I own two Rolexes - submariner - Explorer. I bought them many years ago and I’ve kept them in excellent condition. I bought them at a time when you could go into a Rolex store and walk out with the Rolex you wanted. The last time I went into a Rolex store, the only watches I saw were the expensive gold watches with diamond numerals, two tone gold watches, with what I considered unattractive dials. I did not want any of them even if I could’ve afforded the price. I firmly believe that the Rolex boutiques are pushing the expensive watches, assuming that if you can’t get the submariner or explorer, you would buy a different Rolex, the more expensive one I had one owner tell me that frequent customers are able to get the stainless steel brands that others have to wait years on a list. Rolex produces over 1 million watches a year and they’ve just started working on a new facility which at some point will double their production. I understand that Rolex management is looking that way to change the way Rolexes are sold. Apparently they want to cut the number of retailers and have more high-level boutiques.

I remember when I first brought a Rolex (for my wife), AD was willing to sell it below MSRP. They also try to sell me a Daytona with discount so we can "wear Rolex together". Like everything else, things come in cycle, and the upside of the cycle is over.
@chipmacgill10 ай бұрын
Well not for Daytonas. The Daytonas could barely be given away back in the 80s and maybe early 90s but since then for steel especially it’s list at an AD, and whatever you or someone will pay on grey.

You do realize that Rolex is a mass produced mid-tier luxury watch? In horological terms, Rolex is nothing special and the company has never produced any complications that could be considered high horology. Omega, on the other hand, has a much more impressive resume including the industrialization of the coaxial escapement, certification by METAS in addition to COSC, the production of watches with highly sophisticated complications - including a tourbillion - and real world achievements that include being the choice of both the Olympics and NASA. Rolex has perfected its BRAND, but its watches are nothing extraordinary among Swiss brands. Not an insult, just the truth.

I use to be able to get 1 watch per year (stainless DJ41s, Daytona's, even a Submariner here and there) and now nothing. One time I posted a an op41 for sale on FB marketplace and stated where I purchased it from to help buyers feel secure it was real, my AD immediately phoned me and freaked out. It's obvious there's a back door deal going on with grey market scum bags.

Firstly, market economy means that companies produce products which are on demand, not what they want. Otherwise it’s USSR number 2 which produced quantities but not what people wanted. Secondly, when you talking about AD and selling them watches selectively means discrimination, if you know what I mean. In democratic world this is not acceptable. If some celebrity with democratic believes will be offered something what not available for ordinary people but available for him/her then he/she can sue AD to the last penny for that. I would do. What Rolex and AD do they just support grey watch market dealers. As market overloaded with brand new models for double price. In addition, celebrity choose watches from expensive brands which not affordable for ordinary people. Not from company- speculator .
