Went to the new Rolex Orlando store today.

Nothing exciting. No more then the usual well stocked Rolex AD. Very small. There would be no advantage buying there over Mayor's. Mayor's would have a better warranty and be able to offer on site services.

Rolex has been wanting to open a boutique in this mall for some time and had asked some of Mayor's competitors if they wanted to run it. Mayor's figured it would be in there best interest to take the store.

I was somewhat under impressed. I thought maybe they would sell some Rolex "stuff."

Sounds like the Tourneau-owned Rolex boutique which recently opened near the relatively large San Francisco Tourneau store. It's a small square footage place, two customers and it would look crowded, but I liked it. The store lighting is especially good. Other than watches and pens I don't know what other Rolex branded merchandise is available for consumer purchase. I agree with you, that some other Rolex stuff would be interesting to see. For example, a nice selection of Rolex branded watch storage cases in a variety of sizes.

Did this replace the AD. that closed in the Millenium Mall ? I went in there a few times when I was in the area before they closed down. They weren't the most friendliest AD I'd been to.

They went out of business. Had a big going out of business sale. The Rolex store is not in the same location but is next to the LV store if you remember where that is.

I was reminded where the LV store is by my girlfriend I'll have to check out the new store when I head down there this winter. Thanks
