Does it really matter whether they do or don't. They may monitor this web site but being independent, they do what they want regardless of market feedback!!!

I would be surprised if someone(s) from the company don't take a peek every now and then. And, in case that time is right now, I would like to cast my vote for a 40 or 41 mm DJ. And it would be great if I didn't have to take out another mortgage on my house to own it.

Only one other mortgage? You're getting a good deal...

Other watch manufacturers monitor their own products conversations on other forums...I know this for a fact. There is no doubt whatsoever that Rolex people check out what is happening here either through the moderators or through their own people..

There used to be a Rolex RSC watch maker female that was here I do believe. She finally had to bail out do to some conflict of interest. Anyone remember her?

If they visited the Open Discussion Forum first than I would say only once. After that, I am sure they left running with their hair on fire and sucking on a Timex while their little Rolex brains exploded.

You gotta figure they have AT LEAST one employee who constantly searches the net for fraud, and basic market information. I would guess they have several and I'm sure all big watch forums are scrutinized.

Yes. Most large companies have people who monitor forums, newspapers, and television news for any things of interest.

They are a timezone sponsor, but I really doubt they spend a lot of time monitoring it or any other forum fir that matter....FWIW, they probably think we are nuts!

I would assume that the Rolex legal department monitors any and all rolex activity on the internet as well as paperback items as well.
