Reading the novelties of Tudor, I read this:

Quote:

Five year Guarantee
Five-year transferable guarantee with no registration or periodic maintenance checks required

https://www.tudorwatch.com/en/watche...ro/m79470-0001

Is it the hint that Rolex has an idea to introduce stricter Guarantee rules for its watches? Non transferable + periodic checks required?
Have you heard/read anything about it?

Roger Lococco · 17 April 2022, 02:25 AM

I don’t think Rolex cares much about flippers.

You’re reading way too much into this.

VegasBaby · 17 April 2022, 02:31 AM

Lol!!!

Vigilante24 · 17 April 2022, 02:34 AM

I’m assuming Rolex would not go down the road of making warranty non-transferable or “periodic checks”. Unnecessary policing I think.

rambo99 · 17 April 2022, 03:17 AM

rolex love to see their sport watches are selling at a premium in the grey market. they can benefit from it by asking AD to stock more non sport watches before giving them a sought after model.

Time Out · 17 April 2022, 03:31 AM

Rolex don't care when flippers make money

Rolex also wont care when flippers lose their azzes when the market takes a big down stroke and they lose tons of money.

Rolex only cares about selling new product and being relevant.

Periodic checks? LOL.

Rolex makes one million watches a year - and soon to be more - they really don't care. These are mass produced watches, not one-off masterpieces.

beshannon · 17 April 2022, 03:40 AM

Why would Rolex make more work for themselves when they sell every watch they make and could sell more?

Meyrin · 17 April 2022, 03:44 AM

I may be wrong, but I think that Rolex couldn't give two hoots about how their watches are sold on after they've been paid for and have left Geneva! Rolex are purely in the business to make tons of money and market their products, nothing else counts. They're a hard-headed Swiss company. Rolex will know about about flippers, of course, but couldn't care less, imho!

Nidal · 17 April 2022, 07:21 AM

The secondary market value is what drives the hype for many. It helps Rolex remain a hot brand.
AD makes money, flippers make money and gray make money.
It’s good business.
Few are true collectors. Been collecting for over ten years. Now I can’t get what I want with it becoming purely business

Exactly...Rolex sells watches and no one cares what happens to the watch after the sale. No different from a dealer that sells cars. Buy a Porsche at msrp and flip it...no difference.

Marcjvr · 17 April 2022, 08:01 AM

Reading this thread makes me want to become a flipper

LVx2 · 17 April 2022, 08:08 AM

No hint by them.

Complete fabrication by you.

Ummmm, with respect, your post reminds me of tabloid journalism. Video guys jump the shark all the time on 'reading into things' for clickbait.

Thank you Semone.

Their is nothing they can do, they have no control, nor do they care.

Have we even seen any major indications that Rolex considers flipping to be their problem that needs to be addressed by their action(s)?

Rolex doesn't care about flippers, why would they? All this hype just helps them.

ColdWater · 17 April 2022, 03:06 PM

The secondary market is an unfunded distribution network for Rolex that they rely heavily on to fulfill their goal of value appreciation for their watches.

The greys do the hard, dirty work of hyping references, haggling with all sorts, and fine tuning the market.

If you all think there's some majesty to watch making that needs to be preserved you're looking at things wrong.

Rolex simply wants what every mass producer of tangible assets wants:

The second your credit card gets approved you've made a financial windfall.

Demand through the roof!

rolex went from names on cards to no names on cards... how much do you think they care?

Why would they care, they are selling every single watch they make. If they cared, they’d raise prices to match market values.

Rrpdc · 18 April 2022, 12:53 AM

Rolex is not concerned about flippers. If they did they would not have updated the new cards, now they do not show name of Rolex ad that sold the watch. This just helps the gray market disguise the AD that sold the watch.

They should be more concerned about the ad’s that also preowned ‘estate watches . Many of these watches are sold to friend of the SA then “ traded or sold back “. Sitting in the preowned. Walk-in and see gmt Pepsi, gmt meteorite., Batman, batgirl, op 41 various colors, Meanwhile the same AD has no watches to sell at retail.

MILGAUSS88 · 18 April 2022, 01:21 AM

Rolex created the flippers by restricting the number of dealers.
It has shown that it wants the grey dealers to continue by discontinuing the new OP41s in all the popular colors.
The grey dealers were the only ones that benefited by that move.
At this point I question why the even have AD's.
