I'll start boycotting Rolex after I'm allocated a steel Pepsi. Or will I.. ?

Really seems like he was just boosting his post count… until the full weight or TRF started coming down on him/her

Bill11783 · 27 September 2021, 09:36 AM

Please!!! Boycott!!! Maybe then I will be able to own a Daytona someday. Totally ok with limits on purchases. 2 a year is fair. Let’s allow others the joy of purchasing a Rolex at retail. Rule will definitely limit the flippers out there. If you need more than 2 a year, then try exploring other brands. There are many fine ones out there. If that does not work… then not sure what to tell you.

Rolex is boycotting us

Yobber76 · 27 September 2021, 10:07 AM

I can't boycott Rolex, that would require having a Rolex watch that I could buy, and then I refused to buy it.

But I really like that Omega.

173rdabn · 27 September 2021, 10:46 AM

Good luck with that. What you don't buy others will.

TheVision · 27 September 2021, 11:58 AM

LOL. It's just a watch brand afterall. It's their global marketing that brainwashes your brain into thinking you must own one.

Tons of other better brands/watches out there rather than being obsessed with just Rolex.

There's 100 million very nice watches for under $200. Look great, keep perfect time. Timex for one-I've had 2 Timex Automatics for over 40 years and still work great. For raw time that $15 Casio digital works fine. Cadissen and Armitron make lovely looking watches under $100.
I want Rolex. I couldn't afford one for 40 years and couldn't afford a second one for the next 20 years. Now that I have inherited money I have bought another one and planning on buying one every year for the next 3 years; with NO patience for playing footsie games with AD's. And I am dying with the watches so this ain't about $$$$$$$$$ as people post ad nauseum. Nor do I have or will ever have an Instagram or Twitter account.
Plus no one will "brainwash" me into thinking I have to play games with an AD or go on a wait list for years I may not make it to. My motto is:
Pay Today
Play Tomorrow Morning!

superspectral · 27 September 2021, 01:10 PM

I don’t see the point of boycotting purchasing at MSRP. Out of principle, I do not plan to buy a Rolex that has been flipped.

hambone1983 · 27 September 2021, 03:26 PM

how exactly is it a boycott of the brand if you sold one Rolex and are wearing another?

And did you sell that piece at MSRP or was it acceptable to allow the market to determine the price in that instance?

Frits1980 · 27 September 2021, 10:27 PM

Yes lets all boycot Rolex and buy ss Pateks and Royal Oaks instead. That will teach those f....rs. Oh wait. Boycot those as well. Hublot here i come.

rolexest · 27 September 2021, 10:54 PM

Yes everyone please boycott Rolex... so that I can buy them all

Too many words, I'm either very sorry that happened to you, or really pleased for you. Please use as necessary.

GONZO2LR · 27 September 2021, 11:52 PM

you got your Rolex right? So who are you crying for?....who's done you wrong?

Tanalasta · 27 September 2021, 11:55 PM

Umm... your friend is essentially behaving like a grey dealer except he's 'gifting' or 'selling' at 'list'. At the opportunity cost of everybody else on the AD clientele or future clientele.

Remember that the AD does not have any difficulty turning over any of their Rolex pieces that arrive. They have chosen to share the love with more than one person. How an AD chooses to do business is up to them. If a high net worth individual cannot move beyond Rolex, then the WIS in me is going to nod and move on.

lmcgbaj · 27 September 2021, 11:56 PM

This is a Rolex forum bud. LOL

Isn't this literally the definition of your friend being a "grey market dealer"?

1. Buy from an AD with the intent of selling to a third party
2. Immediately sell the watch to another person
3. Whoever was on that AD's list who has been waiting for that watch for months/years doesn't get the watch because you are the continuous "big money" for the AD.

He might not be taking a profit from his friends on the deal, but that sounds like grey market dealing to me....

Yes, you are 100% right, but was that a good reason to bring back this crappy thread to life?

Maybe he’s telling you you’re “crappy”? Ignore such negativity. Let if go. We knew, from the start, that this thread would go sideways…..

Holy Necro-thread. The guy’s boycott started 3 years ago.

Rumor has it he glued his hand to the boutique's door & wore at t-shirt that says "Steel GMT or death." Could still be there for all I know.

Mccall86 · 23 January 2024, 03:27 AM

I'm glad Rolex was able to withstand the boycott!
