Rumors of SoCal Rolex ADs Losing License?
I've heard some rumors for a year or two now, but it hasn't happened yet. I've also heard some rumors that Rolex is trying to consolidate in SoCal?
Has anyone heard of rumors of any Southern California Rolex ADs losing their license? |

Only a select ben bridge location.
Saint Cross lost the account couple years back. |

All I’ll say here is that Polacheck’s gave me the run around for 2 years until that BB salesperson got there. I had $100k spend there and never got anything on my list. The SA you’re referring to got me a watch I asked for in 3 days. |

Totally. I got watches there but they were always on a lucky walk in. They seem to drop everything for celebrities while giving everyone else the run around. I worked with the BB employee at BB with no games and she’s been great at Polachecks as well. |

Just a few weeks ago there was a thread about Hing Wa opening a new location.

Wouldn’t be surprised. Rolex is positioning to bring everything “in-house” via boutiques. It’s just a matter of time. I would expect the number of ADs to dwindle away slowly over the next decade.

I don't see why Rolex wouldn't shut them down and consolidate especially since the boutique at South Coast is operated by Tourneau (Bucherer) i.e. it's owned by Rolex themselves. |

With the Bucherer acquisition it just doesn't make much sense for Rolex to have a middle man in the form of other ADs, especially in a market such as Orange County where there's a ton of demand. |

I could see Rubel getting nixed. That store is tiny and by far the most underwhelming Rolex AD I've stepped foot in. They haven't offered me any watches either, so let them eat cake for all I care.
