Rolex ADs

Does Rolex choose the cities where the put ADs or does a jewler call and inquire about becoming a AD. Does Rolex have special requirements about where the ADs go. I was wondering because the town I live in does not have one. I am trying to figure out why, even if we are a relatively small town of about 60,000 people. We are a college town though so that brings in more people.

Thanks, Tyler

P.S. What happens if you take the sticker off the back of a submariner or any of the watches. I know its a stupid question but I was wondering if taking the sticker off would affect the watches water proof ability or anything. I doubt it but im just curious. lol

I can't talk to the AD issue, but I do know that if you remove the sticker from the back of any Rolex, the watch will fall apart and stop working within 24 hours. Also it will lose it's entire resale value.

And don't let any of these other bozos try to tell you otherwise. They know not of what they will speak. Trust me on this one, bbduck.

Hey Tyler,

Thank your lucky stars you didn't ask this question on the other forum. A guy like Dave Knoll would have had a field day mincing you into little pieces.

But on a more serious note, do whatever you will with the sticker. Some decide to just leave it on and die a natural death....some like to peel it off carefully and stick it on the top of their warranty sheets. No worries.

JJ
