Would it not be more appropriate to boycott the AD? Rolex don't ask or tell an AD how and where to sell their stock. They can't. It is at the discretion of the AD. If the AD wants to be an AD they have to stock and sell an agreed quota. It is not Rolex's place or right to audit them. They don't work for Rolex.

The manufacturer can withdraw AD status if they see fit. Maybe if enough people boycotted the ADs who are considered the biggest offenders, they might end up with an AD more to their liking. That would take some will and organisation. I can see how it might feel better to just sit in a forum throwing stones.
