Nearest AD is a couple of blocks away, I can walk there in about four minutes. But my preferred Rolex dealer is just a text message away.

Tysons? If you're in DC, that could be anywhere from 20 minutes to 2 hours away, depending on the time of day!

My Tudor AD is 20 min away, and my favorite Rolex AD is approximately the same, but there are a number in my area. Good problems to have!

I live in Midtown Manhattan, and have Wempe, 2 Tourneaus, and the Rolex store within walking distance.

There's also the IWC, Breitling, Omega, Panerai, JLC, Hublot, AP, Tissot and more around here :(

Over at Time Square, there's another Tissot, Fossil, Swatch, Citizen and Invicta

The Rolex Boutique on Fifth Avenue is about thirty minutes from home, door to door.

two are about 8 miles the other about 15 miles. None discount so I just browse and listen to the "you should buy now Rolex is about to raise prices....." sales pitch.

Tiny Jewel Box is a great store and definitely respected, I just find that their inventory is lacking relative to what you can find in Tysons

Ah, great store. There's a gent named Steven who sells Rolex there who is very knowledgable. He used to work with my ex-wife at Tiffany, so I've known him awhile, and he's a good guy. 👍

Are there really 70 ADs in the HK area? When I was there visiting it seemed like there was one every block in Causeway Bay and Kowloon.
