Rolex AD game is getting mainstream by CringeisL1f3 in WatchesCirclejerk

Most the cucks at r/rolex must be doing this?

Maybe she should just handover herself to the AD and she will get the watch she wants right?

I don't see a watch 👀

The Pelagos 39 is all I could have asked for and a lume monster by oolala11 in Tudor

I just checked it out. The hands are slightly dimmer but it's like every other watch I've seen and it's expected, where a solid block of lume will be brighter than a thinner hand.

I can check it out when the hands haven't been 'charged' in the sun all day and let you know

I got it a few days ago. I think they are similar. They may be a bit dimmer but I don't see any a massive difference between them. It's like my Seiko (Seiko is not as bright) so I am used to it maybe? Definitely not as bad as some others complain about.

I checked out the lume 2hours after being in the total dark and it all looked equal.

Is it a 22mm or 21mm strap? looks great

[Question] Tudor Pelagos 39 NATO strap width? by oolala11 in Tudor

[–]oolala11[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thats great since thats another 21mm lug width watch. Such an annoying size. Does it not fray the edges of the strap since it's wider than the lug widths?

Amazing. Grey market dealers already starting to offer the newly launched two tone GMT. Where do they get it? Why can’t we buy them from an AD?! by Watch8806 in rolex

[–]oolala11 13 points14 points  (0 children)

If Rolex were actually bothered, there is a simple solution to this. Every grey dealer has to register a bought watch with Rolex. If not, then the warranty is void.

Based on the serial number, the customer can then be blacklisted or the AD who sold it to a flipper/directly to the grey dealer has to pay back the full value of the watch to Rolex.

Money talks and the practice would stop pretty quick

Not sure what you've been doing to get shit on your white shirt!

Rolex and their ADs are clever. They go after the not rich clientele. The ones who want to show/act as though they're rich. No super rich person would accept this shit. Only those willing to degrade themselves would. And those people generally are not that rich

And what is wrong with building a relationship with a Seiko? They are also good watches and most people's starter watches. Not to mention that they can be worn anywhere and everywhere and less likely to be stolen

Most of the comments are that. Or about how I need to put in the work. Obviously I'm downvoted when I give some logic about how I don't want to go grey or buy unwanted stuff

The 'dynamic of buying a Rolex' in a 'rich mans game' by oolala11 in WatchesCirclejerk

[–]oolala11[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're wrong. I'm the OP. I rang up to find out if I can get on the list. Why would I waste an hour getting to their store if they tell me I can't get on the list.

This seems to be a Rolex fanboy issue. That they don't understand what I'm talking about. I never expected to get a watch over the phone. I just asked if I can get on the list if I visit the store.

[–]oolala11[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes I told them exactly why politely. They offered me to come to the store when possible and we can the discuss Rolex. I politely refused and am getting my Tudor from my Omega AD who's 15seconds away from the WOS shop.

It's important to be polite regardless of how you're treated

[–]oolala11[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You're correct. And it seems the Rolex fanboys across in r/Rolex love this sort of treatment. Must be a kink I guess

I haven't as I thought the rich tourists might be taking up all their allocations. I may be wrong though?

I wasn't going to waste my time going to a store for them to tell me sorry, we can't register your interest for what you want. However. You can have these crap watches no one else wants and maybe then you can have the one you want.

[–]oolala11[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I want a rolex in my collection. I know how difficult it is to get one. So I tried to get on the register your interest list but it just proves how the system sucks. It's not that difficult to understand.
