What’s with Rolex - is it terminal?
Oh Happy Day!
The Jaguar XJ220 of the watch world? - stunning design but flawed execution

A wise move - as you note plenty of other good candidates.
In truth I have admired a few Rolexes but none to such an extent that they were desirable to the exclusion of all other watches.
I won’t trouble them again.
Just checked and both the T2 and T5 Rolex “shops” are run by Watches of Switzerland.
Just a couple of pics online but the T2 one looks like a harder set up to ignore customers in as it seems smaller and wide and shallow. Whereas T5 was deep with a side room and a couple of good corners to maximize distance from customers.
Glad your time was useful.
Mine was useful too as it snuffed out my interest! 😉
Love the styling, the dimensions and the BoR on these. Not sure on the colour, it’s eye catching but I’m not sure whether it would have long lasting appeal for me. And finally the business model of trying to buy/get one seems a lot of hassle.
So lucky you if you got it for a good price and avoided all the hassle! If it doesn’t impress you then I am sure you can move it on and you will be wiser and likely no poorer.
It’s certainly a bizarre business model as I took nothing positive away from my visit.
I have previously visited some high end stores that have been incredibly engaging and have left those feeling incredibly positive about their brands … and have subsequently bought gifts from those brands (and in some case the very same stores). Admittedly I have visited others and received positive receptions but determined that their stuff was not for me (whether to own or to gift).
I think that might be my first visit to a Rolex-only store and I won’t be heading back. I hope their bubble doesn’t burst as I’m not sure they know how to deal with customers.
