Vancouver/Alaska stores
Heading to Vancouver then on to an Alaskan cruise upcoming. Any stores recommended to visit, knowing things remain limited but look everywhere I travel. Cheers

And about a 10 minute walk from there is the Rolex Boutique. Selection is very very limited here. What are you looking for? We have a high end demographic here that buys everything.... Enjoy the super cars... |

Pretty sure Ben Bridge in ANC is the only Alaskan Rolex AD. I'm from AK, so I can tell you that the watch game is weak in that state and while I haven't purchased from BB in ANC, I'm pretty sure it's as dry as any Alaskan store can be.

I was in Vancouver two days ago and stopped in at both the boutique on Alberni and Palladio.
They had every SS model in the catalog. Not. |

At this point, you'll be lucky to find anything other than a Datejust in Vancouver.
Less than 2 years ago, I was getting calls from Montecristo for Hulks, SD43s, etc. Now, I can't even get a Submariner if I tried. Spend your time enjoying the sights, as Rolex shopping in this city (and all cities at this point) is nothing more than an exercise in futility at this point.

Check out Fly Over Canada while you are here. It’s an amazing exhibit and will not let you down.

Vancouver is a very affluent city. I can't imagine there being anything in the cases there haha
Good luck! Let us know what you (don't) find |

Are you heading on the celebrity cruise leaving the 28th from Vancouver going to Alaska? In terms of stores here in Vancouver it’s pretty dry. You can check out Palladio, Lugaro, Monte Christo is the Rolex boutique but I don’t think you’ll find much. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

When I was in Victoria (BC) during my cruise last year, I talked to whatever AD there. They laughed at face and said "Rolex SS sports models are not available for walk-in customers"

Vancouver's stock is completely dry. The only odd chance is a Milgauss. Even a TT/PM sport models are hard to come by. But feel free to check out The Rolex Boutique on Alberni or Palladio if you are in downtown.
Also on Alberni are the various boutique such as Vacheron, IWC, Patek (actually one street over), etc. Always fun to browse. Would probably keep the family happy as well as the main Robson shopping street is beside it. |

Thanks for all the responses, figured it would be the same as here but always try every Rolex store when traveling.
I appreciate all the recommendations, Vancouver is beautiful and look forward to being back in that town. Going on Holland America, not celebrity. Thanks again Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

I know 5 other of my friends wanting to buy the sub and all sold out in Vancouver for at least 2-3yrs wait. So weird all of a sudden everyone wants a SUB or GMT. Such high in demand right now. I told my sales lady I’ll buy 3 Rolex off you and she rejected my offer lol.
