We all know the struggle finding a BLNR or SS Daytona at an AD when walking in. Im curious if at the Las Vegas AD's I have a better chance of being there at the right place at the right time. Do these AD's keep lists or since most people are only there for a couple days at a time and a majority are out of towners you have a better chance of snagging a hard to find model the day they arrive. I generally make 4 trips out there a year and in April saw a couple SS sports models but no BLNR's or Daytonas.

too much money in vegas.

jcdeng · 30 July 2018, 04:36 AM

try vacation spots that is only open 1/2 of the year. They tend to not have regular customers and not have lists but steady supply due to limited time per year they get to have customers.

ie. santorini

doboy007 · 30 July 2018, 04:44 AM

Sorry, but no. They’re also careful about who they’re selling to since so much flippers.

andyvn579 · 30 July 2018, 04:48 AM

They do have a list. Got mine in Vegas but i was in waiting list in order to get it

Timing is everything for a walk in score but Vegas beats to different drum, Very Fast..

I doubt the Vegas AD's are different to anywhere else.

rtalk · 30 July 2018, 04:53 AM

Here is tip ... Ask for BLNR and not a Batman and your odds go up exponentially.

watchmework · 30 July 2018, 04:59 AM

If you’re going to be there already you might as well drop in. Chances are there won’t be anything available as Vegas gets a lot of foot traffic and interest from buyers.

travisb · 30 July 2018, 05:03 AM

You'd be better off in a rural area at a family owned AD.
Vegas, NYC etc would actually decrease chances but you never know.

TheRolexKingofLV · 30 July 2018, 05:03 AM

Local Vegas ADs can't even take care of the local buyers!

The tourists don't stand a chance.

BNA/LION · 30 July 2018, 05:33 AM

Best of Luck! LV is tough place to find high demand watches.

Rfblee · 30 July 2018, 06:27 AM

Currently sitting in the Vegas airport and just visited 10-15 different watch stores. The only one I found with SS models was Hyde park in caesars (black and white explorer II) but it wasn’t in the case and we had to ask.

This is good advice.

Fleetlord · 30 July 2018, 08:13 AM

They will have plenty of Rolex watches in stock ready for purchase

haberdashery · 30 July 2018, 09:01 AM

Currently in Vegas and I visited all of the Rolex ADs, not a sniff of any desirable modes.

Every AD I went into stressed how important a “relationship” or purchase history was.

The Rolex boutique in Caesar’s pulled a blue dial TT Sub out of the back for me, and tried to tell me how rare it was.

Tesorini in the Bellagio had a TT Skydweller in the case (black dial), and lots of PM Daytona variants I’ve never come across before.

One thing that struck me about a couple of the shops was how tatty the stock was. In the Wynn boutique they have a platona which looks like it has been in the case for years, most of the stickers now missing. And in Tesorini they had a WG GMT Master which was again missing most of its case stickers.

Same story for Patek, although one of the places did confess to having a 5712 in steel out the back (not sure if that’s just because I had one on, and he knew the was a 99.9% chance I wasn’t buying another, so he felt it safe to mention.)

All in all, a decent trip but some watch candy would have been nice. On another note, I’ve clocked all manner of watches while in town, including 10+ stainless Daytonas, and the first 5711 I’ve ever seen in the wild.
