history. They told me white dial Daytona's in steel were pretty much unobtainium.

Sounds like big cities is where we're seeing the most draught. I'm thankful I don't like the most popular references!

[turkeysub93]

Color me shocked

[krotondo]

Love Aruba, go every year! Booked for June this year.. better believe ill be visiting Gandelman's multiple times

[Fleetlord]

Great selection for the general public to choose from!

[Cagwolf]

Great collection all round, thanks for sharing.

[Marcjvr]

If that is what’s in their case, I can only imagine what is in their safe...
