Large rolex AD said to me last week that they want to sell to people who keep the watches and would not supply again to anyone who flipped one
Can't see how in reality they can police it though
They always say that, some even try to enforce "official" sticker removal procedure to stop flippers.Can't see how in reality they can police it though

Just curious: are ADs or Rolex themselves not bothered about customers buying watches to flip? Are the ADs only interested in moving stock?
They are very interested in customers wanting to flip, they hate it as very often they prefer to sell to somone who cares about the watch and not making a fast buck. It's the distasteful side of the hobby.andy355 said:

They can't police it, but AD I got mine from sold their first Daytona to guy who quickly flipped and they had a call from Rolex asking why? That guy may be unlikely to get another sought after piece from that AD in future - one can only hope.Can't see how in reality they can police it though

To be honest the grey dealers dont force anyone to buy from them,if you dont like the price dont buy it?
Of course they don't but the fact is that grey dealers make the market at the moment. Whatever price Watchfinder sets becomes a benchmark for the rest of the players. And their "prestige" allows them to ask for premium because sheep are in the "buy everything" mode at the moment.VGTICE said:

I'm hoping there are lots of people that cannot afford the watch in front of me in the queue... I'm 13th so in for a long wait otherwise!
From what I've been told they won't be coming through proper until September and there a lot of interest in them?? All I would say is buy a few watches in between as that seems to help? Ie the dealer knows your not a messer. Gassing Station | Watches | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
