Such a meaningful cause. Forget about feeding the third world. Let’s make Rolex pay for insulting this high roller. How dare this AD not move him to the front of the line every time he requests a watch they’ve already sold him!

I find your outrage quite childish and silly so I have decided that I will not be joining your boycott.

Good point!
And if you didn’t realise this already:
This whole thread is a joke, based on true situation.
No one cares anymore, Rolex has lost all of its interest on people. They are rude to AD’s and don’t give a f. on their customers.

Thanks for sharing your story. I owned a couple of Omega watches in the past but they didn't last.
For me Rolex stays my favourite brand (together with Tudor, Panerai, Breitling or Cartier)

Do you boycott women when one turns you down too?

Boo hoo, not getting sympathy from me for telling a story that’s not even yours.

I’ve boycotted women for three decades..
Boo hoo, I don’t need your sympathy.
It’s my mates story, so it is mine.
And I’ve got some arrogant client service from Rolex AD’s in the last years. We are not alone with these experiences.

You boycotted women for 3 decades? Why? Are you 90 years old? Or just married?

So many wonderful watches out there, Girard Perragaux, Glasshutte Original, etc. Why not take a hiatus from Rokex and explore other avenues until the current situation calms down, if it ever does.

No need to burn your bridges or encourage others to follow. Leave the door open.

From now on I will boycott Rolex: Please join me.

My wife’s company gives out Rolex for achievements. She received 2 already. I would like to boycott but the other deal is too sweet.


The true “Rolex experience” is the waiting game depending on your spending. Nothing to get salty over.

I still like these watches. I am lucky to have some and hope I can get some more. I would boycott them why? I think I’ll keep waiting for the ADs I have communicated with to call. Until then, I can boycott Patek for being so expensive.

Beware! Rolex is monitoring you and they will torment your AD, because they’ve sold you 3. It is against the rules: only 2/year /customer. They will come after you…

This is a sad joke. Look at us. Whining here and Rolex is laughing at us.
People don’t have the power anymore. No matter what we do. Rolex just don’t care.
