The Rolex Vault...

There must be an amazing vault in Geneva. Temperature, humidity and light controled where all references ever made have been stored. Talk about kid in a candy store. I think it would be so fun to see - NOS versions of all of the classics.

What do you think? Does this vault exist? What would you most like to see?

I'd love to see just a large quantity of Rolexs. Lots of ADs I've been to only have, maybe 25, watches on display. I'd love to see just oceans of YMs, DJs, and GMTs writhing in an orgy of platinum, 18k, and SS. Little hands spinning around and a gentle hum of mechanical movements. MMMMmmmm

I've seen many times oceans of Rolex at bigger AD's.....personally a Rolex presented like that feels a lot like a Swatch. I like smaller,more intimate AD's displays actually..

The best cache of Rolex, hands down, is the Wynn Rolex Store at the Wynn Hotel in Las Vegas. South Coast Plaza rolex store is second in my book. Both offer tremendous collections. It's ROLEX overload!! I came out of the store, slightly desensitized to Rolex..LOL.
