I'm surprised that not until today, Texas was mentioned? But yes, Dallas is Rolex heavy and the most variants of two toned DJ's!
Rolex hasn't earned the Texas Timex monicker for nothing right?

Where can you spot the most Rolexes in one place : Rolex Boutique, 5th Ave., NYC

LOL ! This place was amazing with 700+ Rolexes on display at one time.

This really sounds like Miami!

Also someone mentioned earlier, Disneyworld. I have seen a few there too, since we go almost every other month.

Probably any place that has a lot of "wealthier" people.

Personally, I've seen a lot of people wearing Rolex brand watches in Monaco, Cannes and believe it or not, I've actually seen more people wearing Rolex watches in Abu Dhabi then Dubai. Although Dubai probably takes the cake for most Rolex stores and jewellers that sell Rolex watches - I swear if you go to a jeweller there, there is probably going to be a few too many Rolex watches in every window.

on a side note. hk is getting to be an unstable economy with the widening gap bewteen classes.

Hong Kong is probably the Rolex consumer capital of the world. Not just people wearing Rolex but also the concentration of ADs.

Rolex values the Hong Kong market so much that it even pandered to Chinese superstitious sensibilities by changing the country code to the auspicious 888.

There are definitely plenty there. The wife and I are at the mountain house this weekend and spent the day in Highlands, NC yesterday. Unbelievable number of Rolex and other high end brands there. Not many TT Daytonas, though, as I caught quite a few glances at mine.
