I don’t think it would be in the US. Maybe Hong Kong? Huge Rolex town, from what I hear, and a huge population to buy them.

Purely conjecture.

Loads of Rolex stores in HK, maybe this is why you thought of HK?
But most are small showrooms.

It's not going to be the right answer but if you mean by total number of timepieces available, from my experience five years ago at the lovely Rolex boutique at Wynn in Las Vegas. Not sure how much has changed since then but it had a vast amount of models in its display cases albeit limited in professional sports models. I've still not come across anything quite like it.

I think you are referring to the Rolex boutique at the air-side of the HK Airport. It's no longer there.

CTF, the largest jewelry chain and Rolex AD in HK has also closed a number of Rolex AD's under their name in the last 12 months. I can count two in Mongkok, one in Shatin, one in Wanchai, one in Causeway Bay (I think).

A couple of fringe suburbia AD's operated by CSS also closed and word is other Hongkong multi-store AD operators are looking to close non-performing shops.

But steel sports models are still as rare as hen's teeth.

I believe its one of the ones in a mall in Dubai. Was there end of last year and as previous commentators have said it was devoid of St St sports models.

I think you're funny, some Americans who think they're the navel of the world. Were you very disappointed when you found out that Rolex is Switzerland? 😁

You should travel and read more.

I visited the Rolex store in Dubai, it was three stories but the top floor was kind of a museum. Not sure if it's the largest but it was pretty big.

Arrogant me??? I think it's the other way around. To say that the biggest store is in the U.S. without having any data to justify it.

If someone is wrong they are wrong. Just correct them. No need to generalize people, pretty narrow. Obviously you have a chip against Americans. Let's keep this on point.

Not at all. I have lived many years in the United States and there are wonderful people. It's a great country, but...

100% you. Please don’t be a hypocrite in shaming a guess as being an arrogant American. That’s condescending and therefore completely arrogant.

Asked and answered!

Now the real question is... how are they stocked?? In current times of shortages, that might be quite the bare use of 10k square feet.

I read your statement here and I could feel flames shooting from eyeballs around the forum. Easy mistake though, in the US, traditionally things have always been really big. I would have guessed Dubai with HK a close second or the other way round. Visiting ADs around the world is a fun sport for me!!
