Rolex Salespeople Buying Hot Watches For Themselves

[watchlover576]

Came across this interesting post about a sneaky tactic Rolex salespeople may be using to buy hot watches themselves to sell on the gray market.

From a Reddit thread on r/scams:

"Buddy wants me to buy a Rolex with his money. Apparently, one of his sibling works at a a Rolex store but employees and their family members are not allowed to make any store purchases. So he wants me to open an Rolex Store account under my name, and he’ll give me the $9,500 to buy the watch."

If true, this seems awfully shady.
