Rolex AD In Arizona?

Anyone knows is there any Rolex AD in Arizona? I had checked out the Rolex AD/Jeweller Store in Scottsdale but the sales personnel are snoob.

I'm thinking of the getting the Explorer II.

If you are in the Phoenix or Tucson area, there are ADs there named Ben Bridge Jewelers. You might have better service with them. Welcome to the forum as well and a great decision to go with the Explorer II!

I think my bad exeprience was with Ben Bridge in the Fashion Square. Tourneau located inside the square services was great. I popped in to check out the IWC Aquatimer and Pilot's watch.

But I'm still more keen to get the EP II to add onto my collection.

Sorry to hear from your experiences with them. I am not familiar with any other ADs in Arizona but I wish you the very best in finding an AD that will definitely be able to treat you right during your purchase.

Tucson is nicer than Phoenix! We have better restaurants and nicer desert, and the Sun Devils are more than 100 miles away when you're in Tucson, so the air is better here as well!

Yep, I'm a U of A grad, how did you guess?

Another AD in Tucson is Jared's on Broadway. Ask for Perry. They have a good selection of Rolex watches.

How could I guess? It was easy, you think Tucson is better than Tempe! Only an Arizona grad could say that with a straight face.

If you're all the way in the West Valley, the Jared's at Arrowhead Mall is a Rolex AD. I'd call them just to make sure, at (623) 334-3033.

You can also try Naughton's on Camelback and 33rd Street, Wesley's at the Biltmore, Hyde Park at the Biltmore, Coffin and Trout in Chandler (ask for Catherine), or Ben Bridge at Chandler Fashion Center (ask for Christopher).

Good luck and happy hunting!

The whole UA vs ASU thing can go into such dialog that you have to be a grad of one those schools to truly appreciate. How about if we stipulate that having an appreciation for Rolex bridges (most of) the gap?

I love the U, to be honest. Many of my best friends from high school went there, and it's cool to have two great universities in the same state. Ironically enough, I've always been a huge Arizona basketball fan, LOOOONG before college was even a thought of mine. I think the best thing about the ASU/Arizona rivalry is that most alums don't take it too seriously. We just want to sit under the desert sky and drink!

Well said, and I totally agree! Both Phoenix and Tucson have a lot of great places to do just that! Over the years I've had the pleasure of many good jousts regarding the rivalry and it has never gotten "serious." After all, we have ARIZONA in common!

Cheers!

The biggest selection is in Scottsdale at Hamra jewlers. I bought two there, ask for Paul. He is one of the owners. Buy far the nicest AD in AZ. Great slection of many high end watches and a beautiful selection of Rolex. I bought two there. In fact both watches in my avatar as from Hamra. Even thought both were stolen, I wear the exact same datejust as the one on the right that I "repurchased"
