The other translation is:

“F off. We have enough customers”

It was probably the latter. Anyway, wouldn’t recommend that Gearys but the one in Santa Monica had great customer service!

The ones I know about are Santa Monica, Century City, Rodeo Drive, and Bhindi's in Glendale. Any one of them, or any others, more likely to actually end up allocating watches I want (like Sub, GMT)

Stainless steel GMT or Subs need some pre-spend history or if you are really lucky able to get one. But, precious metals Subs or GMT could be available if you fancy spending that amount of money at the Rolex AD.

Good luck man.

Russell of Morgan’s Torrance will actively ask you to buy a women’s bracelet or necklace to let you “go home with a submariner.” Can get DJ41 blue jubilee fluted bezel with no issue though. I met a customer here in store a couple years ago that said he spent more than $8k on his wife to get a submariner. He was picking up a submariner.

In 2024, Russell said he’d send me home with a sub if I picked up something for the wife. told him I had lived here in the area and been a customer of his for awhile now. He didn’t care. I then raised my hand and said I wear Daytonas now. “What do I need to buy for a Daytona?” He walked off. lol.

Morgan’s is the worst. Prepare to buy lots of junk for the honor of buying a Rolex.
