theres no easy way to say this but- Ive decided I want to see other people. I just don't feel appreciated and taken for granted. Im not sure if it was that one night stand I had with Omega or what but this just isn't working anymore. You will always be very special to me and Id like to remain friends but I think it best if I move on and You as well (whoops, you did years ago).

Rick/ INVESTR

P.S. call me if you get a Pepsi tho.....

superdog · 9 November 2019, 03:27 AM

Lmao.

Good one.

Especially that last bit. That was as funny as can be.

platinum574 · 9 November 2019, 03:28 AM

Just buy grey like me, enjoy life. No time to wait

JayHantz · 9 November 2019, 03:29 AM

Awesome letter, Rick! Love the "one night stand with Omega"

Investr · 9 November 2019, 03:33 AM

Rolex just left me 2 messages! Playin' hard to get.....

LuminousMaximus · 9 November 2019, 03:36 AM

So, If I understand this correctly,

You sleep with your watches on, and you want ROLEX to join in...?

Dude, I'm not sure I would have said that in the open Forum...

But, I feel the same way!!

DaninFlorida · 9 November 2019, 03:46 AM

great letter!

Nikrnic · 9 November 2019, 03:51 AM

I had sloppy seconds with the Omega it didn't look good in the morning and had to throw it out of bed.

Yeah- just throw another $9,000 on top of the $9,250 list for the BLRO!

Cmon Rick!!! You are a TRF Legend getting the first White Dial CE Daytona. Dont lose hope

CalSRQ1 · 9 November 2019, 05:02 AM

P.S. thank you for not flooding the market and taking the quick and easy money route, thereby gutting the value of the brand and my collection. I’m not in it for the money or to flip, but do appreciate being able to sell something when the mood strikes me.

Sounds like a discount broker commission commercial.

And don't forget to get your steel tested. 904L causes bad rashes in some lovers.

sfer · 9 November 2019, 05:27 AM

I love Rolex, but I own other brands. Explore what's out there!

jinikari01 · 9 November 2019, 05:28 AM

You know that phrase. It's not you, but it's really is you(Rolex). No BS. LOL.

Oxfordian · 9 November 2019, 05:29 AM

Its nice having different watches other than Rolex in a collection, there is plenty of choice out there.

JayG · 9 November 2019, 05:29 AM

well played!!

Some of the big honking AP ROOs are a bit much. However, the regular Royal Oak's - "jumbo" or time/date watches are quite sublime. I am so glad I was able to get a blue dial 15300 a few years ago. It's a keeper.

schoolboy · 9 November 2019, 06:44 AM

Don’t forget to say “it not ME it’s YOU”

Danny83 · 9 November 2019, 06:46 AM

Nooooooo Rick you cant do that !!!!!!

David5807 · 9 November 2019, 06:53 AM

Sorry things didn't work out

Chiboy · 9 November 2019, 06:59 AM

Dear Rick,

If you really loved me like you said you did, you wouldn’t put a price tag on our relationship. And you wouldn’t pressure me to commit before I’m ready. You’re just like everyone else who walks in the door — says all the right things, but doesn’t really mean them.

WatchLurv · 9 November 2019, 06:59 AM

A lot of people have moved on and hoping for the call one day.

This is what Rolex is doing. Trying to shun themselves from the masses. Are they becoming some sort of haute horology company? If so they should probably start cutting ADs down to 100 worldwide.

Rolex is an organization run by !@#$ (too explicit for this forum). They aren't easy to deal with, in truth, they are what you'd compare to the guy with the mustache in the 40s.

locutus49 · 9 November 2019, 07:07 AM

Well, they have been transitioning from a tool watch company to a luxury brand for quite some time. This is reflected in both the prices and the styles. Rolex probably does not mind working-class buyers (like me, when I worked) but I believe they are targeting an upper middle class demographic. Like Patek's target audience (just look at their ads).
