It is just a rumor I heard, that due to the resurgence of Covid in Switzerland with the fears of omicron, Rolex is taking measures to reduce production in the first few months of 22 and that is why they allocated/ delivered more watches in Nov and Dec in anticipation of some supply disruption.

Again take this info with grain of salt...

padi56 · 18 December 2021, 08:20 PM

Everything is possible with this world wide pandemic peoples health are far more important than watch production.

Laszlo · 18 December 2021, 08:25 PM

Hmmmm.

Possible.

But things are getting strange again.

How does one hear a rumor like this? @majidessa ?

I could actually say that statement for any company/manufacturer/factory.

The sales associates who work at the AD in Amman, Jordan receive top secret information directly from the Rolex CEO.

Must be a special SA to receive "Top Secret" information!

Cdaddylutz · 19 December 2021, 07:26 AM

This is so weird.
I remember the last two years people saying the same thing.
I keep hoping to see something new that people write about.

Maybe folks are selling and think spreading that rumor will make price spike

I think I've heard that for 8 years....

I have to agree… Rolex already said they are not sacrificing quality for quantity.

If the pandemic continues and there are more waves then sure… it’s possible.

I wish if it was a trick to boost sales but unfortunately Rolex cases are empty so I guess they are already doing well...

garyk · 19 December 2021, 08:09 AM

Its very possible. Not every country is acting as if its business as usual. I just read about Netherlands locking down again due to omicron.

Probably saw an ‘expert’ on YouTube talking about it, you know the one with the mole inside the Rolex factory that supplies him all the inside information…..

I'm pretty sure that my AD said the same thing last weekend when I picked up my Sub. They put one aside for me until February, I decided to get it now instead, and they said "it's a good thing you came in now because Rolex wah wah woh wah wah.". I stopped listening when the watch was in my hand but I believe the word production was said. lol

TimepieceRPP · 19 December 2021, 09:18 AM

Fortune teller? Crystal ball? Rolex knows the future? If so a lot of governments need to learn fr Rolex. Lol

dwjez14 · 19 December 2021, 11:10 AM

Davidsw told me cost to acquire is going up. You can see it on his site he is on the higher end of grays but it’s worth it to me. A lot of incomings right now so I wouldn’t doubt it if stuff dries up. Every other market is

The Rolex “Perfect Storm” gets raised to a Cat 5?

dnd2984 · 19 December 2021, 11:39 AM

Can’t wait till 5 Rolex gurus make YouTube videos on this.

Solo118 · 19 December 2021, 12:10 PM

It is what it is. The time to buy was yesterday as always. Unfortunately barring a huge economic downturn, demand will not go down and production will not go up. So more of the same with pricing going up up up.

Luckily I have all I need at the moment, if an AD calls with something that comes in for me, it will just be gravy.

donas · 19 December 2021, 12:15 PM

Oh no, if Rolex does that my AD display cases will be empty.....oh wait, never mind.

Andad · 19 December 2021, 12:28 PM

Could there be less Rolex stock available at AD’s?

Wait…. Your AD was willing to hold a sub for you until February?

There ought to be a separate website just for Rumor and Speculation.

77T · 19 December 2021, 03:24 PM

I dropped off a present at my nearby AD and he had an Explorer there in the display case so there’s that.

But if you can believe it, he had a dozen Tudors. They aren’t slowing down methinks.

Of course, the pandemic or some consequential supply chain issue could curtail output.
