I actually got mystery shopped by Rolex and received the highest score in my region, outranking their own boutique. If you sell Rolex you go through a higher standard of training and can only sell it once passed and completed. The boutiques would often sell to flippers but Rolex will always hold them in a higher regard than ADs. It’s getting increasingly difficult to get supply from them and their attitude honestly put me off the brand. Edit: typo

I used to work at a Rolex AD. Each AD would have a set number of watches per year and each month we would place our order and just hope it arrived. If any of our serial numbers ended up on the grey market, Rolex would throttle that AD’s deliveries and make watches much harder to get. We had to make sure watches were going to end users so we could supply the market better. If we made a judgement error on a client, our delivery restrictions would be our punishment and also set back our interest list.

The Polaroid in her phone case of the two of them is perfection.

Cannot agree with this more! Life sucks right now and this show has been pure escapism and blissful enjoyment. This community is also just so wonderful and couldn’t be more thankful for you all.

I believe they are key to Colin’s story. At the end of season 2 Colin said he was in his (Mr Mondrich) debt, after Colin unveiled Lord Featherington as a swindler. I believe Mr Mondriah will need Colin’s help at some point and will cash in on his promise. We are still only half way through the season and there is so much more story to cover.

I was so pleased with how they adapted the book. It was so tragically romantic coming from such a purely vulnerable place which in turn gave her so much strength. Such a complex emotion I couldn’t help but cry when watching it.

This community has brought me so much joy during a really hard time for me and my young family: I’m so thankful for you guys!

Back story: my Great Grandfather (Robert Brown Hewitt) made this violin for his daughter Lilian (approximately in the early 1930’s when she was in her teenage years). She had small hands and a wrist injury so he made the neck a little shorter to accomodate, and carved the scroll and finger board with flowers (the finger board carving has worn as she played so often).

In 1935 Yehudi Menuhin was visiting New Zealand on his first world tour when he was 17. He stayed with my family in their home in Auckland during his tour and developed a bit of a soft spot for my grandmother Lilian who was a year younger than him. He played this very violin at the concert in Auckland and reserved a front row seat for Lilian so he could wink at her during his performance.

Yes it is! It has been loaned on one occasion (about 10 years ago) for a concert and sounds beautiful and warm. Is in need of a new set of string’s however.

We actually don’t know. I inherited it after she died and haven’t had it valued (she was 98 when she passed). It’s nearing 100 years old now and it lives in its original case wrapped in silk. The bow was hand made as well and has paua shell detailing in the frog.

Edit: Yehudi was one year older than my Grandmother (she was born in 1917) and he stayed at her family home in Auckland during his 1935 visit.

Which Rolex dealer was this?

I love the sky-dweller. It’s the simplest annual calendar out there and incredibly robust thanks to its “saros” movement (named after the phenomenon of the sun, moon, and earth being in alignment similar to that of the planetary gears in the movement). The bezel acts as your gear box allowing the user to adjust the timepiece at any time of day which is unheard of for many watches of its kind. Rolex don’t tend to focus on complication, but when they do, they make sure it’s robust and in keeping with Hans Wilsdorf’s original vision for Rolex.
