I’m over this thread . If you people can’t handle one persons opinion and it leads to creepy faceless online behavior. Run to your AD tomorrow and hug ‘em where it helps .

OP’s venom is a bit excessive, but it’s at least somewhat the reality of CPO for current models. However, if you’re buying anything out of production, for example a 1016, 5513, or 1675 - models that are often heavily bastardized - CPO is the closest thing we’ve got to Rolex certified vintage sales.

I walked into an out of town AD . Looked into a case containing CPO watches and was given the story of the CPO watches and their magical journey . I wasn’t interested or looking for anything and have enough Rolex watches . The candy coated crap-fest just made me think what a load , then I was told the asking price for middling watches . Thought I’d say something about my experience and wow the torch bearers were sharpening their swords . Hope you had a fun Sunday butting heads .

So, guys, who won the Masters tournament today? I’m guessing it was not Tiger.

I have no problem with a rant and I’ll never get in the way of a good one.
I saw their game plan a couple years ago when they announced it. I visited the AD around that time and they informed me that Rolex was requiring them to build out an expensive CPO retail operation. I’ve happened by their offerings a few times since and I’ve never really seen anything that struck my fancy. Apparently, your AD is not reading you. My AD knew within the first 10 seconds that I was not a CPO customer. I haven’t been redirected once since our first CPO discussion. |

The CPO program is for certain people and if they choose to buy through it that is their choice. Just business.

I agree. It's the Rolex response to a healthy demand for their product - much higher demand that their production capacity. But not for everyone. It has a premium price for their guarantee against scammers in the secondary market. - Protects customers of their brand from inauthentic or modified models. - Protects customers from buying a stolen watch. - CPO comes with a 2yr warranty. If one adds the cost/risk of servicing to the price at trusted resellers, it isn't that bad for worry free CPO. Just like a CPO Merc. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

The OP is right about the CPO program. A lot of you are so blinded, cries of "capitalism!", etc. Sycophant is the perfect word for some of you when it comes to your AD.
Also words have many meanings. Imagine being so triggered by a word with a plethora of meanings. Maybe buy a dictionary. Some of you need to either get thicker skin or stay off of the interwebs. |

And it’s true that words have multiple meanings. Take the word Obtuse for instance as it applies to you. Context also has meaning. |

For any product, when the market price exceeds the recommended retail sales price, people will try to increase their revenues. If one can sell preowned watches at market price, with the added benefit of Rolex service and two year warranty, it seems clear to me that this is a reasonable practice. If market price falls below the retail price, then resellers will be the beneficiaries. Just the way a free market works.

Look at Tourneau. They are Rolex. They will sell a used BLNR to one poor sap for way more than the new one they manufacture and have in inventory and sell to someone else. That is not a free market. In a free market, both would sell for the same amount.
OP has a very solid point. |

Free Market = "Price should be fixed and mandated" That is a heck of a hot take
