Ben Bridge Jeweler has 89 stores in US and 5 in Canada. AND they are fully owned by Berkshire Hathaway (Warren Buffett). There is no way they will go out of business.

BUT yes, one of their store might have stop selling Rolex due to low demand or concentration issue. No biggie.

Thanks for letting me know.

South Coast BB closed and Cerritos BB still sells Rolex, though I have not seen a sports model in a long time.

What’s funny is the margin on Rolexes isn’t very good but it’s a halo brand that gets people into the door.
Interesting. It just so happens that the Brea store had just started carrying Breitling (which they always had at Cerritos).

I would fully expect Ben Bridge to go out of business before I would say that ROLEX would suffer from low demand.

In fact I'd be curious how long that particular BB location exists without Rolex...

Does make you wonder. He said Breitling was the one brand for some reason Rolex made it a point to say something.

Because Breitling is almost impossible to sell without a discount. Makes for a low rent vibe. Rolex wants upscale and exclusive.
