I was talking to my local jeweler about why he didn't get a dealership (No AD for 40 miles and he is the largest jeweler in the area). He said all of the above plus Rolex expected him to carry Rolex inventory valued at xx% of the stores annual sales. He wouldn't tell me the percentage but he said it would be phone number sized and he just couldn't do it.

The one AD I frequent, recently bought land and built their own new store and in order to maintain their dealership Rolex had to approve their building plans, even down to having to change the location of electrical panels, etc. because that is where Rolex wanted their counters and displays to be.
