Buying new rolex in Las Vegas

[Azza]

Hi,
I’m of to Vegas to get married in a few weeks an just woundering what the chaces are of walking into an AD and buy a brand new sub 11610ln or maybe a gmt master 2?
Thanks in advance.

right around 0%


congrats on getting married though :)

i would say they are slightly lower than hitting the jackpot on the progressive slots at Mandalay Bay.

The bellagio occasionally puts SS sports out for the public.

[Azza]

Thank you for your replies, i didn’t think there would be any chance, never mind

[rod442]

Even though its not likely, still look. You might get lucky, in more ways than one.

And congrats on the upcoming nuptials!!!

I just got back from Vegas. Sadly, the AD's doesn't have anything worth buying. There cases practically empty.

[Azza]

Still maybe worth just having a look maybe on the offchance they have one?

[clb521]

Between zero and none. Save yourself time and hassle and buy one from TS. You will have it before your trip and you can focus on having fun vs trying to find a watch.

First, congratulations on getting married!
Second, there is always a chance. Odds are not good right now, but ya never know. Every now and then somebody stumbles upon a Rolex at an AD. As long as you're going to be there, take a chance and go look. Nothing to lose!

i would still try. you don't lose anything by checking and asking, but chances are very low

Congrats on getting married ! Currently here in Vegas and so far the Crystal shops had nothing but many variations of DJ and some DD on display. The Bellagio had much of the same, but also some PM sports models. Bellagio actually had the Platona with baguettes in the case. It was my first time seeing it in person so I asked to try it on, and wow is that thing heavy.

Side note, all SA’s who noticed my DaytonaC immediately commented on it and the Bellagio store was asking me how I acquired it. The manager also came over and was staying close by even as there was many other customers in the store. He seemed very accommodating to all my questions and was mentioning other models they had in back such as OF Daytona.

I would say it’s worth taking a shot if you have some free time since there’s around 5 ADs out here, but finding a SS would be a tall task.

congrats on the upcoming wedding! walk to as much AD's as you can if you have time to do it. It's fun going on a hunt, I did the same all around central europe last september and was able to pickup a gmt 2 in budapest. So chances are 0 to 1% but if it's your lucky day, it's your lucky day!

[Azza]

Thanks tony8959, what sports models do they stock?

Thats a beautifull daytona ����

[Azza]

Cheers everybody for the well wishes ������������

[steadywaters]

call them all up and let them know of your interest, ready to buy, and getting married!

I'm in NYC and even got calls for a no date from 3 ADs in the past month -- worth a shot even in Vegas

[Chari1616]

Was in LV in mid Feb, visited all 5 ADs. Wynn had Black face Deep Sea. AD at forum shops had Sub ND in the back. Think they all have every watch in the safe, just not for sale to average person (got strong hint that I need to buy about 30-40k stuff to be considered).

[T01]

Very unlikely anything will be in stock. Every time I stop in the cases are empty, even in the Wynn store and that is when you really know stock is bleak. I remember a few years ago when they had every SS sport model (sans Daytona/Batman, etc) in stock.

[GoingPlaces]

Can't hurt to look. It's Vegas, everyone gets lucky sometimes.

[Blicky41]

Do you have to buy in Vagas? Try looking local..

Stranger things have happened so why not give it a shot? Good luck on watch and marriage.

[VegasMilgauss]

Good luck mate - all the best

[RobearH]

Congrats on the nuptials. To bad though your not going to WisCon 2019, rumor there may be SS available then.

[Lifeisarolliecoaster]

You have nothing to lose by visiting. One thing though if you do see one you like don’t think about returning the next day as it will be gone

ZERO! Got married in Vegas.... they don't care about your nuptials as many get married in Vegas daily, and they have no stock anyway. Maybe you'll get lucky for the sub, doubt it.

GMT II, keep dreaming....

Yes. Always worth a shot and if you don’t ask you’ll never find out.

Congratulations on your upcoming wedding. If it were me, I’d make a few calls ahead and let them know you’re getting married and it would mean the world to you to be able to purchase the watch or your dreams while there. You never know

[NavalFlight]

Honestly, your best bet is to buy used in Vegas. Tons of jewelers out here sell used and have plenty of stock.

My go-to is Desert Diamond Jewelers, which is about 15 minutes off the strip. I got my GMT Master II there, before the bubble began.

Of course, check every business out on Yelp.

Best wishes and congratulations! Have fun in Vegas.

It's often reported on TRF (even during these last two years of shortages) that watches can and do arrive while prospective customers are actually standing around in the stores. If you keep the sales associate(s) informed of your wishes upon entering, there's always a chance they may offer you a newly-delivered piece such as a Sub, Sea Dweller, Deep Sea, or Explorer. Kind of a 'right place, right time' kind of thing. Fyi, enjoy Vegas and best wishes for a memorable wedding! -Rick.
