Icon3 Heres a thought...

hi,a`question why dont we set up our own rolex distributorship,and contact a ad that will give us a discount for consistant orders for new watches?,we would have large buying power if we all got together,and get great discounts?seems to me quite a logical step,we wont sell watches over the web but put the various purchasers in contact with one ad,who i think will be only too happy to sell more watches,good idea or bad idea?
happy new year

LOL. I'm very curious how much inventory we'd need to purchase to be an AD.


Thinking it's bigger then a bread basket.

Rolex will be VERY unhappy with the AD and will pull the plug on his AD status.It seems Rolex dont like their ADs to give too large a discount .....I think this is BS and the AD should be able to give a discount with which he or she is happy with.

ok i got a bit mixed up,we All live in different parts of the world,but,in america it would be 1 ad,i europe another ad..and so on, i beleive this is possible,its just like being very weathy customer,coming into,or telephoning the ad,and ordering a watches,we would not purchase an inventory but only order through one rolex ad,thus giving him business and a profit,we get our discount,a win/win situation?

the rolex ads have targets to meet,thats why brokers /grey area are able to get generous discounts,off watches,when they fall short,the brokers go in and buy the watches at a generous disount or move them on,thats what ive been told,and how i bought my datejust 25 percent off.box papers etc
