Gents,

Got this in the mail today. Had a laugh. It showed me all the watches they used to produce but no longer send to their ADs.
Should have just showed 34OPs, TT datejusts, and diamond dialed ladies models. Happy holidays watch lovers.......

I don't get it.

Rolex would be nowhere without brilliant marketing, which besides a desire to build the most durable and desirable watches in the world, was what defined Hans Wilsdorf, himself.

TRF seems to be full of sour grapes these days.

You don't get the irony of no decent ss watches in the showcases but sending a full catalog around and saying shop our products for the holiday session?
