ADs in San Diego area

My wife and I will be in San Diego later this week. According to Rolex.com there is a Ben Bridge and a Rolex Boutique in that area. Any recommendations on which one to visit? Just for looking, not buying.

As a 20 year former Rolex specialist at an AD, it will be interesting revisiting the brand after a 7 year absence.

The Boutique is Fourtane… both will be tuff, but you might have better luck with Fourtane. Either way, both are inundated daily with people asking for steel Subs, GMTs and Daytonas.

San Diego has a decent AD, but nothing special. But, if you have an extra half day to spare during your trip, make the 1.5 hour drive up North to South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa. Besides Rolex, all the big brands have boutiques there. (Patek, Lange, VC, JLC, Tudor, AP, Omega, more…)

well worth the time if you’re into checking out watches.

Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately I got really sick once we got to San Diego and I was stuck in our hotel the entire time we were there.

Yes, Fourtane in Fashion Valley. Tudor just opened a boutique in that mall as well

Hopefully the room was nice and room service food good.
