Sounds like trying to time the market via sneaker network.

I like fresh shrimp but don’t visit the docks hoping a shrimp boat is arriving.

Maybe those folks are “runners” - that is, people who get a fee from secondary dealers to fish for Rolexes at ADs?

In Japan they would have to switch runners pretty often. 2 years ago ADs here started a rule where you can only get 1 SS Sports Rolex per year and only 1 of the same model every 5 years. Unless the ADs turn a blind eye for the runners, they need to have new people on hire every few weeks.

Interesting.

Could it be that some of these ADs operate on first come first served basis? If so, regular customers don't stand a chance against these squatters.

Profiteers waiting on easy money. $2000-$4000 a week adds up fast.

Some people don't have a life. Sad, really.

Yet there were 7 or 8 customers in there.

So I ask the service guy “Do you have something desirable in here in the back?” “Why are all these people in here for nothing?”

His response : “Timing.” “They come in daily some of them 3 times a day everyday.” “Opening, midday and before closing hoping to be right here when a shipment arrives.”

Fug that.

that has to be a really bad joke, not make any sense at all, if you go a Rolex AD and don't see any watch but you see full of costumer ..... I bet you they are waiting to receive their watches directly from the back of the store
