Well the USA is NOT their largest market anymore... If I am not mistaken I believe the Asian market is quite a bit larger than the USA. If it is not already it will be very soon for Rolex.

Back to the OP will NEVER happen

Asia is not a county. The USA is. You cannot compare the USA sales with a large continent.

Ok so the US is deeply,I mean deeply in debt. So we are now number two instead of number one. Man I hate even saying that. We are still number two,and our market is way to large to be ignored.

No more Rolex watches. I don't think so.

As the dollar gets weaker, tourism should be good which should help retail sales here? Maybe!

Doesn't matter, enough tourists come to the US for shopping sprees anyway.
