Troll posts

There are at least 3 first time posts lately that I would bet are pure BS. Just keep that in mind when reading these bizarre stories. If I had my watch stolen I would at least say from where. If I acquired a watch with filed serial numbers numbers I would maybe go to an AD and have it authenticated. Also I found a Rolex. Gee what do I do? Ect.

Trolls are a part of life. I smile, make a smart-ass comment, and move on.

How about "I want to buy a Rolex to impress people. Why does the best watch in the world need to be wound? I don't have time for such things!" Best troll post of 2019

They found it that way. Now they are looking for OEM replacement parts to bring it back to it’s original form. Maybe if they send it to the service center, they will repair it

I went to an AD and we had a pleasant conversation, he told me that he would be willing to make an exception and get me next inline for an upcoming pepsi at their store. What should I do.

Best to everyone here, have a happy and safe New Years and thanks for helping me.

My son got this for me for Christmas - nice - but you know - I really don't have the time to read - so he really should have hired a servant to read to me.

AD's just love it that they have no stock and are forced to sell what they have to the grey market to stay in business.
Customers think its normal in 2020 to wait over 5 years for a common daily wear item.
They really do enjoy sucking up to their AD's simply to hold their line in the queue.
They think this process is so transparent, they just accept that their name will remain on the back of an envelope for 5 years and go back to their boring ol lives...
20% money down is perfectly acceptable on a retail product that may or may not arrive by 2025....
Customers much prefer to pay 50% more online anyway for a week old watch, than MRSP for a new one at an AD...
Rolex price rises are awesome and will solve all these problems.

Some posts are actually quite incredible but I do not judge either. If I cannot add anything positive I just say nothing.

Every forum has some degree of garbage. Luckily Rolex forums has a solid set of moderators helping us out.

I thought the same thing earlier, I wonder if we could implement a pre requisite exam to obtain membership. Tons of ridiculous threads as of late
