Hmmm...New Rolex Boutique in NYC???
While walking down 5th this morning I saw this.
Wonder if Wempe is moving their entire store to the Rolex building or just their Rolex products. |

I use pliers to get my crown in the right position. Hate when my crown is upside down...but REAL hard to fix. Easier when it is just a little off center on some watches.

That is pretty cool to have an actual Rolex boutique in the Rolex building! Shop when you drop off your watch for servicing!

The AD at the Tourneau Rolex boutique on Madison and 50-whatever it was told me they had the largest selection of Rolex's in the city, I was kind of surprised actually.

A. Don't not need to pay rent if Wempe is simply running the store. Or B. Will collect rent in a store that also sells their product. Sounds like a win, win for Rolex. |

Wempe is an AD just like any other and they will pay rent and buy and sell only Rolex watches at that location.
Rolex is not in the retail business. |

For those who have any interest, I spoke to Mr. Ruediger Albers on Friday and he pointed that the Wempe Rolex boutique will open mid-February 2012. My thoughts are NYC is going to see some radical changes in the price game for Rolex timepiece both new and on the secondary markets.
