It's a Baselworld brochure with the new Pepsi on the front. Whoever buys it will be able to sell it for more later.

This looks like standard annual Rolex catalogue which is produced in thousands of copies. Every dealer will get copies. 38 bids for this really surprised me, lol

38 bids but only 2 bidders ...

probably they got excited by the bid and didn't realized how foolish this auction has become.

This exact same catalog will become available from every ad and for free in no more than 2 or 3 weeks ...

One person is happy ... it's the seller

Shill bidding maybe?

Wiener48 · 10 April 2018, 04:19 PM

And I took only two...

Sorry, totaly silly, no one pays this for the catalogue (I hole!).

Supply and demand. People pay a couple of hundred bucks for issue one of the Rolex magazine (Daytona issue) and that was much easier to pick up for free, all over the world, a couple of years ago.

oldman2005 · 10 April 2018, 04:36 PM

If I see this catalog from the ADs, I will try to get a few!

bayerische · 10 April 2018, 04:41 PM

Someone paid 25M for an actors Daytona.

Surprised catalogues aren’t trading in the thousands.

jw0n · 10 April 2018, 05:02 PM

Does it mean that I can essentially ask for more money for my now discontinued 2016-2017 catalogue???

teamkitty · 10 April 2018, 05:05 PM

I see they took the stickers off. :)

Dam. That’s too bad. Would be worth a lot more if they didn’t! LOL...

New Rolex policy. Rolex wouldn't let them leave without removing the stickers and embossing their name on the front page.

Jocke · 11 April 2018, 04:54 AM

Here is how the real deal looks.

Jocke · 10 April 2018, 05:10 PM

That is the regular catalog that you will get for free at your AD very soon. The "Basel Catalog" is only a A4 folding brochure with 3 pages.

In that case I withdraw my statement above.

tyler1980 · 10 April 2018, 06:41 PM

i had at least four. Mailed to me from different AD's. Guess i shouldn't have thrown them away

They were last years though, haven't gotten 2018 catalogue yet.

xIZeitgeistIx · 10 April 2018, 05:14 PM

I should have taken home more of them, gnah.
Seriously, each visitor was able to get one from the Rolex booth. There must be x-thousands of them floating around.

RolexPD · 10 April 2018, 05:15 PM

I can’t wait to read all the “is a Rolex catalogue an investment” threads.

G'ed · 10 April 2018, 06:45 PM

Gonna raid the nearest RSC storeroom and sell for profit

SeaDweller50 · 10 April 2018, 06:57 PM

People get carried away on eBay. You see it all the time. There’d rather win a bidding war than buy it for half the price from amazon, or in this case free. The mind boggles.

WEST HAM ROLEX · 10 April 2018, 08:55 PM

So if I pick this book from my AD tomorrow, is it different to this one?.

Is this one special,,limited at Baselworld?

Jrcigar · 10 April 2018, 10:03 PM

Is it safe to look at it?

Boaters · 10 April 2018, 10:46 PM

People buy into the hype

JohnnyNoDate · 10 April 2018, 10:50 PM

It's a great investment piece!

A fool and their money...

I save my AD gifts to give away for free to WIS people here in the forum. I wouldn’t even think about selling a brochure on eBay. I never thought someone would pay for it lol. But I’d rather give it to a TRF member who wanted it.

Well he must have brought an empty suitcase to Baselworld to have all of these other show chachki’s that he is also selling.

Sad - the Tudor catalog is only fetching a few dollars.

Yep, he sure racked up. Must be planning to fund his trip by selling the goodies he got there!
