Nashville TN AD’s

In Nashville on business and checked to see if there were any ADs close by and I couldn’t believe it but there are none in this city?! Crazy.

The last AD in the state of TN lost their status @ 6mos. ago. I believe I'm right in saying there are now zero in the whole state.

None. It’s sad, I would love to have one to visit and complain about empty cases.

There have been talks of a boutique coming eventually but haven’t seen anything coming to fruition. The last AD in Nashville still sells Tudor oddly enough, but Rolex pulled the plug on them selling Rolex brand directly. They do maintain a used inventory however. It’s Kings Jewelers over in the Green Hills area.

All other major cities in TN still have one but not Nashville oddly enough.

Not sure about Nashville but in Chattanooga there is a Rolex AD, Rone Regency. Great folks there!

Memphis has two AD's, Knoxville has one, none in Nashville according to Rolex's website. That seems unbelievable. Four Rolex AD's in Tennessee total.

Other than Chatt and Knox, surrounding Nashville you have AD's in:
Huntsville, AL
Atlanta,
Louisville, KY

Been meaning to stop in there next time I’m that way. Almost made it to the one in Knoxville the other day as my hotel was virtually right next to it, but had dinner instead and missed closing time by about 30 minutes. Looked like a nice place though.

It’s ridiculous there’s not one in the entire greater Nashville area. It’s a dead space on the Rolex dealer map.

I was in a Memphis AD this week. Very pleased. I picked up a new watch for myself. I travel around most of the right half of the US for business and stop by AD's when I get the chance. Never know what is waiting under the glass. Or in the safe

Talked to the Kings jeweler owner and they said that Rolex/Tudor wanted to be the only watch they sell. He refused and they pulled Rolex. He said that Rolex is opening up its own boutique in green hills mall. I take it with a grain of salt.

You missed nothing at the Knoxville AD. The entire façade is very nice. Their Rolex area... It is very small; like 2 small display cases. You guessed it, they are typically quite empty as well. They do have new as well as used Rolex watches in store. However, the new watches are allocated to customers before they make it to the display.

Right by the theater. Basically just on the right side of the walkway if you are walking to the theater from the mall. The far side closest to Crestmoor.

I was at Green Hills today. Diamond Cellar is in progress but it looks like it's at least a couple of months away.

Couple of days ago, I engaged the folks at Diamond Cellar, soon to be Rolex AD in BNA. Looking for Tudor BB58. I know..crazy, but thought during covid they might make a cash sale. GM from another Diamond Cellar called to discuss, asked casually if I was ever interested in Pateks. I'm not. Classic shake down for a bundled sale. Felt dirty n cheap. Called back the next day to let me know there were no BB58s. Evidently DC is finishing the build out of their Nashville Rolex boutique for empty cases + precious metals and cellinis.

Hmmm; never experienced anything like this with DC, and have known and done business with them for over a decade.

Must be an outlier. The Johnsons are a stand up family.

He was perfectly professional and courteous but it still fel like a shakedown or at best thinly guided assessment of my future spend potential. I’ve pretty much given up hope for a sports or steel dj41 new at MSRP.

Drove by the Rolex boutique in Green Hills yesterday. Building permit is still in the window, but it looks nearly finished.

It’s disappointing there are no AD’s in Middle Tennessee.
I received mine from Bell Jewelers in Murfreesboro a few years before Rolex pulled out.
Family owned business and great people...

Excited to hear about Green Hills... Other wise, driving 200 + miles and try to develop a relationship with a new AD isn’t worth it for me...

If there was nothing opening up in the Nashville area, it gives me much more incentive to go gray market when considering new purchases. I may well go that route anyway....

Just my thought, FWIW...

Diamond Cellar’s Rolex Boutiqe is now open at Green Hills in Nashville.
