Called an AD today looking for stock and pricing on a YM Rhodium.
Sad part is no stock, and no discount.
Apparently it's a very hard watch to get. " I can get you a blue one anytime, but the rhodium not so much"
On another note, he mentioned that they call it the " Bruce Willis".
He came into the shop and liked it and bought 3. One for himself, his assistant, and the director. Still took Bruce Willis 3 months to get them.

I guess I don't have as much clout as Bruce Willis.

Do you think it will catch on?

emersm · 2 December 2017, 07:33 AM

I don’t.

Loevhagen · 2 December 2017, 07:33 AM

No.

If that should happen agains all odds - I'll buy a Honda and put it on my BBQ.

MonBK · 2 December 2017, 07:55 AM

Honda dinner sounds good.

shoprlx · 2 December 2017, 07:56 AM

Dont think so

JoeG74536 · 2 December 2017, 09:39 AM

Been to several ADs in the past month or so and I've heard it called the "Bruce Willis" twice.

SAAS · 2 December 2017, 09:57 AM

The homeless guy in my neighborhood calls me Bruce Willis. Hey Bruce have a dollar? He’s been in the neighborhood for a long time and used to call me Jason it was quit the ego hit when he aged me to Bruce. He must like my shaved head lol

AK797 · 2 December 2017, 10:07 AM

Hope it's true, interesting choice for Bruce if so.

Bruce came to Canada to buy a YM? Sounds fictitious to me.

Additionally these are in most Rolex duty free shops that Bruce would frequent anyways.

Maybe Bruce wants to pay Canadian tax for no reason?

Cmon really?

He was in town filming.

I thought Bruce Willis fancied the new SD43.....

It's better than any other of the absurd nicknames but only because I happen to be a fan of Bruce Willis movies. In any event, I sincerely hope it doesn't catch on.

Yes. Great actor. Not so great Rolex nickname.

I think you misheard, he said Ruth Gillis.... He really is a great actor imho. Love everything I've seen him in.

The real question is, does Bruce Willis care about a few hundred bucks in sales tax in the least? No.

HubbleNox · 2 December 2017, 02:53 PM

That’s a hard no

Ouro9999 · 2 December 2017, 08:08 PM

Why not? I Will call it Bruce willis.

I agree. As for calling it the "Bruce Willis", I think that trend will Die Hard.

My point is they are easy to get anywhere and are seldom out of stock at all duty free airport boutiques.

And it is a lot more than a few hundred bucks. It is more like 13% on each watch.

Personally I could get 3 shipped to me in a second anywhere in the world but hey, whatever floats his boat.

RW16610 · 3 December 2017, 04:40 AM

Cool story. Personally I'm not a fan of any nickname for any watch. Ok, that's a lie. Steve McQueen or Paul Newman don't fall into that category for me for some reason. But all the comic book character names etc aren't my favourite.

fishingbear · 3 December 2017, 05:06 AM

No

TheRolexKingofLV · 3 December 2017, 05:28 AM

I'm not a fan, so the nickname doesn't work for me.
