Should you buy Rolex at the AD? - YES & NO LIST!

[@johnbrock6248]

Got tired of the AD waitlist for a GMT Pepsi. Went to the grey market, traded in a watch I wasn’t wearing and walked out with the Pepsi on the same day. I was just growing old waiting for the AD, now I’m wearing the watch as a daily.

[@gregs8685]

How much over MSRP did you pay the shysters?

[@Bonga3]

It’s pretty simple, stop buying watches as investments. If you really want the watch to wear it, buy it. If you don’t, turn it down

Almost no one buys as investment. perhaps they buy as sustainable asset. A very different thing.

[@perezpepito104]

Not an asset. But I catch your point. Maybe store of value.

[@Anonymouslyme1]

It’s not ‘back to normal’, watch-makers have been furloughed in Switzerland, this down-turn has not levelled out, it’s still dropping. People are turning their backs on spending money on watches and getting back to other things it’s only the collectors that are still interested. There is also a significant recession in China and the US economy is on a knife edge of a recession, they cannot get their inflation under control. Btw, great video nonetheless, great insights into the current Rolex market but I wouldn’t mind betting Submariners and most stainless DJ’s will start trading below retail in the next 9-12 months, there is a glut of them out there.

[@gavinwhite9743]

Spot on video, without the nonsense. I've been in three Rolex Ads in past 6 months, and the experience was far more pleasant, and one was honest enough to explain what I could reasonably expect. I was offered solid gold to walk out with, shorter wait times on Yachtmasters and Explorers, ...steel subs, GMTs and Daytonas still high demand long lead times. Also offered credit should I want it, whilst being served drinks. Anybody serious about buying a Rolex can use your advice, and potentially have a pleasant experience with an AD, with peace of mind it’s a genuine Rolex.

[@DadeMurphie]

I wish I could find an honest dealer. I just get them saying pretty much everything they can to discourage me. They will give me absolutely no estimate on how long the wait is or if I'll ever get a watch if I wait. I'm asking for one of the least competitive OPs and they are pretending like it's a Starbuck. Of course ladies models are available to buy hint hint.

[@key4duty]

@@DadeMurphie that’s a wrong AD and a big no. Don’t bother to visit again, just look for others that are honest. They can be hard to find but they still exist! I did the same, I have a few around the corner which don’t sell anything to me. Then I went to another one 2,5 hours drive and it was like a whole new world. Very patient, polite and they give estimates. They don’t want customers to wait longer than 1 year, so if you get allocation then it’s always within a year and you have to make a deposit which confirms your request. So you know it’s a guaranteed call!

[@bobbydazzler1780]

Sound advice, as always. Can’t fault it, this man knows his onions. Just a few points about buying from the grey, you’re not necessarily getting like for like. Some secondary dealers polish everything (mentioning no names) so the watch appears pristine and doesn’t come back. If you buy direct from the AD all the lines, edges and curves are as they should be straight out of the plastic before your eyes. All of the parts are 100% genuine from an AD as are the tag, warranty card box and papers. Let’s not get into bezels here but you get my point. You get the full 5 year warranty out of the gate. Plus, peace of mind - buying from the grey market you’ll never know 100% for sure if the watch is hot until it goes back to Rolex for a service; if there has been any dodgy dealing going on your grey guy may not even be around in 10 years time. So it’s not just the cash on the table to consider. Anyway just my 2c. “Exhibition only” signs appear to have gone from AD windows so now’s a great time to get the watch you want on your wrist. Belated Happy Birthday man and many happy returns!

[@troisk]

Exhibition only signs are definitely not gone. Rolex started sending a lot of exhibition models around (with no warranty papers, no sale possible), to fill out shelves, allow people to try them on, and avoid the stupid empty stores that we saw 2 years ago. But people forget situation varies wildly from AD to AD and location to location. Getting a SS GMT or Daytona might be 5 or 10% easier than it was 2 years ago in NYC, LA, London or Paris... but it's still virtually impossible with no history. The models that started flowing again are the TT and full gold pieces, which are reselling below retail, as they already were. Regarding grey sellers, there are hundreds of highly reputable grey sellers with decades in business, brick and mortar stores, in house watchmakers, thousands of sales all over the world, and return/money back policies. Buy the seller and you won't have to worry about the issues you've described. And in the rare chance you do have an issue, they'll take the watch back and refund you because they won't destroy their business over a single watch. If you go for a dodgy price way below market from a private seller with no track record however, then don't be naive: either you're getting the deal of the century and should exercise extreme caution, or it's a scam.

It’s time to buy Rolex at the AD if you want one to wear! It’s pretty easy to get and the wait is not long at all. Waited 2 months for Datejust 36, blue dial, fluted bezel and jubilee bracelet. Was offered a Submariner no date just a few weeks later. Don’t listen to the average watch youtuber that sells on the grey market. They make it look like it’s impossible to get a Rolex at the AD, which in reality isn’t.

[@troisk]

Depends where you live. It's still very difficult to get a SS Sub in many locations without prior history. And some models are impossible without a considerable history. Go back to your AD that offered you a Sub ND (great watch btw), and ask for a GMT (not even a Daytona), then listen to the wait time you hear back. Grey premiums reflect demand on specific models. A DJ 36 sells slightly above retail on average, depending on desirability. Same for a Sub ND. This tells you these models aren't impossible to get, just hard on average. A Daytona still sells for 1.7-2x retail...

Good video and a good breakdown. The one thing no one really talks about is how the normal enthusiast goes and tries to get these watches given all of this nonsense at places like AP and Rolex. (Especially AP) each customer wanna know who they are and all this nonsense yet there are a combined thousands of brand new Royal Oaks from this year and last floating around Chrono 24 and every other grey market dealer site. It is truly infuriating. It’s the same with Rolex a brand, new GMT or one of the after dials in the OP or datejust ranges you have to kiss some real ass, yet brand new ones make their way to the grey market everyday

Is it just me or does anybody else's soul scream out in anguish at the sight of bare metal on stone?

Yep I would never rest any of my Rolex on anything but a soft protective surface.i wince when I see Rolex resting on rocks, video or not.

‘Maybe I had something to do with the increased popularity of the YMII Rhodium’ You didn’t.

You don’t think social media has any influence?
