Go read the current thread now with a title about “buying in Mexico, waiting on warranty card”

I wonder if this is the same shop you are at?

Just be aware of this issue and don’t get into a mess.

Yes thanks for the info - I actually was just reading that very same thread - really feel for the guy.

I am now starting to seriously re concider.

It's easy to get 'caught up in the moment' in situations like this.

I am not normally a negative person and I am fully satisfied that this is an authorised AD with great customer service reputation and all the rest of it , but for me living in England, it's not exactly round the corner to pop back in and sort stuff out if, worst case scenario, there were any issues to resolve.

Thanks once again TRF, as always you guys & gals are a treasure trove of good advice.

Much appreciated

We (Packers) won't be winning much this year. Thanks to a broken collarbone.


I agree as well though that it looks pretty consistant to every AD I've been to in Wisconsin and Northern Illinois. I saw a security guard in Illinois with a bulletproof vest as well.

Wonder if Rolex is requiring this? lol

Rolex oyster perpetual date 6534

Hi, this is my first post, i am new to the Rolex world ( although I've owned one for a few years) however now i am considering selling my watch and I'm quite overwhelmed by the though of it, so was hoping i could ask for some guidance from you guys.

The watch requires some work and over the last year I've been trying to source parts without going directly to rolex but i have had very little luck. Anyone able to give me some tips? Much appreciated

Fascinating, can you elaborate on this?

I was there in that very shop over Xmas and New Year last year and the prices were slightly higher, but they did have a fantastic selection so if you were not wanting to wait and prepared to splash out a bit more then suppose its a good deal, there would be some form of tax claim back but I never actually looked into it. The staff were very friendly and cleaned my wifes lady datejust as a freebie while I chatted to the sales girl. Going back this year at Xmas so if I can get my head around the tax reclaim thing I may just treat myself to something.

For a second I thought this is a newly opened AD in London... made a swift movement to get myself closer to my monitor at work and spilled coffee all over my keyboard....

What I would pay for them in California. Mind you I’m a plebeian so no discount. Taxes are high in ca. Go to Portland or maybe.
