Visited Rolex Boutique at the Wynn Las Vegas - Reporting in

[envuks]

As the title says, I recently visited the Rolex boutique at the Wynn in Las Vegas…

Display model inventory was heavy. Just about all the SS pieces on display except the white SS Daytona. All Daytonas were the outgoing models. The clerk stated they had not seen any of the new model Daytonas yet when I asked.

I didn’t see any 2023 releases on display.

They had many many watches in the boutique which surprised me.

I do have to admit, the store experience made me feel moderate hatred for the brand. Store staff were all dressed in nice suits, not talkative, and made me feel as if I didn’t belong in the store.

I was dressed in jeans, sneakers, a sweater hoodie, and a baseball cap. Wearing my 116500 on oysterflex which I didn’t reveal from under my sleeve as the opportunity didn’t present itself. I do have a mullet, so perhaps that was a factor in my treatment.

When I asked questions, I was met with short answers, and the clerks walked away from me as I wandered through the store. I was thinking about saying “you guys want to show me some watches or do you just prefer standing around?” But decided it just wasn’t worth it.

I have been on a two week road trip from Oregon to Colorado wearing my Daytona daily as it should be. Done a bunch of camping and outdoor activities. Things that to me embody the (old) Rolex brand.

In contrast, the Watches of Switzerland store next door (which also operates the Rolex boutique) had staff that were talkative and followed me around the store as I browsed chatting (as I’m used to in watch stores). That’s a nice store.

Nothing new here, but figured that’s I’d share.

And PS, off topic: after visiting the stores I turned $200 into $3377 on a craps table in less than 45 minutes. My friends were joking that maybe now the people at the Rolex store would talk to me. The table was laughing at that. Fun times.
