If it was Submariners they only command a few grand over retail on the grey market. This isn't Roger Federer.

No, he has the juice. Unlike Federer, he still has to pay for his Rolexes, instead of having them arrive gratis alongside his seven-figure checks, but he certainly has the juice.

Rolex may not have an official relationship with the NFL, nor use football players as ambassadors, but trust me, they love the idea of a star quarterback giving their watches as gifts to his groomsmen.

I would guess he went to an AD, and the AD then contacted Rolex who made it happen. As others said it is good business for them. I remember one time a AD sent Ellen a watch just because she asked for it on air.

Pretty sure they were just scared of her. She had a reputation as an absolute tyrant.

Not got a clue who Patrick Mahomes is, but I’m chuffed to bits for him.

He lead the Chiefs to a Superbowl victory and has a 500 million dollar contract - he’s a “Super VIP.” Those are the type of fellas who rate AD Rolexes these days.
