How to report flippers?

Hi Everyone,

I have been lurking for some time and decided to make an account. I have been wanting a Rolex since before Christmas time last year & decided to finally attempt to get on an AD waitlist in my area. The first store was unsuccessful and was told there were 2000 people on the list, and the average purchase in their store was 20k. I understood this to mean " We aren't selling to you". I tried the second location, and after trying on some exhibition models I talked to the salesperson for a while and they put me on the list for 3 models (scanned my Id, etc.) I waited 2-3 months....

I was checking FB marketplace in my area to see if I could get the watch I wanted about 2 weeks ago. I started noticing a pattern. watches started showing up, but these are purchased either that week or that month at the latest.
I thought the market was softening up and decided to stop in again so they wouldn't forget my face. I asked about trying on more models, China/Russia closing down ( This particular store was getting upgraded with a showroom & supposedly more watches will be sent monthly). I asked him what do they do about flippers? I was told, " Rolex checks Facebook to see if people are flipping watches, and blacklists them". I didn't really believe this, because why would they have time for that?

Anyway, These people are flipping watches a week after getting them, and I am wondering if there is a way to report them. I'm trying to get any kind of advantage I can, and if that means reporting people selling a 10k watch for 25k so be it.

PS. These aren't grey dealers. They wrote they purchased them in my city and gave a reason why they didn't "wan't them" anymore.
