OP got 2 watches and took advantage of the current climate and flipped one. I'm sure more people than would be willing to admit around here would do the same.

It strikes me that we are a small group of enthusiasts that dissect every word and speculate about scenarios about availability and shortages. At the end of the day, I really wonder how many people decide they want a Rolex, walk in to an AD and pick one to buy or order a specific configuration. If they happen to be wanting a hard to get SS reference, I suspect they don’t buy or buy something else and live happily ever after. ADs are businesses and their sales tactics will vary like in any business.

@bavariandoc it's your thread. You were called out on posting about some duplicate watches.
If those accusing you are not correct now is your chance to explain.

I wouldn't be surprised that 90% of the people on the waitlist are flippers.

Maybe one day it turns back around where the buyer has a little bit of pull in the situation, but that day's not coming anytime soon. |

That was the point. Were you upfront with the AD at the time of the purchase that you would be selling it above retail the next day? You said some AD's were not being honest with you about BLNR deliveries. Did you tell all the AD's you were on 20 WL? The issue is less that you flipped the watch and more that you are doing the same thing you are accusing AD's of... not being upfront and being a bit shady with the whole process Deposits are almost always refundable

This is hilarious.
It's funny how many of these threads have come up the past few months whose originators are people that get caught pulling some kind of flipping move like this (I recall a Daytona situation like this a few months ago). OP - you got two BLNRs within a short amount of time. People across the pond are being told over a year or more (or no available waitlist at all) for the same watch. It's your right to feel upset about whatever you want, but don't be surprised if you don't find people receptive to your grievances here. |

Your upset because someone followed up with you and tried to do their job?

Also, weren't the travel expenses associated with the watch you kept, which you opted to pay so you could get it sooner? Why tack them on to the sale of the second watch? |

Based on low post count and join date, I’d guess OP joined TRF to flip a watch.

It isn't the worst thing. I guess because it is a BLNR people view it as making a profit, though in reality you may have come out a couple hundred bucks ahead. Certainly, I don't think anyone would expect that you would sell at a loss. The question is whether you would have done the same on a BLRO or Daytona. In others words, if you ended up with two Daytonas, would one sell the extra one at a couple hundred dollars profit. If so, I see no issue with selling a watch for a couple hundred more than retail to someone who really wants it.

Whether or not that is wrong is a matter of perspective, but I think a lot of people here take a dim view of it. Perhaps the person he sold it to "really wanted it," but wouldn't the person next on the list rightly have dibs for having waited so long? At the very least, what he did is a direct contradiction of what he claimed several months ago in another thread: Quote:

I appreciate your input but it’s not really valuable nor helps anyone here on TRF in any way All you doing here is assuming, accusing, guessing things and dissecting my previous threads/replies trying to show as I am somewhere somehow contradicting myself. Not much success as if you only pay attention to my initial thread, you will see that I did let both ADs know I am no longer in market for one. to break it down further for you, this means to remove me from waiting list With that being said and all due respect, give us all a break... |

If nothing else, your posts serve as an object lesson in gaslighting. That's got to be some kind of service to the rest of the members here.
