Lucky you !
Please post some pictures!
Was there years ago, and sure would like to go back.
I have no idea about Rolex shops, but I do hope you have a great time.
Walking through history, it is really incredible.

No advice on watch shops.

Restaurant recommendation - Fuoco Matto and the bistecca alla florentina. Hard to beat.

I was in Florence in September and stock was sparse, i ended up purchasing a SubC in the city of Froli, dealer was riccic. They had a BLNR and a hulk, but i'm sure they gone by now, i would call them to see what they have, and speaking italian would be very helpful

We have two Rolex AD's in Florence, "Fani" in Via Tornabuoni and "Cassetti" at the Ponte Vecchio where you can also find other watch brands like "Tudor", "Breitling", "Zenith", "Patek", "Audemars", "Vacheron", "Hublot" and some vintage watches. "Omega" in Via Tornabuoni, "Panerai" in Piazza Duomo and "Patek" in Via Por Santa Maria just before Ponte Vecchio. All just a few minutes walk from each other. Hope you find what you're looking for and enjoy Florence.
