    I work in this district and know most of the retailers there. My experience: the most sympatic employees work at PLETZSCH which is just 150 m away from WEMPE. They do not sell Rolex,Patek,GP etc. but Brands such as Tag Heuer, Tudor, Breitling, IWC etc.
    They are a retailer with a couple of stores in Germany and in every store I had good chats with the employees.

    I was in the UK recently to get my Rolex serviced. I was looking but got the STRONG impression the dealer was who determined who would be “honored” to get to purchase a new Rolex. She even told me that just because you put money down on a new watch, it didn’t meat that they would allow you to buy the watch. This attitude turned me off on the Rolex brand, I will say that was NOT the attitude I got from the AD dealer I purchased my Rolex batman from 7 years ago, in the USA, it was such a great experience. Maybe I need to change MY attitude to one of I don’t know if I want to spend my money on a Rolex. I figure enough people start walking away and Rolex may change their attitude, after all it not like your buying something that special, it’s just a watch. I wear mine every day and it is not a safe Queen, or an “investment” it’s a tool Watch period and worn as such.😊

    As a Düsseldorfer-I really like the drone shots!
    Wempe was a dissapointment and I had to deal with an depressed / -ing sales person.
    Bucherer wasn´t helpfull either. Took my name and I never got the promised email.
    Rüschenbeck was in fact the friendliest place- they even offered me a datejust with white dial to buy on the spot (1 1/2 years ago). Since then I should be on two or three "lists" at ADs - I guess I will never hear of them.
    There are two ways to get a rolex at an AD in Düsseldorf:
    become famous or buy jewellery
    So I decided to buy used watches.

      Hello, I had a similar experience at Wempe too, but it was at Frankfurt. Pretty unwelcoming vibe by the sales associate. They only responded to my request to be put on list for a Patek Philippe and a Parmigiani after some persistence. I've a great relationship with Bucherer though. Started relationship with them 4 years ago in Switzerland and continuing with them after my recent relocation to Frankfurt. I think Bucherer has the best service overall with a wide range of watches and having fair practices. Ruschenbeck is also a really nice and friendly retailer in my experiences so far. Shout out if either of you guys visit Frankfurt and I can bring you around.

    Must be SO nice to finally be back in temperate weather! Those two experiences you had were pretty depressing. At least to me. Luckily you appreciate other brands where you can not only love the watches but be treated as a valued customer rather than someone who is at best grudgingly spoken to.

    Bei Cologne Watch, sowohl Düsseldorf als auch Köln, ist man definitiv am besten aufgehoben 👍 Viele gute Modelle werden derzeit nur knapp über Liste gehandelt und man muss sich die Arroganz von Wempe und Rüschenbeck absolut nicht antun. Hier werdet ihr nicht nur ausführlich und ehrlich beraten, hier könnt ihr euren Traum auch gleich mitnehmen und dafür zahle ich gerne einen kleinen Aufpreis zur Liste 👍 Im übrigen können beide Konzis nicht im Ansatz bei der Auswahl mithalten. 😁

    😢 In my humble opinion, I believe it's important to resist falling for the marketing ploys of large companies. It seems that some individuals are drawn to these tactics, willingly paying exorbitant amounts of money in the hopes of receiving acknowledgment and a sense of accomplishment. However, I encourage people to consider that there are always better alternatives available, even in the case of watches. I have observed similar trends with high-end purses and bags, where people can be lured by prestigious brand names. Instead, I advocate for supporting small manufacturers, artisans, and artists who truly appreciate their customers and clients. By doing so, we can avoid being exploited for our vulnerabilities and contribute to a more equitable marketplace.

    Spar dir die Zeit bei Rüschenbeck. Es ist bekannt dass sie nur Uhren von Rolex verkaufen wenn du ihre Schmuck Eigenmarke kaufst oder andere Marken wir Breitling. Mir wurde als Bestandskunde die Differenz vom Verlauf zum Marktwert gegen gerechnet und was ich von welcher Marke kaufen müsste um zB eine Batman zu kriegen. Hatte da vor Jahren eine 13‘000 datejust ausn Display gekauft (2019). Der Laden ist lächerlich.

      nur 3k über Liste, was okay ist. Und 3k sind auf jeden Fall weniger als wenn man
      noch anderen Plunder kaufen muss, welcher im Endeffekt mehr Kosten mit sich
      trägt. Danke für den Kommentar, war mir so nicht bekannt, aber zu vermuten.

    Das erinnert mich sehr an meine letzte Tour über die Kö. Keine Chance auch nur ein vernünftiges Gespräch zu führen. Sowohl bei Wempe, als auch bei Rüschenbeck. Da fand ich die kleineren Läden, mit gebrauchten Uhren interessanter - und Altherr in Köln. Die waren aufgeschlossener, nachdem ich erzählte, dass ich ihnen auf UA-cam und Instagram folge und so viel Gutes von Mister B. Watches (aka Konstantin) über sie gehört habe.
    Aber ich bleibe meiner Wempe-Filiale in Bremen treu. Dort werde ich inzwischen mit Namen begrüßt und habe fast alle meine neuen Uhren gekauft (von Omega und Sinn mal abgesehen).
