Each AD is it’s own business with it’s own identity, and it’s own mission.

If you don’t like the service or services from a specific AD, find another one. It’s that simple. People have no right to demand every store offers the exact services that they require just because it suits the customer to be in that store. Authentications and buying/selling used watches are a good example of this since many ADs don’t touch these with a barge pole.

It’s easy to have grand ideas about how other people should run their business. How many here have gone out and put their ideas in to action, spent the millions required to set up a watch store that carries Rolex, just so they can achieve the ultimate goal of doing little jobs for free to ‘enthusiasts’...anyone?
What retailer ever stayed in business not looking after 100% their enthusiast clientele?

The arrogance of your post is amazing..

SO you think this AD/Grey market flipper thing is going to go on forever eh??
