Ace of Diamonds

Ace of Diamonds is the business located today at 83 Hatton Garden where Hans Wilsdorf and Alfred Davis started their first business in London. Such quaint building ought to be bought and preserved by Rolex.

Yes. They could turn it into a nice Rolex museum. Seiko are good for having museums. Do Rolex do the same?

Rolex have a museum in Geneva.

Only one problem ... Its Private .. no visitors.

Next door is Patek Philippe ... They have a Museum in the centre of Geneva and that is open to the public and it is astounding. I am a very regular visitor.
