Former SA spills the beans...

He has a Go Fund Me page for the victims of the Lahaina fire, but it’s in his personal name. I don’t believe he is legit. He makes money on YouTube clicks. When he saw how many clicks he got on the first one, he quickly added a second one. He also moved up from an SA in the first one to Asst. Mgr. in the second one. Click bait, indeed!

Many of us on the "wait list" play the game of checking in and making nice small talk, and giving our SA the benefit-of-the-doubt, while the reference we seek may actually be in "the vault" just waiting for the right situation or additional non Rolex purchases.
I just have a hard time believing that. Anyone doing any business knows that you don’t sit on things that you can sell today with a vague promise of selling more tomorrow. I’m sure all sorts of stuff happens here and there but I can’t see how that would be the norm.
The math is pretty simple: every dolt at the moment apparently wants a Rolex. The bigger and blingier and “rarer” the better obviously. Rolex makes about 1 million watches every year. A good portion of that these days goes straight to the “developing world”. Exact mix of models produced is unknown.
Bottom line is: there is a shortage because of high demand. Everything that comes in has several buyers. I don’t think too many people really go buy tennis bracelets and junk to get a sub.
