Actually it’s going to clash with that thing the Rothschilds are hosting on the ISS, isn’t it?? Are you not already committed to that?

I think one of my help may be attending.

Awesome thread potential.

Can't make that as I'm having dinner with HMT watches - appropriately enough at the Sultan Balti Palace in Wokingham.

Good grief. Help wearing Rolex. Times must be tough in the Ellroy house. Hang on in there man.

Who isn't commited to that? I've had Elon customise my Falcon Heavy for a more accomodating journey. Or at least to allow me to accomodate more, shall we say, guests. Naturally I've also had to have Champagne Cattier adapt production of their Armand de Brignac toward an effervescence more suitable for low gravity. Anyone know who on Saville Row makes the finest space suits?

WTF!!! Lol

Seems a bit crass to me. Not my cup of tea. I've had several invites to doo's from an AD I've bought from, but just ignore them. Who in their right mind would want to mix with a lot of boring watch leeches, sucking up to their hosts. Time would be better spent trawling eBay for old Boctoks.

A evening of decent food and wine for free? Count me in, our table last year had some really nice guests and the Rolex chat was both informal and enjoyable.

WOW! To be honest I'm glad you don't go! All I asked was if anyone on here was going to a nice evening put on by Rolex as a thank you to some of there customers who buy from them. You say I'm a watch leech but you are on a watch forum commenting on watches! Without getting into a slagging match I think I would rather be getting pissed and fed than sitting at home trawling eBay for old crap.

How does one get invited to this Rolex shindig?

[SULAND]

Build up a good relationship with your AD over many years,spend a few quid with them??

Buy a load of stuff you don't really want to become a preferred customer, spend hours in store demonstrating knowledge of the brand; you know basically all the normal stuff you do just to be selected & offered the chance to purchase a SS sports watch.
