Hi everyone!

First, very grateful for TRF and members' knowledge, advice, support, and appreciation of watches.

So wife and I visit an unrelated store at South Coast Plaza mall in Orange County California.

We suddenly encounter watch heaven: Rolex store with huge selection, never before saw this number of Rollies in one place! Below are two photos of what they have (had) displayed in window on July 13th. No discounts for anything there. We tried on a few to plan for future additions (42 mm white Explorer was very nice, Milgauss was so so).

In close proximity there are following boutiques: PP, IWC, VC, Omega. JLC, Cartier and others. It was an eye-popping experience to be there.
Thank you for reading.

Just adding a photo of our two watches.

Sorry, but I don't get the "Rollies' lingo and as soon as I see that I quit reading.

Tim, that was written to avoid saying identical words in same sentence, a grammatical device.

Good call. Had you used "Rolex" twice in the same sentence, I would have blasted you for the redundancy, being the grammar geek that I am.

Looks like a great store! And I love your GMT. Good to see that I'm not the only one who uses the black leather iPad cover as a surface for watch photos!

Hairdude1 · 21 July 2013, 02:19 PM

Nice

kings4sap · 21 July 2013, 03:32 PM

Great store for looking and trying on - not for buying. No discounts and crappy trade-in allowance.

tut tut starting a sentence with the word And. Ummm. I'm , should not that be I am in the context you have used?
...just kidding but that is bad grammer if you are being picky

( we all do it...its called modernity I believe)

Now...what was the OP all about?

Racerdj · 22 July 2013, 02:44 AM
