That’s crazy! What AD were you at? I was there in November at the Rolex Boutique attached to Aria and they had nothing. And there were some long time clients of theirs in there and nothing available to buy. Nice work!

Figured I’d stop by anyway and have a chat. Went in and tried on a handful of GMT’s and Subs. Decided I liked the Submariner the best and was offered one on the spot. Couldn’t believe it!

I asked the store to keep it in their safe for me for a few days as i don’t like leaving valuables in my hotel room. It’s been paid for and is ready for me to pick up before i leave. Will post pics in a couple days!

Hi Eric:

Congratulations.

Did you purchased the watch at the Boutique at the Forum shops?

My wife and I were at the store on Saturday and I notice a guy wearing a Green Bezel Sub while making a purchase and I said nice watch as I was wearing mind as well and the guy said thank you, not sure if that was you.

My wife, who is left handed, is looking for the VTNR which she tried on and the salesperson said try your own AD (which did not have one at the time to try on) which I knew the salesperson would say but but did ask for my info as I frequent Vegas a lot on business.

The salesperson did say they have sold some hard to get pieces like the sub lv with no purchased history before with the great many tourist stopping by.
