Another AD Visit, some big news!!!

Visited Long's Jewelers in Burlington, Mass today, such a spacious store, lots of sq. footage devoted to jewelry, not as much to watches as I expected.

The Rolex section wasn't terribly impressive, barren cases, as was expected.

Spoke with a SA who was assisting my friend with a Breitling purchase, he mentioned that Long's is converting one of their Boston locations to a Patek boutique, coming soon.

FYI,
Not converting an existing store, they are opening another storefront on Newbury St. for this......
And not the Rolex boutique, a second Newbury St. storefront.

Well Patek aint Rolex. Sure, you wont find SS Pateks, but plenty of other ones always sitting around.

Wow, very interesting. I’m a long time Long’s customer and waiting on a couple of pieces, but was not aware of this. My SA is on paternity leave so haven’t had a chance to chat with him lately…

Patek is not a high volume brand compared to Rolex. Long's need the Rolex boutique to be able to sustain the Patek boutique.

I was at the Burlington store yesterday (my 16233 mainspring broke, even felt it snap, and I was bringing in for service) and the platinum DD was amazing. The only thing missing was the blue dial.
