From now on I will boycott Rolex: Please join me.

[ShougekiMaru]

This is just too much: the way Rolex is treating all the AD’d and us, the customers, is not acceptable.
My long time friend in Europe has been buying like over twenty or so (mainly Rolexes) from one AD over the years. We are talking some serious money: tens of thousands of USD/EUR. He has been also giving watches as presents to people close to him and has helped friends to get their dream watch, list price.
Rolex has been scaring the sh** out of the AD in the last two years in similar ways as we’ve been reading other stories on this forum and watching vids over YouTube: ”you will loose your privilege to sell Rolex watches if any of your clients is flipping hot models…” and all these new rules: ”from now on: only two watches /year /client…”
This AD wrote an email to my friend where they said that they can’t no longer sell Rolex watches to my friend, because he has been buying too many watches from them. What a joke!!! I did see the email and it was hilarious: the AD said that they are afraid of loosing their licence to sell Rolexes, and that my friend has been over the top with his purchases. The tone of the email was nasty and the AD blamed one of his best customers trying to ruin AD’s business. That my friend has been too greed buying all these watches.
My friend has been all the time very open and honest if he’s been buying into his own collection or to his spouse or friend or child. No flipping.
First the AD agreed to sell very willingly and now they are blaming their top client buying too much.
Rolex managed to create fears into the AD’s mind and the AD acted out like a scary child.
And then this silly recent Rolex statement, where this non-profit company lies to us…
All this sh** around the buying experience has ruined the brand called Rolex.
I won’t participate any longer into this R-sh**.
I flipped my Sky-D, I will keep only my D Blue—but not because of the brand, but because of the story of Cameron’s diving.
I bought a new Omega—no longer Rolexes for me.
Rolex can kiss my skinny… you know.
Please share your own bad experiences and join into my boycott.

I’m glad they cut him off. “Helping friends get their dream watch at list”. Enjoy your Omega.

They accepted this and were very happy to get new clients many years…

Yeah, he was flipping them

[Chewbacca]

I get your frustration. I’m more or less simply confused that they essentially surrender so much for so little — since by their own admission they’re not selling ‘more’ and they want to sell an experience and achievement.

Congrats on the Omega. It’s a stunner of a sport watch.

So you are mad about the current state of the Rolex "situation" so you flipped you Sky D.....

[pepe01]

Why 1 person buy many watches.
He only use just few at a time.

If he want to buy for friends, let his friends come to buy by themselves.

Flippers of new watch is just a profit markup middleman. If flippers can get watch from abroad at lower price and sell to customer lower than MSRP, it is benefit of flippers.

However I prefer to buy from AD and own the first hand full price, than buy at discount from someone unauthorised.

If your boycott project make Rolex AD seriously select real users and apply ROLEX strick new rules.
I support your boycott project because it will eliminate flippers.

Too much word salad in a single run on sentence.

Seems to me that Rolex is esentially boycotting itself which is fine with me. Far too many beautiful watches and superior watch brands to look at.

The AD sold him many years. It seems that it is wrong to buy too much? You’re Bad customer, if you buy…

- the people buying lots of the same Rolex steel models over and over again from certain ADs aren't selling them for list price to their friends.

The Omega Planet Ocean is a great watch, enjoy it!

Do you, enjoy!

If you really want your protest to mean something you and your friend should lay all of your Rolexes on the concrete and rent a steam roller and then drive over them and crush them.

Actually my friend will destroy couple and he will post a vid of this…
I have only one no—too emotionally attached to destroy or sell it…

You say your friend has bought over twenty or so (mainly Rolex) over the years. You make no reference to him / her buying jewellery. I wonder if the AD is also thinking future Rolex sales may be better used on customers that will also buy jewellery?
