Would it be an issue if he sold it at a loss instead of breakeven?

I thought about it for a second but I would have to sell my Hulk. Not sure I'm ready to part with it yet haha

[Rose Gold]

By way of a brief reminder, when I purchase something, I can do whatever I want with it. I do not (and did not) say anything to my AD about what I would do with the watch. Sometimes, in this perverse Rolex environment, it is easy to forget that capitalism is the rule of law here in the US... I see nothing wrong with flipping a watch for a profit, this is what arbitrage is all about... however, I am not trying to make a profit, and I am not deceiving my AD. They do not have the right to tell me what to do with a product after I purchase it.

Additionally, I paid $33,000-ish for my Daytona, which gave me the power to purchase a Hulk for someone on this forum, a BLNR for myself, and now, potentially, this SS sub for someone here. Think of it this way; I am leveraging my AD relationship to help people on this forum because this forum has been a HUGE help to me. If my AD offers me a watch and I say yes, I will take it, and then I choose to sell it to a forum member here for the same price, am I really doing something wrong? If, after reading this, you still think so... then we will simply have to agree to disagree.

I think you’re an outstanding individual. Well done and a very nice gesture.

[dkg1616]

I am confused why people are crying over this.... so many people here are trying to get a sub and here is your golden ticket....

Very nice gesture!

Joe,

You have absolutely NOTHING to justify to these people.

What you are doing is completely OK and if you were charging a finder's fee, that would be OK also. You are investing your time and using your AD relationship as leverage which you paid money to build.

Keep in mind the user questioning your motives buys and sells watches ALL the time - I assume for a profit.

So thank you. Thank you very much.

Great gesture OP

[SoCal_Batman]

Solid gesture, I have no doubt someone will absolutely appreciate it! Kudos to you sir!!

[jabbott]

Joe, Thank you for being a first-rate stand up guy. Wish there were more Joes in the world and many less sanctimonious Dueys. Thanks Joe for your gesture!

[Pw92676]

Nice gesture by OP. Helps someone on the forum and FWIW it augments your purchase history with your AD. The only people I think it screws over are those folks who just want a Sub and not on this forum and don’t know about TS etc. As alluded to on other threads, vast majority of folks who want a Rolex aren’t watch folks and just want to go to a jeweler and buy one. That buyer has one less on the market for him/her. But no guarantee that buyer would have been next in the door to buy the watch, could have easily gone to someone trying to intentionally flip anyways lol.

Agree!! If I was in the market I would GLADLY buy from you. I already have a Sub though. I wonder is this was a BLNR, HULK, or SS Skydweller would people still be complaining? I’m sure it would have sold faster then the second comment. Lol

Did someone say this is the reason why we can’t find SS models in AD’s? We can’t find SS models because Rolex is not releasing them in great quantity. End of story.

Thx for the gesture OP!

Exactly! As they say don't hate the players, hate the game!

And I bet if your AD knew that you were going flip the watches they wouldn't sell you another watch - IMHO

Seriously? He is being a nice guy. Geez.

[hbombkid]

Good for you man and honestly hope this builds your relationship for your AD. Win win for everyone. Maybe you are becoming a “big spender” and your AD will give you an opportunity to buy a hard to obtain model.

[Nikrnic]

I was really thinking of that one for awhile but I just went for an Expii. Very nice of you to offer that.

What if the person next on the list is a TRF member? lol

[rexG]

Very thoughtful....

Great gesture! Way to spread the love to the WIS community.

I can't believe the OP is coping heat over trying to do something nice. Just shows how retarded the world can be. If it was me, I'd buy and flip for profit with zero f#%ks given. Rare to find someone willing to help out strangers. =)

[Foxiness]

This is why people can’t be nice. Getting heat for being nice
