check out the "who's who" section in the classifieds area, there you can look and search for AD or trusted dealers/

Nope they all suck and unless you are a VIP will relatively treat you like a second rate citizen because of the amount of VIP customers with lots of money.

I have had ok luck but selection is limited and any hard to find watch will be "in the back" for those VIP's at the Rolex AD in South Coast Plaza.

When you say good. What do you mean? Nice selection? Amount of discounts will be given? Friendly Staff = Good discounts?

I've purchased 8 Rolexes over the last 2 years from the Rolex AD in South Coast Plaza and evertime it's been a great experience. The sales associates have been very kind and helpful. I'm not a VIP by any means but was treated like one at this location.

I went to the one in Walnut in September and they treated me well. It was very nice inside.

They let me try on the 116506 also without issue. Wow what a watch.

Eight Rolexes in two years is an average of one every three months. If that don't sound like a VIP I don't know what does.

I collect Rolexes and have a few Tags in my collection. I've had friends who have also purchased at this location and experienced the same treatment on there first visit.

If it has to be an AD I would go with Traditional Jewelers in Newport Beach
