Planning for purchases - distance from AD

[7enderbender]

So, I’m sorting out to get ready for a purchase - or probably two in the near future. When I lived in Europe and in a northeast metropolitan area this wouldn’t have been an issue. I would’ve stopped by one of the locations that carry Rolex and see what they have and otherwise how to get on a list for what I want.
Thing is that I moved to a more rural area and any AD is about 2-3 h away in any direction. Don’t know any of them, have never bought anything there.
Obviously, I can start with a phone call and explain that and see where that leads. I’m not opposed to making an initial trip if it sounds like people take the request seriously.
Looking to (probably) get a 28mm Lady Datejust (steel, jubilee, white dial, Roman numerals) and a 36mm green dial DJ (steel, jubilee) for myself. Not expecting that they’ll have those just lying around but I don’t think those are hot models that take years to get either.

This would be in North Florida (ideally Jacksonville) or perhaps Atlanta.

Thoughts? Any concerns with approach Mayors for this? How do they treat their different locations? Completely independently?

Edit: looks like the Jacksonville location is no more - which makes the whole thing even more challenging.
