Rolex withdraws from South Africa
The Rolex Watch Company SA is closed.Location: Johannesburg .
Rolex was officially in South Africa since 1948 Rolex will still be available from the retail dealer network . Dealers will now deal directly with Geneva . Servicing at one of the dealers,it seems . " As reported by News24, the luxury Swiss watch manufacturer is closing its office because the local markets and conjuncture have changed, no longer warranting the presence of an official Rolex affiliate. " Businesstech ,17 May 2024 I am surprised,to say the least . |

Unfortunate. What would the practical impact of their exit be? AD network would still exist, and assume watches still as difficult as ever to get?

Rolex is not withdrawing from South Africa. Rolex is still very
