After being on the waiting list for 9 months I found out last week that they are no longer a Rolex ad - anyone else seen ad losing Rolex? Now I need to start calling round again very frustrating!!

With the down turn of the high street and the short supply of Rolex watch’s I believe many Rolex AD will close in the coming years.

I agree. What's the point of selling something you can't get in to sell.

I used to always pop into my AD for a chat and to see what they have in stock.

I just dont bother anymore as there is never anything to buy.

If we start losing ad’s does this mean Rolex will be using other avenues to sell watches? Will this allow them to control the market - asking for proof if identity etc?

My local AD lost their Rolex line a couple of moths ago. I have bought 4 from them. No hope of getting a Pepsi now.

A few years ago there was a big AD culling.
The shops use the Rolex brand status as a draw, but if they have none of the popular models to display, they might be more trouble than they’re worth. Empty cases don’t pay the bills.

And I recall that the culling we heard about a few years ago centered around Rolex's requirement for a certain minimum case space dedicated to their watches and signage. If the dealer if forced to set aside a large case display that remains empty, I would say it is a good business decision to look for another product to sell.
