Local Ben Bridges that Lost Rolex

Hello all:

Just trying to see how many Ben Bridges have lost Rolex. In socal so far South Coast Plaza, Woodland Hills, and Tyler Mall no longer sell Rolex. Someone mentioned Del Amo Mall will lose Rolex also.

Just seeing if I should cut my losses and start a new relationship with a Bucherer or Boutique location.

Thanks in advance

I like the folks at Bucherer. Always treated me fair and you're essentially buying directly from Rolex, which could eliminate future loss of AD status issues.

Another approach might be separating one's buy-side desire from the AD network. But it's not for everyone.

Out of necessity I've done that because my nearby AD was dropped, and then I saw them launch their own version of a Rolex CPO model using safe queens they had held back. At street pricing, they made an instant inventory margin over 75%.

Including 2 Daytona's I had been "on the list" for 5 years. Not sour grapes - my spend level had been modest - maybe $25K for jewelry and watch gifts bought at reasonable prices.

Decoupling has its risks - you just need to know your dealers. TRF ones have been great with me over the years.

South Coast Plaza... there's been a Rolex boutique in there for like 10 years, before it was managed by Bucherer/ Torneau it was Baron and Leeds. When was BB selling Rolex from there? Had to be more than 10y ago.

Woodland Hills... yup that's gone. is it gone yet? i heard it was done like 2 years ago.

Tyler Mall... they were very sure a couple years ago that they will be opening Rolex in the Victoria's Garden mall. Not sure how that's going.

Del Amo mall... wow that sucks, can't imagine giving it to Morgan's. Russell the owner literally told me to get a tennis bracelet and i could leave with a Rolex submariner the same day. I didn't even ask for one.
