AD - South Coast Plaza Rolex (Orange County, CA)

Hello Rolex Forums,

I am considering purchasing a watch from an AD, South Coast Plaza Rolex in Orange County, CA.

I was wondering if anyone had experience with this dealer.

If so, is there any latitude in bargaining or negotiating price? Of course, the price seems higher.

From Yelp.com, it says that this is the only flagship Rolex store in the U.S. (not sure how true this is).

Thanks for your help.

Dude,

It depends on which watch you want.

I would highly recommend you take a drive down to SD and pick up a used one from Tony (aka justrolexes).

NO experience at this location however if this is truely a "flagship" and a Rolex store rather than an AD, you can forget about discounts...

In my experience the smaller the AD the easier to build a strong and lasting relationship as well as a much better discount

X2, Tony is tops and so are numerous other great sellers right here on TRF... Forget the drive, they will deliver right to your home

The Rolex Store in South Coast Plaza is a Great place to find one of the largest selection of Rolexes. They have a great friendly associates
as for the prices it is close to impossible to get a discount...But sure it's a candy shop

I can guarantee you're not getting a discount on one of those!
PM Tony and thank me later...

Agree with everyone here about Tony, (JustRolexes), you will DEFINITELY get quality merchandise at the best price around. If you absolutely prefer purchasing from an AD, PM me, I can set you up at the one I bought my Daytona at (Ben Bridge in San Diego). The sales lady has gotten some discounts for TRF members.

Whichever route you go, best of luck and don't forget to post pics!!!!!

Rolex AD at South Coast Plaza is a great shop where you can find almost all the Rolex production, but forget discounts ...

Ciao

I believe the Rolex store at South Coast Plaza is owned and operated by Tourneau Jewelry. Good selection of watches. If you like one, I say "buy it".

Barron and Leeds owns the Rolex Store in South Coast Plaza, not Tourneau. Their Manager is Mehrdad, and he and his staff are quite friendly and knowledgeable.
