Rolex Strong-arming AD's

[bigG]

Visited my AD yesterday and noticed that they had pulled their Breitling and Omega displays. When asked they told me Rolex NA came in and told them that if they wanted to keep being a Rolex AD they had to dump Breitling and Omega n They said they expect all AD's to make Rolex the centerpiece of their watch lines.

I don't know about you but I think this type of strong arm tactics is not befitting a company such as Rolex. What are they afraid of? Can't they take the competition? This sounds like a very insecure company as opposed to the industry leader they think they are. I love Rolex watches and own two, but am not pleased with the way they can treat AD's. But when you are Rolex I guess you can do what you want. Anybody else feel the same way or is it just me
