Nothing new here. Same story different location.

Quick day trip to Bellevue on Friday for a golf club fitting. Stopped by Alvin Goldfarb's Rolex AD for a service estimate. Had a nice conversation with one of the staff. He has been there as long as I can remember 30 years ish.

They actually had a decent selection of professional models, but like all other threads we see, limited on the big 3 (Sub, Daytona, GMT in SS). He just reinforced what we already know, demand is up and they cannot fill it. He says he gets calls from all over the US, but they have a policy to only sell locally. He also said, he has never seen anything like this. Enjoyable visit.

FYI, it was really hard to walk out without the 116618LB.

Not bad at all! I've seen a lot of AD's as of late with the SS YMII, must not be selling like it once was?

Very nice selection. Reminds me of Mecurio Joyeros in Panama City, Panama.

Thanks for the post. I'm surprised they even had a bluesy and a blackie. Even much larger ADs don't have these in stock most of the time.

Goldfarb is great. I got my SD4K from them!

When I walk into my local AD and see a SS Black sub and gmt LN I’m almost tempted to buy them but then I realize I already have an LV and TT gmt and this is all part of their strategy. Stay strong!

Nice update Mark. Maybe there is hope out there for more supply. 🤦🏼*♂️

Maybe I'm spoiled by some ADs but this doesn't surprise me at all. Nice selection but exactly as expected. PMs, Two-tones, less popular Mill..

Honestly, the only thing that catches my eye is the explorer there.
