Worth while to pop into some smaller AD's? Upcoming Roadtrip from Florida To Tennesse

I will be traveling from southwest florida to Gatlinburg Tennessee. The route is mostly I75 in northern florida, macon georgia, and then potentially drive up to knoxville if its worth it. If any of these AD's are worth a stop I'd appreciate the feedback. Not sure if these are the smaller market AD's people talk about. I'm looking to potentially buy a Rose Gold piece of some sort (probably Rose Daytona) and try and work in one of the harder to acquire SS models as well. Only asking because I only really care or have time to stop by 1 or 2 if they are pretty directly on my route, and hoping to catch lightning in a bottle to really put the cherry on top of the vacation

It never hurts to stop in and inquire but don’t get your hopes up. The hot pieces will most certainly be held in the safe for locals and VIPs. I even had a AD in Michigan refuse to sell me a datejust sitting in the case because I didn’t have a Michigan driver’s license.
Good luck
