SS models in Boston

Hi fellow Bostonians. I was at an AD in the Prudential yesterday and they had a Deep Sea, black dial, SS GMT Master 11 black bezel, Explorer 11 Polar 42nn, 2 Milgauss, Air King, Yachtmaster 11, and a Yachtmaster blue dial if anyone is interested. I popped into two other AD's on Saturday and they had ZERO SS. Hope this helps anyone out there looking.

Thank you! The Deep Sea is not hard to get and most AD's have no one on the list. To read that they have (had?) a SS GMT black and an Explorer Polar is really great news.

Thank you for letting us know. Did you see these at Sidney Thomas?

Long's Jewelers in Burlington has two Explorer 2's (one black one white) an Explorer, several Migauss, an Air King, a two tone GMT Master 2, several Yachtmasters and several two tone Daytona's. Ask for Radwan he's the best.

I was there 2 weeks ago and they only had a Yachtmaster blue and a Playtona.

They must have gotten another shipment in. I was there yesterday and was surprised.

Yep I was too and the sales kid was an absolute dick to me for no reason. I wanted to try on a 116655 and he was too busy helping a couple try on datejusts and bragging about how they sell for over sticker because they’re so hard to get.

Walked out , won’t go back

Sidney Thomas at the Pru is probably the worst AD in Boston area. Everytime I walk in there they are nothing but rude and uninterested. Tourneau down the hall is much better and that’s saying a lot.

I cant for the life of me buy something from Sydney Thomas in any of their locations... majority of their staff have no idea what they are talking about... and sometimes they make up stuff to push the item for unsuspecting cusyomers


Im with NYG on tourneau in Boston. I like those guys.

Good selection nowadays. I'm sure someone here will take advantage of it.

I hear what you're saying. They've always been rude when I've visited the store. The staff at Tourneau is nicer but the watches they sell don't come with original box and papers, it's crazy

I have noticed some Rolex ADs have become rude and arrogant...just like the brand!

I think part of this is frustration by the sales staff having little to no inventory!

+ 1

It's amazing how different each AD can be. Some are so stuffy and just want to get you out the door because they don't have what you want and then others can be wonderful!!!!

The Sales Reps in Sydney Thomas have always been downright rude to me whenever I've gone in there - with or without inventory. I wouldn't give them my business if they were the only people selling Rolex on the East Coast.

I'd rather take my business to Long's or European Watch Co. any day of the week.

Tourneau is now an official Rolex AD so not an issue anymore. I am 100% with Long’s
