I wonder if anybody here feels the same way

Everytime I visit a new watch store the very first thing I want to know is if they sell Rolex. If they don't, I feel like there is something missing there. How about you guys?

I appreciate the store more if they have Rolex amongst their lineup, but if they have other nice brands, I still peruse!

Every time that I go to a large town or city. I have to find the AD.
Once I have done that, then I usually get bored with any further shopping!!!!

I am the same way. I lose interest quickly if the store doesn't carry Rolex.

Funny you said that! We have a Watches of Switzerland here (doesn't carry Rolex) and a second hand dealer (he's got a few Rolexes) at the same building. I always turn into the second hand dealer path instead of turning the corner past WOS.

I like to see Rolex watches in the cases. If I don't I make a quick walkabout and leave quickly. Why dawdle around looking at things that don't interest me? It wastes my time and theirs.

Well, not I.

Although Rolex watches are my preferred brand, I love watches in general and would not refrain from visiting a watch store just because it does not stock Rolex. There are so many other nice brands out there.....Patek, VC, AP, Blancpain, PAM, Omega, etc., etc.
