Thanks Trevor! You're right... all I said was that Rolex doesn't allow it, doesn't mean some of them don't do it...

How are your GMT's doing?

They are fantastic I am at work so they are at home resting anxiously waiting for me to come home just like my lab. I am loving my solid black insert on what was my coke, and it looks great on my solid black zulu strap. I know, I know

I believe that an AD can sell you a particular watch over the phone, if you were physically in their store looking at that particular watch. This happen once for me anyway.

I do have a question thou... Can a Rolex AD ship a watch and avoid local taxes? Or is this against policy?

Thx,

Mike

Fact sheet:

- You cannot overwind an automatic watch.

- Your automatic watch will not keep running with just wearing it.

(You have to actually move enough to keep it wound.)

- The date can change anywhere between 11:55pm and 12:05am.
(If it changes around 12:00pm, just move your hands 12 hours forward.)

- Sapphire crystals can scratch, chip and shatter.

- Oils will dry out inside the movement over time.

(even though people claim it to be airtight/ having synthetic oils which shouldn’t dry, etc.)

- You can turn the crown both ways while manually winding your watch.
(It only works one way, but you don’t damage anything the other way.)

- You can turn the hands of your watch backwards when adjusting the time, or date. No worries!

- You can quickset the date any time of day on any Rolex.
(Be aware that with some other movement, like ETA this is not always possible)

- Any Rolex will loose it's water resistance rating if gaskets aren't replaced on a regular basis. Gaskets do deteriorate over time.

- Rolex does not sell watches on-line, and does not allow AD’s to sell over the phone or internet.

- Authorized Rolex repair centers and watchmakers are not allowed to work on watches with after-market parts on them.

- Rolex will not honor a warranty, without the original paperwork or card properly filled out and belonging to the original purchaser.
Wow!!! I had no idea, so Vanessa are you stating the policy is if I purchased a pre-owned Rolex purchased from a seller that originally purchased the watch at an AD and is still under warranty and I take the watch to an RSC and the warranty card does not have my name on it the RSC will not service my watch? Is there a way around this without purchasing new?

Pre-Owned Rolex

Yes! you can have the warranty transferred over to you by the original owner. I called Rolex and thats the answer i received. Good Luck!!!
