Last week I was at the Louvre for the first time in many years. After I re-visited Mona Lisa (she hasn't aged a day) I was leaving and a Rolex sign caught my eye. I was totally amazed at this - there was a Rolex AD inside the Louvre. Ever hopeful for a walk-in Submariner (

) I went in to say hello - only SS in stock was a 36mm OP with a silver dial, and when I was asked what I was looking for I said I'd love to get my hands on a Sub, and the sales person replied, "so would I!".

Got me thinking - any other "strange" places you've seen an AD?*

*I realise it isn't that strange given the foot traffic through the Louvre - but still!

Mappin & Webb have an outlet selling Rolex in The Gleneagles Hotel, Perthshire, Scotland.

My local high end shopping mall where they have no stock to display to support their business

Not quite the same - but I visited the Rolex AD in the Hilton on Orchard Road in Singapore three or so weeks back. A decent sized Boutique (three staff) who I imagine has a repeat high-end business clientele base that stays in the hotel. I think they had an Air King in stock - or possibly a Milgauss (they all blend into one another after a while).

My AD is a little gem in a shopping plaza sandwiched by a dry-cleaner and a bodega.

A really yucky AD in Nairobi, Kenya! I wish I had taken a pic.

Yeah, that would have been cool to see!

The shopping mall ones are also interesting - I imagine they would benefit from the foot traffic also!
