I'd stay away from asking what anyone is saying with such a post on your record ..
Going on lists to be allowed hand over your money.....
I like nice things as much as the next person - but on this stuff I think I'll do a Groucho Marx: I wouldn't want to be in any club that would have me as a member......

This made me LOL.
What are you saying ???
not sure I follow
You're more likely to have luck with your local dealer than a dealer foreign to you. Having said that, if your local dealer is something the likes of Amsterdam, forget it.
do the prices differ greatly by country? I travel a lot so maybe Ireland is not the place for me to shop watches?
Hi hacked AI account
Happy upcoming 50th! Choosing a Rolex for such a significant milestone is truly special. I remember when I hit my own big milestone and dreamt of celebrating with a Rolex Submariner. I scoured authorized dealers and even kept an eye on auctions, but ultimately, the timing wasn’t right financially. Now, with not quite the same budget to invest in luxury watches, I’ve found a great alternative in buying replicas from FeckOffFakerFuk. They offer models that are very similar to the originals.
I'm normally in terminal 2, the store was a little bit busier at the time so did not ask prices, will next time.
Retail prices?
Heathrow Terminal 5 Rolex. 3 SS skydwellers in stock. GmT everose gold available if you give them notice of 48 hours.
Watches of Switzerland next door has limited stock across most of the brands, no white Speedmasters 😜 surprisingly enough.
If you like a slightly larger watch a sea dweller 43 is a great option also, plus youll probably get one a bit quicker.
I dont think s/s subs are freely available anywhere, or not at retail anyway.
it's awful, luckily my mrs isn't into hermes (bags at least) and has all the chanels you could possibly need (as far as I can see 😁) but one of her friends is playing the hermes game, she wouldn't have the stomach for it!
Trying to make people buy shite they can’t sell otherwise for its RRP.
And they don’t want quick public flips as it makes them look bad in the eyes of Rolex.
Yeah, it's a bit of both sides as said above. They are running a business, a repeat customer is worth much more to them than a once off, so they can use Rolex to build that customer relationship with both sides knowing they will get what they want in the long run.
Conversely, if an AD just sells hard to get items on a first come basis then they won't retain the repeat business.
Rolex have built a very recognised brand, they control the supply and therefore demand.
Thankfully I haven’t first hand experience of that side, but I would imagine Hermes etc are very facilitating of allowing a customer to build up plenty of previous purchase history prior to allocating a Birken etc.
Only experienced this myself over the last few months .Designer handbag market makes Rolex ADs look professional .
So are they trying to make sure they're selling to people who won't flip immediately or are they trying to use the demand to make extra money by selling people things they don't want to 'let' them but a Rolex?
A bit of both.
What happens to the product after shouldn't really matter.
Agree should be nothing to do with them once they are paid and allocate on a genuine 1st person interest gets 1st watch and so on.
Erring more towards ADs just taking advantage of people due to the demand.
100% but most businesses do the same , Irish Hotels are worse.
Not sure why the AD cares if someone resells their product, they're operating a business selling things. Someone walking in and buying the product for the advertised value is the end game. What happens to the product after shouldn't really matter.
It’s not just watches, it’s ladies handbags, it’s exotic cars, as said it’s supply and demand.
It's down to supply and demand.
Most desirable Rolex can be sold above RRP easily, so the AD don't want to be just handing out watches to people who intend to flip them, They are looking to make a few quid from the customer before handing over potential few grand profit .
I've never been one to be interested in a Rolex, but is this whole plámásing jewellers thing before you can buy one actually real?
Are jewellers really short on friends and need to use their watch leverage to not feel lonely?
Sorry I always just found this such a bizarre type of comment, particularly as it relates to people looking to spend a large chunk of change on a luxury item. Having to prove you 'deserve' to be sold one is fairly ridiculous. Sounds like a massive con.
One here from a reputable Irish dealer, no date, 2017 his watches are always in as new condition. 2k over list price, probably the cheapest way in the long run. https://www.adverts.ie/sports/rolex-sub-ceramic-2017-no-date-mint/31802198
2nd'd there is a world of difference between buying a grey market watch from a dealer and an "after market" watch.
The latter is IMO always indicative of modification or non OEM work.
Yeah, but the downside is a short holiday in Dubai
Thanks for replies. Get cracking on this.
