It was 33 pieces, not 33 Rolex pieces.
If you had bought 20 Hublots over 2 years, I’m sure there would be no issues getting a couple of Daytonas allocated to you.

Plus it could be for friends, family, business associates etc.

It has been 2 years since the pandemic , don’t tell me you still don’t know the name of the game.

And they claim ADs don’t supply the grey market out of the back door.

If it’s true that Rolex crack down on this sort of behaviour, hopefully they will do some research into the behaviour of this AD

And sharing their complete inventory with this person?

All this, during the last two years of the highest demand ever for these watches?

Sorry, I’m not buying it.

Yes I know its hard to believe
I hope you can read between the lines on whats happening here

Since you are so forth coming on info what's the AD's cut when you flip them?


Is it a straight percentage or does it vary based on the cost amount?

Long time lurker here, but I've never posted! Relevant to this discussion... Have the last deliveries to ADs been made for 2022 already? i.e., no chance of getting something one's been waiting on until 2023 at this point?

I don’t believe these numbers for a second - especially 20-22 GMT per year. I know for a fact that’s nonsense.

As for 33 pieces per year. I smell BS.

It’s usually a bundle deal of panerais, omegas, jewelry, tudor

Only two instances on a “cut” when it came to platinum Daytona baguette baguette dials and 4th ss daytona

Overall they are running a business and utilizing rolex to maximize and move other stuff

All of this has to vary with the AD.

My 100 year old Albany,NY AD gets the same allocation as the one at the Bellagio or one in NYC or Beverly Hills?

Many unknowns but it has to be significantly different IMHO
