I just got off the phone with my AD and during our conversation he indicated that he would easily guess half or more of the people he sells a Rolex to don't bother to set the time, ever. Go figure.

He's an idiot.

AK DeepSea · 11 December 2018, 09:46 AM

Based on what I see in this forum, that’s probably pretty accurate. Most look like safe queens.

ZOOK · 11 December 2018, 10:00 AM

I see another Rolex purchase requirement coming.

Stickers removed
Bracelet sized
Warrant card filled out completely
Watch set to current local time

Another thing for grey's and flippers to brag about. "Watch has never been set."

arcentaur · 11 December 2018, 10:10 AM

Well, he said half. I’m with the other half.

dubins930 · 11 December 2018, 10:11 AM

I believe it

superstarmar · 11 December 2018, 10:12 AM

There is some truth to that... But not on my part.....

This is kinda funny because if i didn't bother to check my wifes watch every few days she would walk around with the wrong time and date and not notice it. Her mother also wears a rolex and the time and date is never right on that thing, it dives me crazy everytime i see it.

Speed · 11 December 2018, 10:51 AM

I read with horror a TRF member posting that he never set the date...Not setting the time is unforgivable.

I totally agree! many wear watches as an accessory, after all no watch could tell time better than a cell phone for most!

Annan · 11 December 2018, 10:57 AM

Maybe those who don't set the time are the same ones that don't care about accuracy??

You mean these things tell time? And all I was trying to do was get a cool tan line.

BVLDARI · 11 December 2018, 11:47 AM

I read an article recently that talked about how there are many broken mechanical watches being worn by people all over the place. Not only are people not setting the time, people don't even care if the watches run. So I believe him...

Doesn’t surprise me, as most see them as a status symbol, maybe 10% could name the movement inside.

porschejeff · 11 December 2018, 12:29 PM

Is it safe to set the time on my Rolex?

Andad · 11 December 2018, 12:37 PM

Fun thread....

Avs Fan · 11 December 2018, 12:46 PM

A few years ago, a watch with a working movement... but no hands or face was on the market....cant remember the name...

All the above + watch odometer on all Rolex models

brucethemanlee · 11 December 2018, 01:12 PM

wow seriously? what's the point if you don't set the time. you might as well just wear a bracelet
