AD: Flipper?
How will an AD know that people are flipping? Do they have some tracking somehow?

Rolex employs a crack team of psychics who screen every prospective buyer in conjunction with the pre-sale TSA body scan.

The new Rolex building in Geneva is being built under the strictest secrecy, several ADs have told me in private that Interpol, the CIA and FBI were all engaged as consultants.
What is lesser known is that this is actually a huge new intelligence department which will use a blend of satellite imagery, CCTV (in those countries where it’s prevalent) and cutting edge biometric facial recognition, all linked to international databases to verify who is wearing a given watch, while real-time cross checking against sales data. It is believed that this new AFT (Anti-Flip-Technology) will be operational in beta rollout by August 2022. It is rumored that Rolex is currently ironing out false positives in which wife’s or family members could occasionally wear a given watch. Both my AD intelligence contact and spy in Geneva advise that a solution is being found to this final dilemma before launching. The recent removal of buyer names on the latest warranty cards was designed as a decoy to introduce a false sense of flipper security so as to catch as many unruly flippers as possible with the new AFT (unconfirmed acronym which my contact says could change) technology.

The vaccine chip (Booster 3.0 and later) tracks all Rolex inventory and what it resells for then uploads it to the Blockchain

Simple, require repeat buyers to bring along all the watches they have bought previously before ADs sell them another

How can you tell when your AD is a flipper is the real question

Haven’t seen that done yet, but I do have good and long lasting relationships with some folks at my ADs, they’d notice if I never wore or referenced a watch I bought from them again.

Zero evidence of this. All the major secondary resellers have said the overwhelming majority of stock comes from private sellers, private collections, and estate sales.

Will be perfect for that other fella who asked the question last week if he should bring his entire Rolex collection to his AD to put him on the preferred list.

Right...all these BNIB and unworn watches with unmarked warranty cards are coming from private sellers and estates. Of course they will say this because the don't want to throw their sources under the bus should Rolex buy some of these watches and check the serial numbers. The grey dealers are getting the watches from the same place they were before the craziness started...20% of the watches do not get diverted to the grey market by individual sellers. |

Easy. If you have a blowing hole, smooth grey skin and dark eyes, enjoy salted water, you are Flipper.
