I have purchased seven Rolex’s. My most recent is from an AD. The other 6 were from a variety of Rolex avenues.

Somehow I just feel more comfortable.

All of my purchases have been from AD's. My first Rolex was from an AD in Japan when the Yen was weak, so it came out to be cheaper than going grey here. My Rolex is somewhat in demand, so going grey would cost more.
My other two non-Rolex purchases, I got a decent enough discount from the AD that going grey for unworn or like new condition pieces would not have saved me that much more.

dpt.calvin · 22 November 2020, 12:27 PM

Yes.

Does the comfort come from paying MSRP instead of over?

RDT-G23 · 22 November 2020, 12:29 PM

All of mine (6) from an AD

Malum · 22 November 2020, 12:34 PM

2 from AD 2 , 2 pre-owned , pre-owned purchased long before the insanity.

HiDive · 22 November 2020, 12:46 PM

I have only bought from AD's or individuals that I trusted. I won't pay over retail.

fgress3969 · 22 November 2020, 01:02 PM

2 from AD

Yess · 22 November 2020, 01:10 PM

Two, about to be three, from the AD.

PBJ1925 · 22 November 2020, 01:11 PM

1 from AD (Sub).

henrylee · 22 November 2020, 01:14 PM

3 from ADs, only grey was my 16710 but that was because it had been discontinued long ago.

grimps · 22 November 2020, 01:33 PM

I've probably owned over 25 Rolex and still have 15 , All of mine were purchased from an AD most from my local AD that I've been using for 10 years.
I can now get just about any Rolex I want within a few months so my loyalty seems to have paid off

drhr · 22 November 2020, 01:36 PM

Before all this craziness, always grey . . . recently paid MSRP plus sales tax for 2 Oyster Perpetuals, still way less than what grey have been listing them for. Nuts . . .

edingotham · 22 November 2020, 02:47 PM

all AD

dpt.calvin · 22 November 2020, 02:58 PM

It seems somewhat a badge of honor now to buy from an AD. IOw, pay retail. But for most, what is the “real” cost of retail? Including buying things you don’t really want.

I’ve bought from an AD before the madness. The “experience” is overrated.

cvo · 22 November 2020, 02:59 PM

Only AD so I only pay Retail or less.

moneymike83 · 22 November 2020, 03:02 PM

All my Rolex purchase is from ads. My Tudor pelagos was from eBay.

Every watch I’ve purchased has come from a brick and mortar AD.

MrJKLFoams · 22 November 2020, 03:59 PM

Yes all from my lovely AD!
2017- 114060

ChugachEagle · 22 November 2020, 05:06 PM

2/3 AD. Have a fantastic AD.

1/3 DavidSW.

1 Watch on Chrono... went fine but won't do that again. Was more stressful, and the Chrono fee I thought was crazy.

WestCoastS · 23 November 2020, 01:01 AM

Both of mine are from a AD 1 I will use for life now.

CJS57 · 23 November 2020, 01:19 AM

Not at an AD. Purchased my 214060 at a Grey dealer at abut $3K over retail. At 74 and cancer survivor I just do everything I want to Now rather that Later is why.

Rushhour · 23 November 2020, 01:29 AM

As respects Rolex - both Z blue Milgauss and TT CHNR from same AD with no previous purchase history with them.

For Christmas this year just went back to them for jewelry for the wife.

They have my loyalty.

My ND Sub from a grey right before things went crazy on prices. My BLRO from an AD, and my DSSD from Auction.

jcatral14 · 23 November 2020, 02:22 AM

First Rolex years ago preowned from a friend. Then 2 new from 2 different ADs with no purchase history in Sept and Oct

Snoop_ · 23 November 2020, 04:10 AM

One

and done purchased Sub ND 114060 in San Diego,CA. I live in the Washington DC area with all the $$$ I can’t compete with the rich and elite here. I asked AD in Washington DC area and they laugh at you if you don’t have prior history the small mom and pop shops were best chance but Rolex took away there AD status.

All from ADs...one overseas (Bahrain) and two from different local ADs in California.

Dirt · 23 November 2020, 06:15 AM

I much prefer to deal with my AD as it's always worked best for me on a number of levels without fail
