I'd only been inside once several months ago. Quite nice and large inside. Had a cool roundabout Rolex exhibit in the back. I don't know much more about it, but supprised to see this when I walked up to the building. Those windows and more all had big Rolex signs.

I m not surprised.. that AD doesnt give discounts on steel models when other ADs were offering at least 10~12 % when times were good.. nevertheless, it was a nice place to visit

So it's being replaced by a Saleen dealer? I seriously doubt a $100,000 car with a turbo four-cylinder will do much better in that venue than Rolex did!

That's in Shanghai so they probably don't care about a 4 cylinder. I'm sure they're buying more than their fair share of Porsche 718s for $100k+ which is also a 4 cylinder. China has big money right now.

I had no idea that Saleen was still in business!

Learn something new everyday.

The Shanghai Rolex exhibit was fun to watch. The commercial rent on the Bund is pretty crazy.
