To answer your question, your friend is the exact kind of person I despise in the watch community. Yes, it makes financial sense as long as he/she is flush enough to cover a random accident that may happen between purchasing and selling it. I hope the AD notes the sale and bans him/her afterwards though.

It’s not their marketing, Rolex isn’t making money from the secondary market. It could easily be argued that they’re losing money from an opportunity perspective.

It's not about financing, the problem is that buying a desirable Rolex at MSRP is challenging because it is an arbitrage opportunity

How are you making money?

Like why?

Lol😂

Or you can make your own Rolex and sell

Have you ever taken a job you know you will hate because you needed the money right away? I have a family to take care of. I don't want to be plowing through our savings for selfish reasons like my mindframe at work, but I don't want to make our lives worse by being miserable. It's a matter of really ruining some of our financial future if we don't get money soon.

JPMorgan Chase Did a first round interview for a senior level position at JP Morgan.. hiring manager said I should receive a call back within a couple of weeks.. been over a month.. no intimation post that.. the HR in charge of hiring or scheduling haven’t replied to my emails on what comes next and haven’t scheduled anything. So should I consider this as a dead end ? Does this generally happen at JP? Feels weird that I have been ghosted after what I felt was a very good interview.. Was a good fit too.JPMorgan Chase
