Any Rolex ADs in the US that also sell David Yurman?

I have a good “relationship” with my local David Yurman boutique. I.e. I have bought tons of stuff for my wife there. Unfortunately for me, they do not sell Rolex!

Can anyone recommend a Rolex AD in the US that also sells David Yurman? My intentions of course are to move my Yurman business to an AD in hopes of getting access to Rolex pieces.

There's a few in the Philadelphia/South Jersey area (Benari, Bernie Robbins...). Quick google search should uncover some in your area.

London Jewelers on Long Island has both...spending has to be real big to stand out there though. I don't think any Rolex AD will ship watches to new clients at this point so you would likely have to go in person.

Liljenquist and Beckstead Montgomery Mall. DC area. But like the previous poster says they probably won't ship. There's a big push to sale to local repeat clients only.

Thanks for the info! I am in Arizona, so not a terribly long flight if they are not willing to ship (which it sounds like is common now)

I feel like it’s a very common co-carry.

You’re going to get on an airplane, put up with all the parking, crowds, security BS, fly to some city, pitch your plan to a SA, who then tells their boss to write your name on a list in disappearing ink? Then your go back to the airport, put up with the afternoon version of the morning BS, hope every thing does smoothly? Then you go back in a few weeks, buy a dozen donuts, chew the fat, move up from #274 on the list for a Daytona to #273, only when you purchase some Yurman earrings or a gold and silver cable bracelet. How long do you think this will go on before you come to your senses?

Wow…all for a f’ing watch.
Not quite but partially yes. The jewelery for my wife I already buy over the phone and then just pick up locally. I would just move that business to an AD and ask them to ship it to me instead. It would actually be more convinient anyway. Then after a year or two if they offer a watch and aren’t willing to ship it, sure, I’ll hop on a plane!

These days, AD’s have their local priority customers. They are deluged with calls from out of state, different time zones, pleas for watches, promises to buy, fundraisers for the most heartbreaking causes.

I’ve been dealing with my AD for years, he has so much demand from local customers, local walk ins, he doesn’t require any collateral purchases, it’s all based on long-standing local customer relationships. Your plan wouldn’t have a chance with him.

Let me correct that, more like Jim Carrey’s Lloyd Christmas “so you’re telling me there’s a chance!”

Good luck

Thanks for the data point. My local AD is the same way, and they are good about getting me the watches I ask for, but only every so often and usually not more than 1 per year.

I’m spending this money on the jewelry every Christmas anyway, so I’d rather give it to an AD where I may be able to get additional pieces in the future. If it doesn’t work out that’s ok. But not every AD is the same, and not every customer is treated the same. I’ve found that being friendly, positive, and personal — not negative and poo-pooing everything — goes a long way and generally works out for me.

This. My AD is a Boutique but almost every Rolex dealer/jewelry store I’ve ever visited has David Yurman. Surprised no AD’s in your area carry it.
As to your idea of a long distance relationship for jewelry/watches I don’t think your chances are good. As others have said they have plenty of local customers. You would have to spend a LOT on Yurman to even get their attention.

Yes, they do. Fantastic AD for sure. Not sure it helps OP based on where he’s located though.
