Honolulu Botique

Yeah, yeah, I know PICTURES !

But just to let everyone know. The Rolex shop across from Dukes, has a store full of all models - multiple versions of everything In the displays and windows.

Of course, all exhibition pieces !

I'm traveling so I cannot adjust pix size, etc. Suffice it to say multiple green bezel subs, many GMT, including GRNR (1), no date, and date black bezel subs.

No kidding I was shocked to see such inventory.

If you all are in HNL, head over and prep for a big surprise!

Went in for a watch, but came out with #11. ..ha ha !

Nice that they have a good selection to view.

Also, try using the tapatalk app with this forum on your phone. It resizes pictures automatically

Did not get a watch, got the #11 magazine. SA says he will have a no date Sub for me within 2 months. Will report back.

It’s always a nice surprise to see such a variety of models in one place.

I've been finding that Tapatalk makes my phone really hot. Has anyone paid for the ad free version. I was thinking this would help.

I use the free version. The ads do pop up frequently but I’m not too fussed with it.

Honolulu store has always been underwhelming to me, staff-wise. The selection is pretty good, though. I remember there being multiple of the same Sub variant even when I was last there in July 2023. They also were trying to tell me very passionately that there wasn't an MK2 bezel was completely false, which of course is completely untrue. I just casually brought it up, too.

Ben Bridge in the mall is worse, though. That's probably the worst AD in the country I've ever been to, staff-wise. It is very unique and beautifully decorated, however!

We were there this time last year, seems as if they had 3-4 GMT's in the window. As stated, lots of exhibition, a couple for sale but only the ones that,

well, that's why they were for sale. Staff was nice enough, a good place to see watches on display.

What’s the point of having multiple exhibition copies of the same model?

To frustrate anyone who wants that particular model.

I stopped in the Rolex store on Maui two weeks ago. Only Rolex preowned for sale. Nice shop though. Pleasant SA’s.
