680 Rolex Watches for Sale!!!

That is the number of watches in stock at the new Rolex Boutique on Fifth Avenue right at the street level of the Rolex building. Impressive in my opinion!!!

Is it managed by Tourneau or Rolex directly?

At $8k each that's $5.44mil.

A very conservative estimate.

It was fun visiting it when I was in NYC a few weeks back. All those watches yet they didn't have the one I wanted to try on...

While there was eaily 100-200 watches on display I'm not sure how they came up with the 600-number.

Impressive! I wonder if they had the so-called 'hard to get' SS Daytonas readily on display there?

...so don't let them tell you that the model you are interested in is 'rare' or
'difficult to get'...

Do you think they have some SubC 116610LN in stock? Or will they always be sold out?
