Begging and changing yourself for a nice but still piece of metal!? No, thank you. Self respect should be a priority.

I really don't care, I mean not worth it to put more affort to own a watch. I just want to pay for it, I don't care about bullshit. There are many great brands out there, no reason to waste time...

[@mauricedottore9807]

Just buy grey market under retail model

[@mraksuperk]

I feel the same ie very disappointed in the A.Ds and not being able to buy the watches. They should be grateful that people are willing to spend that kind of money on their watches and by making them available to customers it deals with the flipper problems ie if the watches are available to buy then there’s no profit to flippers.

[@Hdusc2727]

I’m so over them. They are gonna judge what I earn? Hilarious

[@esisolina]

I walked into my AD last week and told them to take my (expression of interest) off the imaginary list.........I felt so good walking out. I'm sure they didn't care and that's fine too. Today I'm picking up my grail watch (not Rolex) and I'm happy. In saying that, I don't see anything wrong with Rolex watches but I'm sick of games, I have better things to do with my life :)

[@rosakop1]

What watch is it?

[@fj7509]

If your grail watch was a Rolex you’re just going to want a Rolex later on. Your other watch is not the grail you wanted, it’s just going to remind you of the Rolex.

[@rosakop1]

@@fj7509 i got a feeling he won’t answer which watch it is. Sounds like a made up story

[@KC14109]

I walked in my AD with shorts and t shirt. Full body suit of tattoos. Got my rolex in 3 months. My Snoopy was offered to me without even asking for it. So I can honestly say who gives a shit what you look like or how much you earn. Even the owner told me he'll get me a Batman.

Or you could just go and buy an Omega or Grand Seiko online from the manufacturer and not have to jump through hoops and simp for those Rolex corporate clowns...

[@wabloWattsy]

What a strange world we live. All this fannying about for a watch.

[@StreetPreacherr]

It's not the brand I hate; it's their FANS!

[@knowcoiner533]

The current situation with ADs is ludicrous. I've worn Rolex for more than 25 years but now I'm expected to beg, give insights into my business and lifestyle and wait months on end with no idea if there will ever be a call? Forget it. If you want 5 figures of my money you'd best step up and earn it not act like you're doing me some sort of favour. An AD gets 6 weeks, after that I'll just go grey.

[@theadventuresofwolf5.77]

[@rudiausbuddeln]

@@rosakop1 Not the best example as the skydweller isnt really demanded but steel datejust, submariner etc is still not easy to get.

[@user-og2wt3le4j]

I remember a time when you could walk into a Rolex AD or boutique and buy a watch that day. I walked into a Rolex AD. There were no Daytonas on display. I asked if they had Daytonas. She went back and came to the sales floor with three models. That was my first Rolex. No BS. No wait lists. That was the start of a relationship and many purchases later. They also were dealers for Chopard, Omega, Grand Seiko, and Cartier. I became a customer for those brands as well.

[@ggez5890]

Oh Rolex. They tried so hard to be the Hamilton and Omega of watches but ended up being as loved as Hublot, posers and prep losers

[@user-og2wt3le4j]

It helps to walk into an AD and know the brand, its history, and the reference numbers. It shows the knowledge a real collector has.

[@jamesmoninger1982]

This is absolutely ridiculous. Put on an audition for a chance to buy a $20,000 staineless steel watch? Allow a Rolex dealer to run a background check before considering you as a potential customer?

[@robcarrier1969]

Or just go to a brand that actually wants your business, there's plenty out there..

[@wabloWattsy]

[@jaywhite1141]

I went into my local Rolex authorised dealer today and basically sold myself. Told them my master plan for five years. I want to get a Rolex OP for my 30th in five years and I’m obsessed with watches

[@24hourgmtchannel64]

Lol. Boy, I'm really glad I don't like any of Rolex's modern offerings. Haven't since my last new purchase in 2010 and that was one of the few remaining AD stock five digit subs. Actually, I lost interest in 2003 when they dropped the drilled lugs.

[@Jungleman707]

I live in Geneva and bought Rolexes at both at Bucherer and the Rolex store and the airport stores in ZH and GVA. What is the most important for the steel sports is to be a local resident, and to be genuinely interested and not a flipper, and to be patient and call every few months. A purchase history helps for rare watches like the Pepsi I guess. I got a SD 43 for my 50th, they took note of the date and called me 2 days before ❤… (that was the Rolex store, I waited two years, I had bought a Datejust there). And I signed up for the Darth Vader ceramic Daytona two days after release at Baselworld and got the call a year later although I had no purchase history (I passed 😅). I got a Sub no date from the ZH airport simply by being patient and calling every six months (I waited three years, no purchase history). Again, only locals can buy steel sports and Daytonas, tourists can buy anything else.

[@Jungleman707]

Bucherer have a field in their CRM for suspected flippers, they showed it to me.

[@Jungleman707]

Also you don't have to be rich but it helps to show that you already have a nice watch as a sign you are not a flipper. Omega Seamaster or JLC or whatever, wear it. They look, they told me. If you have nothing on your wrist, or a digital watch, its a red flag.

[@T.Q.]

F’*k the AD. I put my name down for a Datejust and a Submariner and waited for a year and a half or so and I never got a call even for a basic Datejust. So I went and treated myself to a GMT Master and a Submariner from the grey market. Yes, I paid a bit extra but I would rather do so than to beg some dufus salesperson who seem to think that they’re the next best thing since sliced bread. They don’t get far in life beyond working in retail and rightfully so. I could’ve built a collection with them and bought one almost every year or more, but its their loss. I couldn'tvgive a damn about the extra money it costs me to go grey, at least I get what I want instantly and get treated with respect. Next stop is possibly a Daytona or a Vacheron Constantin Overseas.

[@vincet6730]

Their CRM system decides who gets what and when…

[@ConciousControl]

Just go grey, Rolex keep on increasing their prices so by the time you've been on the wait list for years the new price will be the same as the pre-owned nearly new price anyway.

[@noroc7472]

Is not Rolex problem how much you earn. Money are money.

[@AlbertoMerelo]

I don't know if the luxury watches market work like that, but If rolex would sell more watches, it wouldn't reduce the grey market? Grey market would exist anyway, but the sense of "exclusivity" is useless if you can buy the same model innthe grey market...

[@StreetPreacherr]

Are creepy moustaches a benefit or hindrance to how you're perceived by Rolex ADs?

[@johnatnip9516]

Say you finally get the call and they get you your first entry level rolex (stainless datejust 41). How long should you wait before you ask for a little higher tier watch (sub date stainless) ?

[@P0N0]

A world coming out of a pandemic..supply will be short. It's the Grey market that has their concern..why sell a watch to someone who will flip it? And for those who really want a rolex, the stores will always be there.

[@seanmurphy1614]

So what! Nice watches but nothing is worth prostituting one's self to corporatism? I have too much self respect and life experience for that carry-on. 😅

[@StreetPreacherr]

And the funny part is that the customers who are expected to jump through these hoops are SIGNIFICANTLY more wealthy than any of the Reps that are deciding who is 'permitted' to buy one of THEIR watches! lol It's like a 'high class' power struggle, where the 'Six Figure' Sales people get a chance to fuck with the 'Seven Figure' clientele.

Phil, Why are AD's giving you so many watches, you resell them.

[@PatricksFinanzen]

He doesn’t get any watches from an AD! He buys them from people who get them and resells them.

[@fj7509]

That’s why all he does is trash talk ADs. So people feel like they have to go to him and pay 3X over retail to get their Rolex lmao

[@djnotgeil]

The look on the face of a watch dealer is priceless, when you pay for your Rolex in full on a basic credit card and it goes through. (Yes, you can boost up your credit limit by depositing funds to the credit card beforehand.)

[@StreetPreacherr]

Is that unusual? My MasterCard limit was just automatically increased incrementally to $25K over the years, and I never actually requested an increase. I figured it was just because I used the card fairly often, but never carried a balance, so they were probably hoping I'd eventually 'splurge' on something that I'd have to start paying interest on... I eventually had to request that they STOP automatically increasing the limit, because 'Credit Checks' actually consider your Income v.s. the POTENTIAL DEBT that you could accrue... So for instance, having a $50K limit can actually be 'detrimental', because it means that at any time you could immediately rack up $50K in debt and not pay it back. Debt is just crazy when you look into it. It's actually just a COMMODITY, that companies buy and sell just like any other 'investment'! lol Like if you were a 'debt collecting' business, you could probably actually 'purchase' your own debt for significantly less than the 'value'! Because these companies will 'BUY' your debt for 50% of the total amount, and then try to collect the full 100% from you to make their profit! Bring back the GOLD STANDARD!!! lol

[@shawnmartin1306]

Just got a Yacht Master 40mm blue dial this week from AD. Was only a 4 week wait. He did say the sprite would take a little longer to get. But he definitely would get it. Zero purchase history but I did go wearing my 42mm Yacht Master white gold on oyster flex. I did let him know I think the Sub and Daytona look like crap. Zero interest in either of those. Also don’t like the Explorer 2. But I do like the sky dweller a lot.

[@skyworks1621]

I came to the store when I already had a sumbariner ordered for 10 months with a buyer of my Tudor Pelagos that I sold and the buyer wanted to see if all is ok with the watch. I was taken of the order list right away. Then I had enough and called a friend who is a huge client who can buy the most expensive models and I got the call from AD and a watch in few days. At first I wanted to buy it on my own and wait like normal guy. So buying proces is really sh....

[@terrymcdonagh5439]

Sod Begging an AD shop worker who earns a nice living I'm sure, but has no idea who I am or what I earn or what I do. In the last year I have bought a blue steel skydweller on jubilee for myself, a blue 41mm OP for one of my boys and a black 41mm OP for my other boy. I had a more pleasureable experience buying those on the grey market then from an AD (who I have been to and make me feel like I'm unworthy of their time) - Their loss not mine.

[@dariuszwojcik1601]

[@tallishyeti2756]

How fancy of clothes do you need to wear to walk into the AD? I make good money but don’t particularly care to wear expensive clothes. Will slacks and a nice polo get the job done?

[@bowfell]

I was in a large city not far from my home and by chance walked into Rolex for the first time, just for a chat and to ask about sizings and fit etc. I was dressed casual, jeans and white polo shirt. I was treated very well, offered champagne and was able to try on and look at any watch I wanted. I was there over an hour and a half. I have shown interest in 2 watches and will see what the future brings.
