Time to turn the tables! Next time just laugh over the phone and let them know that many dealers have called to sell watches. Be polite of course. Offer to put them on "the list".

This has be a tad frustrated as I have to wait longer to get my 1st Rolex now. But I completely understand why ADs are closed to stop potential spread of virus. I can respect that Rolex won’t see online but wish they would have during this unprecedented time.

[Mr. Miami]

And I understand this is a 1st world problem. People are more worried about how to provide for their families during this time.

I would think any AD would sell and ship a new Rolex online if they choose, they'd have to swipe the card though. I'd ask mine if I wanted something, no harm there.

Rolex doesn’t care and I salute them for sticking to their boutiques and whole buyer experience, even despite the current blip on the retail radar.

I think in the short term it would have helped AD's during the pandemic. I sincerely hope you are right and this is only a "blip" but it is not looking that way so far.

Sorry to get away from the subject. I work in the healthcare field also and it’s true that watches may be the last thing I should worry about, but this forum provides a few minutes of mental rest and distraction from what I am facing and what I am about to face- everyday.
Going from being a Cath lab nurse one minute to being a resource nurse on floors with or without covid patients the next minute is,well, indescribable collage of feelings and stress which I would not wish upon anyone. I can only imagine how the ER crew/ Paramedic/ EMT / Fire Department and police officers feel being truly out in the frontline. And not to mention all the people who work in the grocery stores and etc.
And when this pandemic is over and hopefully it does not take me down, believe me, I will buy another Rolex- hopefully I can miraculously find a Pepsi - to remember what we had all gone through. Thank you everyone for posting.

I would certainly like to see frontline workers pushed to the top of the list for hot models, and given a thank you discount too.

One thing this pandemic does is highlight which people and companies have some moral fibre and which do not, hopefully the people and karma will remember it later.

Panerai 23: You are to be commended for the work you are doing during this stressful and difficult time. Hopefully you will be able to get your Pepsi in recognition of the service you have rendered to the community. I think your AD should grant you an automatic advancement to the top of the list, regardless of previous history, bundling, and whatever other criteria they have. To add icing to the cake, the AD should give you 15% off MSRP.
