Anyone have experience with Geary's Rodeo Rolex AD? I'll be in Beverly Hills tomorrow and was planning a visit.
Thanks guys.

I don't have experience with Geary's, but while you're on Rodeo check out the Panerai, IWC, JLC, VC, and AP boutiques. They're all there.

I'm absolutely positive that a Rolex AD in Beverly Hills will have nothing but TT DJs and ladies' watches in stock. :)

The real question is if they will be rude or not. BH is probably one of the worst places in the world to just pop in and browse scarce luxury items.

You're probably right, but I have time to kill and am curious to see what they have.

I don't think that was it. IIRC, I was just wearing jeans and a t-shirt and wearing an Omega PO. It must have been my charming personality :grin:

Update.
Matt, you were correct, only diamond encrusted ladies date just, and 4 mens date just, all TT with diamonds. The salesman was pleasant, and seemed embarrassed that there were no watches in the store. Even worse, he had no clue as to when new inventory would be delivered.
Then he started to bullshit me about the pandemic and the impact on production Rolex had as the reason there was nothing in the store.
There were literally a dozen empty showcases in there, it was disappointing. I was looking to buy something, and there was nothing there.
Amazing how there is no shortage on the gray market though.

Can you imagine the cost of the real estate in that zip code to have to pay for a storefront that has no inventory?

It baffles me that anyone bothers with the brand at this point. There are so many other terrific watches that one can actually buy, I don't see any reason to play the Rolex game.

As much as I admire the products, I agree. This isn't a game I am willing to play.

I agree as well. Here is what was in the store yesterday.

I was at my local Seiko/Grand Seiko AD earlier this week picking up a watch and it was amazing how large and broad the Grand Seiko display was. They also had an equally robust Omega display all available to just buy and walk out of the store with.... but people have to buy a Rolex...

I’m so over Rolex at this point. Their pretty underwhelming releases the last few years is helpful in this.
