Banned from my AD

Lets be honest - why wouldn't Rolex do this type of thing? People act like its some big deal to have a low cost search team just capture S/Ns all day long when we know they are yanking ADs left and right for "selling to gray".

And one other thing I've been saying for a while now... you have to conceal the whole S/N. It doesn't do anygood to conceal all but 2-3 characters which can easily be cross referenced against model number/dial/bracelet. Since they are random how many Daytonas with a A6**3*** SN are there really in the world?

For grins I snapped a pic of the local costco that had a watch in the case not too long ago. The SA I work with asked me to jot down the S/N as "they like to help out Rolex"... I had since left the store and didnt plan on asking to see it out of the case, but still this is the world now. No matter how crazy some think this is.

Its like all the license plate scanners that exist out there - people just recording, compiling, mining data... its the future and its here now.
