Rolex

Why do some fellow members think that Rolex will remove the dealership of an AD or boutique in case of in our eyes wrongdoing and/or listen to the public about dubious practices. So I have also experienced what some of my fellow members have experienced r... 

I too have no idea how these Rolex ADs have been allowed to get away with it but because even Rolex boutiques adopt a similar practice, I seriously doubt that Rolex HQ have no idea what is happening. I think the culture in the west tends to be more politi... 

normally i have good experiences with boutiques and AD's, but this was just a surprise and made me wonder as i heard more stories concerning such practice with Rolex and it made me wonder...i hope it changes so people start enjoying such an experience aga... 

if Rolex adopts stricter rules with its dealers and boutiques. As they have got away with it in the past with Daytonas and other sought after Rolexes, there is little reason for them to stop charging premium prices unless there is a danger of losing their... 

If that does not work, I am connected to a few senior Rolex employees and would be happy to put you in touch with them - as I am sure many other fellow Purists have such contacts.

but it was more of an experience i wanted to share as i did not come across it before. and that let me to the question, whether Rolex really cares about these practices and wants to do something about it. Your response seems to me they do..perhaps I will ... 

situations with other brands where they sell the watch from under you when you leave or pull this same kind of mojo with prices, dirty dealer practice yes, but if you didn’t know you wanted the Daytona then, pass. I’d report them as stated because even wi... 

for your advice...perhaps you are right and i did ask too many times...lesson learned, but no hard feelings at all. I just feel sorry for the people that have to deal with these kind of AD"s/ boutiques whilst they may have been overjoyed to have finally f... 

No need to give the finger. Haha. Agree with Sham, Rolex is still a good brand making good watches. I still like them. We shall find ways to go around such AD practices. I just picked this one up last evening. Is it as good as a Daytona? 😜 It’s super dupe...  

i was looking at the gold plated model...hahaha. I am not festering at all, and like i said, the finger is until i may be able to see the pepsi and/or rootbeer.

Initially I had wanted one. But I read the top link near the lugs are immovable. It will wear wide, on the wrist. Moreover the links on a bracelet, I find too loose. This square steel series will definitely look good with rubber strap, IMO. Over here, I t... 

Especially with Rolex and Patek. I have bought a majority of my watches through the same AD for the past +10 years. They know me. I feel they value my loyalty to them, and they always treat me exceptionally well. When I bought my Batman GMT, I had to get ... 

A little different. They see money, dosh, make more money, commissions. I personally never liked to queue even for a good cup of coffee or even a nice dinner. I will normally look next door or take a few steps further away to enjoy the same kind of food. ... 

Yet, I have to think there are ADs everywhere that see the value of treating people right so that they can win long-term customers. That practice may be practiced less in some regions, but I want to think good ones can be found everywhere. As to queuing, ... 

queuing up is that i lose interest..so i don't and leave and just wait until another time...it has worked for me in some cases and in some not..but i am oke with that. That's why it was extremely easy to walk out.

...I am the one who is spending. But I also see it inevitable in second and third world countries where population has grown exponentially. First world Brands wud face queues when they enter these markets. Patek/RM opens a boutique(ADs) in SEA but doesn't... 

I have actually only come across good AD's and boutiques and perhaps I am spoiled in that way. I have to say that where long term relationship could be important, so is establishing the first contact/ experience of the buyer buying the watch at said AD. T...
