Rolex in HK
Last Friday, a Rolex AD told me they received two 2018 126711 Rose Gold SS GMT and asked me if I am interested. Sure I was, but after he told me the selling price is 80% higher than the RRP, I said, you got to be joking. He wasn't because both pieces were gone within 36 hours. They are new, any pricing they imposed will be snatched because buyers want to be the first to own one. Just like all the sports watches here, none sell at the RRP set by Rolex. Waiting list, forget it, they sell to whoever can accept their call. I rather fly to Europe for one with tax refund than robbed by AD.. Looks like all the 2018 models will be hiked up when they received stocks... So frustrating... So unfair..

I thought its a must now
For all Rolex AD to follow RRP price?! Is it a small AD? Wait till someone report them. My country is near HK. Can feel your 😡 towards this issue. Yang
Well, sounds that the guy who called you is very, very keen to loose the dealership!
How can be one so stupid / greedy to risk of loosing the goose with the golden eggs ( Rolex dealership) over a short time profit. I cannot imagine it is the owner himself who does this, for sure an employee, maybe you make him another offer: Instead a pre...
Everyone is doing the same here
No in demand or Sport Rolex sell for the RRP here. You walk in and they simply said no stock, but they will sell to someone whom they know and accept the high premium or have bought hundreds of thousands from them regarding one as super VIP then a likely ...
But i really like the full rosegold gmt tho......
Not that i m willing to pay the insanely 80% on top premium.
yes .... if you are VERY patient .... and I don't think so
Take your time is good but this one is extremely hot , might be worse than a Daytona. I spoke many AD and if you want to order one now they don't accept people anymore, if they do be prepared to wait between 5 and 7 years. Somebody in London was even quot...
Why don't you report this to Rolex?
I'm quite sure dealership will be lost in one second!
Sure about that, ok for an AD to manage the allocation as he prefers, deciding to favor one client vs another one, but...
... absolutely NOT to charge more than the retail price you’ll find on the official Rolex website! You should report it to Rolex immediately and have some fun waiting for the AD to try and sell tha remaining Rolexes he has, Rolex will say bye bye to him i...
You want one, pay premium
I envied all those who doesn't live in HK to enjoy buying your Rolex with the RRP or in some cases with discount. Its damn unfair that consumers must pay for a world class brand with prices not stated by the manufacturer but by the people who sell the bra...
The US AD are more fair
My AD said he received 11 watches delivered 2 weeks ago on a Thursday. He sold all on Saturday at MSRP.
Personally I wudnt know how to respond if an AD asked that...but they never suggest it either as I do not seem to be 'the guy'. I am shown the watch, they...
...let me try it with smiles and then give it back - that's it. Relationship is where they know where to draw the line. If you venture out to an unfamiliar place they are bound to exercise their gimmicks. Why go check 36hrs later if its still there if you...
Relax, Ian.
I am no longer following this super popular GMT II Jubilee I might as well just franken my existing GMT II with a Jubilee bracelet at RSC here which i can, and change the bezel to a Pepsi bezel if I can find any lying around somewhere... 😬 Instead of a Re...
I like Rolex like the next guy but....
they are really annoying me. All new models are unicorns. Everything is “limited” by supply and the AD’s act like they sell the best most horological time pieces. If people stopped paying over MSRP then this little game would end very fast!
US AD received an email from Rolex USA a few days ago
No special order for special customers on all steel sports watches that every one wants. Every AD has to wait their turn based on allocation. He said that it’s even more difficult currently. Another AD has more than one branch, all selling Rolex. AD not a...
this is the norm in HK
My father in law wanted to get the 116500 Daytona, he went to the HK Rolex AD. The AD said this is the SRP price, my FIL said ok I will get one. The AD said there is no stock and a long wait list, maybe 10 years before you get one. My FIL felt really bad ...
Yes I heard about this as well in HK.
All AD's and Grey Dealers in Hk have been enjoying the run on over charging for their stock for the past year!
Looks like we should avoid HK.
I believe SG is fair though I have never went shopping for a Rolex.
How times have changed
When I was growing up, I recalled my grandparents saying if you want a good price on a Rolex, go to Hongkong.
I work for a company that owns a Rolex AD
And a US authorized dealer who tells a customer "MSRP+80%" is an ex-dealer waiting to happen. Wait in line, buy new, buy at list; pre-owned means instant gratification but at a markup. But an AD selling **new at a markup** would get tactically nuked by Ro...
