Hi. Can you share where is this SS SD sitting? I’m looking for one now.

Do people collect them? I honestly don't see the point for having them; I can get any info on any Rolex watch from the internet.

Every time I stop by my AD (which I don't do frequently), my sales guy would say "Oh wait, before you go, let me give you a gift" and try to hand me a catalog.

I like my sales guy so I will never take it in a wrong way but that level of seriousness from him simply makes me chuckle; it's as if he is expecting me to jump up and down in joy and say "oh, I am speechless.. This is a dream come true!"

The AD will insist on removing and retaining the dust cover. They might also ask to inscribe your name in indelible ink on the first page.

Why does Rolex print catalogue when they only sell ladies Datejust in ADs?

Got the call last week that my catalogue was available. I don’t have any papers, because the AD refused to give me a receipt for a free item, but I took selfies while walking out of the AD with my catalogue to establish provenance.

I always got them for free from my local AD. They’re happy to give them away.

You can get them for free if you ask. My AD knows I collect them.

Wait. If someone is willing to pay $50 for it grey and I can get from my AD for free, that makes it an INVESTMENT! Right?

I mean even if I have to give it away, I still break even. There's no downside to this.

Rolex catalogs are a great INVESTMENT.

(I now await the response from PADI...hehe)
