LITTLE GENEVA

I HEADED TO ROLEX ON MADISON AVE YESTERDAY. I'VE ALWAYS AVOIDED THAT PLACE FEARING THE WORST OF EXPENSIVE SERVICE CHARGES. I HAVE ALWAYS GONE TO ONE GUY FOR MY WATCH FIXES AND HE NOW SETS UP SHOP ON 47TH ST IN THE DIAMOND DISTRICT. WELL, NEITHER HE OR HIS VERY CONNECTED ASSOCIATES COULD FIND ME A BAND THAT WAS CORRECT FOR THIS 1675 GMT (BELOW) SO OFF TO ROLEX I HEADED ON THE ADVICE OF MY FRIEND CHRIS (WHO IS A PUBLISHER AT CONDE NAST AND KNOWS HIS WAY AROUND FINDING THE RIGHT SOURCE). IT WAS A GREAT VISIT. COURTEOUS, CALM AND NOT PUSHY. THE TECHS WERE VERY HELPFUL AND SORTED ME OUT WITH THE RIGHT BAND. (PRESENTED IN THIS COOL GREEN SUEDE POUCH). THE BOWL OF LINDT CHOCOLATES DEFINITELY EASED THE PAIN OF THE 45 MIN WAIT. THEY ARE SWISS AFTER ALL. VERY THOROUGH.
