Second Experience: Raymond has once again proven why I made the right decision to work with him exclusively. He recently reached out to let me know he had secured the Rolex Submariner I’d been waiting for - a watch that anyone familiar with Rolex knows isn’t easy to come by. We finalized everything seamlessly over the phone, and the entire process was as effortless as it was exciting.
What sets Raymond apart is that he took the initiative to reach out when the right piece became available, without me having to chase him down. He remembered exactly what I was looking for and made it happen. This is the kind of attentive, personalized service that’s increasingly rare in luxury retail, where clients are often left waiting indefinitely without any real communication.
Raymond treats this as a long-term partnership, not a transaction - he’s invested in helping me build a collection that truly reflects my taste. Raymond has earned not just my business, but my complete trust - and in the world of luxury watches, that’s worth more than any timepiece. I’m already looking forward to adding my next watch to the collection with his guidance.
Whether you’re a first-time Rolex buyer or a seasoned collector, do yourself a favor and ask for Raymond. You won’t regret it.
First Experience: My recent experience at Rolex on Rodeo Drive with Raymond was nothing short of exceptional. Raymond's expertise extends far beyond just Rolex timepieces - his comprehensive knowledge of various watch brands and his genuine passion for horology immediately set him apart. His patience throughout our visit and willingness to share his deep understanding of the craft made what could have been a simple transaction into an educational and enjoyable experience. The level of service he provided was exactly what you'd hope for when investing in a luxury timepiece.
Having visited Rolex boutiques across the United States, I've unfortunately grown accustomed to leaving with a lackluster feeling about the overall experience. Raymond completely changed that narrative for me. His approach felt refreshingly authentic rather than transactional, and his genuine interest in understanding our preferences and needs made all the difference. The contrast between this visit and my previous experiences was so stark that I've made the decision to work exclusively with Raymond for any future Rolex purchases - he truly is a hidden gem on Rodeo Drive.
What sets Raymond apart is his thoughtful approach to client relationships. Rather than employing typical sales tactics, he took the time to get to know us as individuals and asked genuine questions about our lifestyle and watch preferences. This personal touch created an atmosphere of trust and comfort that enhanced every aspect of our visit. For anyone considering a Rolex purchase, I cannot recommend Raymond highly enough - his combination of expertise, patience, and authentic approach to customer service makes him an invaluable resource in the world of...
Read moreRolex Boutique on Rodeo ? Last place I thought I’d be shopping for my first Rolex.
Omega , Breitling, Bell & Ross , all daily wearers , and never retail and always Authorized Dealers, my experience for 35 years of buying watches.
So it was time for my first Rolex.
Date Just 41 Jubilee Bracelet Slate was going to be the start of my Rolex journey. An iconic watch worn by Presidents and countless influential people who wear a Rolex without ROLEX screaming from their wrist.
Watched a few Videos on how to buy an in demand watch ( the ones that people buy to resell and make a quick buck ) and threw all that in the mental trash.
Walked in to the Rolex store on Rodeo and was introduced to Benjamin. I told him exactly what I wanted and he checked the inventory.
While waiting I couldn’t help overhearing the silly customers around me , telling their salesperson on how it’s a special occasion, that they intended on buying additional watches and all the ways ( verbatim from the videos I watched) to say what it takes to get a watch in high demand.
Benjamin shortly came back with a watch that just missed the mark, yes the watch I wanted , but a few diamonds and an oyster bracelet wasn’t what I wanted.
So Benjamin advised me he would put me down for the exact watch I wanted and promised to call if it came in .
Because of the honesty he exhibited, the time he spent with me , the attempt to show me a few watches that I almost bought for that instant gratification, I left feeling he was truly going to try and make it happen.
Three days later , I received a text and a call from Benjamin, the exact watch I had wanted just came in , and he grabbed it for me.
After a short wait upstairs where I was served hors d’oeuvres and a beverage, the watch was fitted to my liking and I left with a discrete bag which contained a Rolex bag , outer cardboard sleeve protecting the Rolex Box and my Rolex watch on my wrist.
A wonderful watch with amazing customer service.
Rolex on Rodeo, Highly Recommend
And now that I’ve made my purchase , I can honestly say my Rolex collection has officially started and my experience and the customer service had everything...
Read moreI want to express my deepest gratitude for the unforgettable experience I had recently at GEARYS off Rodeo Drive. As a watch collector for 20 years, I’ve visited countless boutiques, but this was my first time working with the Rolex store, and it exceeded every expectation I had.
From the moment I walked in, the level of service was exceptional, starting with Security and continuing through every person I interacted with. The Director of the Stores, Jamie Hayes, is not only one of the nicest people I’ve ever met but also an absolute encyclopedia of watch knowledge. His passion for watches was evident, and his warm demeanor set the tone for my visit.
I’m especially thankful to Viki Garcia, who truly made this experience unforgettable. Before presenting the Rolex Explorer to me, we had a wonderful conversation about watches. She even went out of her way to assist me with putting the bracelet back on my Deep Sea, which was a kind and thoughtful gesture. Viki’s knowledge, passion, and professional yet outgoing personality made me feel completely at ease throughout the process.
When she showed me the Explorer with its stunning white dial, it was love at first sight. Viki never pressured me to make a purchase but instead provided detailed insights about the watch, ensuring I fully understood and appreciated what I was buying. Her confidence and expertise in answering every one of my (sometimes OCD and ADHD-driven) questions were truly impressive.
Even after the purchase, Viki went above and beyond by giving me a tour of the boutique and sharing more about the Rolex line. She made what could have been a routine transaction into a personalized, educational, and genuinely enjoyable experience.
I cannot thank Viki enough for making this such a memorable moment, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone, whether a seasoned collector or a first-time buyer. This was a 5-star experience through and through, and I look forward to returning soon—most likely for another watch, knowing myself. Thank you, Viki, for...
