Forced to return Rolex...

[Marcjvr]

If you buy a Rolex, and you don’t put it through its paces in life, Rolex should force you to return it.

Some reasons for returning it are:

• Only ever worn with a suit, in a business setting
• No scratches on your Rolex
• You are too scared to remove links/screws yourself
• It only lives in a safe
• You bought it as an “investment”
• You bought it to impress other people
• You think the hang tag is equally important as your watch
• Your Rolex diver has never been in the ocean

Who else agrees Rolex should enforce this policy?

[Heff]

Nah. People can do what they want with their watches.

Absolutely, friend!

Rolex should send its police force to peoples’ homes to make sure those people after spending $9,000 or more use the watches as Rolex directs!

There is a Nobel Peace Prize in your future, sir!

[Marcjvr]

To all the grumpy “stick in the mud” replies thus far...please tell me you guys tick at least 1 of the boxes?!?!?

Otherwise if you are that boring, you may keep your Rolexes but you have to post at least 1 fun reply on TRF in 2020...

Noneya. As in what boxes I check isn't anybody's business. Nobody helped me pay for my Rolex and nobody is going to tell me when and how I can wear it. Good grief!!!!

Intended to be a fun tongue in cheek reminder that Rolexes are built to handle everything life can throw at them, and should be used that way.

Apologies if I ruined your day

I think what you are seeing are responses to a childish posting. To be amusing, it would need to be a bit more sophisticated.

Let's see how beaten up yours are, then. Presumably, you've fought off a great white, while arc welding on an oil-rig at about 60m?

BTW, I don't think Rolex gives a crap if people take care of them or not.
If it's beaten up, they make more on service; if it's pristine, there's hardly any work to do. Win/win for them.

Yes! lol. I don't agree with the Rolex return policy, but sports cars need to be DRIVEN!!

joking of course, I don't really care.

[swils8610]

I wear a DeepSea Sea Dweller. I’ll never dive with it. The most it will ever be is maybe 6 feet under water. No, I’m not giving it back.

Yes 8x hahah. I love a high mileage watch. Wear it and enjoy it. I’ve seen people baby things and it’s kinda sad. If you are too concerned about your watch, maybe its not something you should have purchased.

Always funny how people on this forum have no sense of humor and actually think the guy is being serious.Lighten up people hes bored and trying to have fun,no big deal.Most Rolex owners seem very uptight and not fun at all.

This!

I participate in the threads that others open but very rare for me to open one or ask a question. I would be afraid of being burned at the stake!!!!!

Answering in the tone of the OP, it is sad that some lose the sense of a Rolex: A mechanical sports watch that supports your entire life. But is your property, then if someone want to loose the oportunity of enjoy it is only your choice.

Agree fully. However the mix of folks and posts on this forum tells me your going to get some defensive if not hostile replies as I bet maybe 75-80% here in this forum would have all those boxes checked and have to return their watch lol.

As my Alabama Mom used to say in her deep southern draw, “well bless your heart!”

[myc ritz]

That would be an extremely good use of their time.
