Does anyone follow @thewristwatcher on Instagram? He’s a huge reseller and recently posted a story to a tik tok where he/someone he’s close to is buying a GMT Batman from an AD. It’s pretty obvious these resellers have AD connections and a frustrating reason why Rolex SS are so hard to find. He also buys a SS skydweller in another tiktok from the same AD

Naturally he'd post or repost it -- telling people the money doesn't matter as long as you love it puts that money directly into his pocket. This is why Rolex is not my preferred brand. The watches are fine, but not worth what they cost on the grey market, and even at an AD, I'm not going to buy a bunch of stuff I don't need or want to get a watch I do want. I'd rather just buy a different watch that I do want.

Watch the timepiece gentleman. It’s crazy to see how many watches they get from individuals to resell.

While I do believe many resellers do actually buy from people and resell, some of these accounts are consistently posting very hard to find watches that are brand new and bought within the month on a frequent basis. So they either have connects direct with ADs or the ADs are being played by their “VIPs”

The lady in the pic is a salesperson at the Atlanta Rolex AD at Lenox Mall... they will tell u outright that u gotta spend 100’s of thousands with them to get those SS ones.. they don’t even care if u will be a reseller all they care about is getting those extra cash out of u

smart

I saw this post from the wristwatcher on ig, I believe he was just reposting it as that was posted on tik tok a week or 2 back. I could be wrong

I got a call for a blue DateJust after randomly stopping by an AD and giving them my contact info...

New to watches in as I just got my first luxury watch, but wanted to clarify what “SS” stands for. Assuming stainless steel?

Correct

Hi! I have a quick question and could use some advice:

I have 1 job offer that is an hour away and pays 45k, after negotiations (Research Associate Position at a University) .

I have just interviewed for a position closer to home and a base salary of 65k, but haven’t heard back from them in about 2 days (He said he would make a decision by yesterday and I’ve reached out).
I have to decide on the first offer by Thursday but I haven’t heard back from the second yet. Thoughts on next move?

I hate that I’m saying this but I really just want a beautiful watch that is horologically great but just has one pusher that sends a signal to your phone to do one specific task.
