It’s crazy how I’ve been on the wait list for a Submariner for over 4 years and can’t get my hands on it. I refuse to buy it from the flippers no matter what. I won’t pay a penny over retail. So good move from Rolex.

Wont change anything, AD s will still favour repeat customers over new ones, i am sure they will find a work around. Besides ADs don’t want to actually work to get new customers and I doubt will ever go back to the days of offering 10% discounts to get your business. I don’t think Rolex actually cares as long their product moves. If they really cared then they should remove ADs and sell online direct with a legit customer database and real lead times not the fake waiting lists….and then watch the grey market prices tank. Somehow I don’t think Rolex want that either.

@yuenmanson9860 Год назад

I think Rolex has been making a very bad move, they would like their watch being sold to those flippers or investors, keep in the safe box and wait for appreciation, rather than selling their watch to those watch enthusiasts who truly love their brand. They are ruining the brand in long run like Hublot.

@yuenmanson9860 2 года назад

I don’t think it helps to prohibit fippers, as long as Rolex AD doesn’t sell watches to those real end users. Gray market dealer can easily use few heads to buy Rolex from AD and build up their purchase history to get watches in msrp from AD.

@ChrisJohnson-yw2ky Год назад

Plus, flipping 3 watches a year at just a $3k-6k price point is still and extra $9k-18k a year for the flippers. That's being conservative and it's still a decent chunk of change. That's if they're selling all 3 of course.

@somedude4652 2 года назад

Really sick the flipper grey market! Been chasing a rolo for 3 years now only to find grey market sellers fully stocked and nothing avialable at the ALL the four local AD's

@turbyoulance 2 года назад

Rolex AD's make approx 36% selling a watch .Example say a $20,000 watch sold is purchased by an AD from ROLEX for $12,800. So that's a reason why there are rarely any rolex's in the shop. They are PRIG's to start with .The low level one's like the Air King and milglaus are what is pushed onto anyone to try and clear the inventory , even if you said you wanted a Daytona. The brand is not selling in China atm and is on the noise everywhere. Flipper's and Chron 24 and other sites are making much much more $$$ flipping these on the Gray market than the actual AD's are selling them .People are leaving ROLEX in groves for better luxury watches that they can buy at retail without the bullshit in this brave New World. 19/20 ROLEXes are not even attractive for a start,ROLEX are headcases.

Try a few more ADs or better still you could treat yourself to a Lange, FPJ, Blancpain, GO, VC, or for less money Omega. It's just a fashion accessory afterall, not worth the wait that long. A waitlist that long is one that doesn't exist.

Same experience here. My suggestion is find a local or somewhat local AD that takes an interest in you. That treats kindly and actually wants to get to know you on a personal level. That might be your best path to a Daytona. Its the only fighting chance unless you spend above $400,000 yearly or have been buying with them over 10 years. Sad but that’s how it was explained to me

Flippers are making the most on the old and rare watches. It’s also a gamble on their end that watches they buy will increase in value. They don’t predict the price but the demands. If Rolex wants to fix it they need to expand and pump out more watches, but if they do that then they’ll just shoot themselves in the foot because now everyone got one and it’s not as valuable or rare as it was.

Come on guys, imo there’s no way they can stop the flippers. The AD will still contact their favorite or VIP buyer whom have spend a lot of money in their shop purchasing either Rolex or other watch brand and advise them to use their friends or relatives name to register the watch. So there’s no way Rolex can detect. To completely tune this problem, I know it’s crazy but which might help is that all the e-forms that we submitted in the waiting list is a google doc that will be control by Rolex and select the interested party through balloting in sections of 100 every month. Then I’ll consider that as really solving the problem.

If we all decide not to buy pre-owned watches at prices that exceed authorized sellers' new prices, prices will naturally go lower than the MSRP, which should have been the case in the first place. It's time to clean up the overinflated, overpriced gray market and good riddance to all those sellers who have overinflated prices among themselves. Now, having to pay more for a vintage watch makes sense, but honestly, for a new or recent used watch, it's infuriating.

@ChrisJohnson-yw2ky Год назад

Yes I agree, have to starve them out. A little bit of patience is always a good thing with something like this. Just have to wait a little bit longer for your favorite piece but it's a small price to pay in the long run. Also, let's say 20% of the Rolex purchases are flippers. If they stop making that premium, they'll stop buying which adds another 20% to the available supply.

Unfortunately for me, my favorite watch happens to be the black dial Submariner. A few years ago this wasn't a problem but now it is. I already have an Omega Seamaster which I really love but I need that perfect, 40mm piece of engineering

With any luck at all.

I had been looking at almost all the young mean and woman wrist. It is not a mechanical or Quartz watch. Almost all wear a SMART apple watch which is sold directly by Apple store or its AD. That is why prices are in control by APPLE and consumers benefit and APPLE benefit too. Cheers

Between the grey market and the reproduction market Rolex will end up with the LV stigma.

Their watches are not even worth 1/10 of msrp. Check the online unbiased reviews.

Don't worry it's a bubble just like all the other asset classes will experience a pop this will to.

@dellwright1407 2 года назад

Probably more like a softening in the market... Rolex watches are still not trading anything near retail and we are in a serious recession & cost of living crisis.

@dawatinlei Год назад

Whatever Rolex, keep profiting from your existing costumer group, new consumers are just directly spending their cash immediately into Omega and Grand Seiko likes. F your waiting list and your AD snobciety.

@andricopoulos70 2 года назад

If Rolex was serious they would control the wait-list. They would sell online like Omega and other watch companies do. Flippers can easily get other people to buy on their behalf. So limiting 3 watches per person won't work .

@Kcseales 2 года назад

They would never do that, and that is for a great reason. Their model is a winning model.

@andricopoulos70 2 года назад

@@Kcseales well then Rolex can keep their watches. Winning model ? They produce 1m watches a year and compared to a few years ago I hardly see anyone wear Rolex because they are in the flippers safes.

@Stephanie-vx4zi 2 года назад

It won't work. The avid collector / buyer, will simply send someone else to buy it on their behalf..

@derrekb4501 Год назад

This won't work, flipper has the relationship with AD, all he/she got to do is send in his or her friend in to purchase a new Rolex. Only solution is sell direct like Tesla, only had centers for delivery and service. For example I order a Rolex on 8/9 online with Rolex, get it on 8/12 at my local "Rolex Center" former AD site...that's it. If the watch sells itself why do you even need AD, keep the profit to yourself Rolex.

@notDonaldFagen Год назад

Yup. Seeing 2022 Datejusts going for pretty much retail or less. 8-9k in two tone. Ceramic Subs under 10k. Cry harder, flippers.

@dwightstone6569 2 года назад

😂 I am not even going to watch the video because I personally know what the PROBLEM is!!!! Rolex should have Boutiques and get rid of EVERY authorized dealer period! Having to be on a list is ridiculous and you are only producing so many pieces a year anyway?

@benficaM8888 2 года назад

nope. won't end. because AD has zero moral. they'd help flippers dodge this rule.

@barbarianming9227 2 года назад

Rolex(AP and PP do the same) AD in China just dump all of their watches to flippers(99.9% situation), the only way to purchase a rolex either you're a high rank CCP members(or their close relatives), or buy it from flippers. In my eyes, the flippers are the actual AD in China.

All this hoopla over off the shelf assembly line watches w declining quality control

@Youtubeuser1aa Год назад

Why do ADs care about repeat Customers? Do they get bribed?

@luisshelby583 Год назад

A flipper can be called john wayne instead of their real name so, i guess the game is not going to change.

@munawarhayat007 Год назад

The ADs will also sell watches to known flippers bc they’re also getting a cut. A lot of regular people wanna buy Rolex but can’t so we’re turning to grand seiko or Omega. I’ll wait until Rolex sell direct to consumers. AD are arrogant and rude. Will give my money to someone else.

@alexolife Год назад

Sounds pretty naive to me. So each flipper can only buy 3 Rolexes per year per AD? How many do you think each AD even had available for each flipper before this bright idea? Come on, this doesn't solve anything. 😂
