Rolex cufflinks coming to america!

For those who wear suits and blazers with French cuff shirts -
I went to a great NYC Rolex AD (I can’t disclose the name) and saw some of the new cufflinks. There will be a total of 9 PM models to start and a few even glow in the dark! Prices are $6,000 USD plus tax. There are no Platinum models yet…
I am now first on the waiting list for two different models that aren’t available yet and I will definitely put up pix (with the appropriate PM Rolex to match) when my orders get fulfilled. Hopefully within 90 days……We shall see.

Can’t imagine cufflinks matching the Rolex style.

Sounds like something you'd have found in a box of breakfast cereal in the 1970s.

I sure do, but only discovered them on my first trip to the USA, which co-incidentally was 40 years ago today (NYC).

Can't imagine any reason I'd want to wear Rolex cuff links.

Hmmm… An OP 36 for $6000 or a set of official Rolex cuff links for $6000… Decisions, decisions…

Good on you for having the security to do that. I personally couldn’t justify spending $500 on a pair of cuff links. Especially considering I have a box full of them that only gets picked out of a few times a year.

My local AD said the Rolex cuff links are in extremely high demand and reserved for the top tier of their VVIPs. He said he’d do me a big favor and get me a pair though.

Of course he did. That is Rolex’s new way. Name me one thing from Rolex that isn’t supposedly highest demand these day. This game is played out.

OP, get yourself a financial advisor or a wife who'll pull you by your ears out of that AD.

I'm a collector of everything Rolex. Caps, wallets, pens, Swiss knives, magnifying glasses and loops, etc. There is no way I would wear any Rolex cufflinks or caps or others as I feel it's a bit cheesy. That applies to other watch brands too.

Have to agree Brian and IMHO anyone paying those prices must be sixpence short of a shilling of have more money than sense.
