How does approval process usually work with rolex ADs? I have a purchase history with a current AD and been on a waitlist for a while. Got a msg saying they have one in system and waiting to get approval to sell me one, but no promises. Does this mean I am likely to get one soon?

It is truly insane that it has come to this with Rolex. These things aren’t country club memberships. People should buy other stuff.

Ah gotcha. Thank you for the input. Ive been waiting on a gmt for a while and was excited to get a txt yesterday from my AD salesperson out of the blue. Skeptical it will lead to an official offer but keeping my fingers crossed.

Sounds like you’re near the top of their list! Pepsi or Batman?

That sounds like an internal approval (within the AD - likely to ensure that high spending customers are taken care of before normal plebs who just want to buy a $10k watch). There’s no formal process between dealers and Rolex.

Oh really? Its for the Batman or they call it batgirl now.

Good move on the text. I think the batgirl is a dumb nickname - I’m guessing the only people who call it that are people who have the old model and wish they had the new movement.

I have a 116710LN and love it. Hopefully you get the good news soon!

Didnt even know they updated the gmt recently, good to know tho! Appreciate the insights and feeling more hopeful than before. I thought the initial msg was a clickbait to get me in the store to purchase another model.

Bummer, just got a call that I wasn’t approved for one! The wait continues

Yeah dumb. Buy a Tudor BB GMT and you get the same heritage and style

30th birthday present watch accessory ideas.

A lot of knowledge on here so asking for some help. It’s my partner’s birthday and I’ve no idea what to buy him. He’s a watch fanatic - Pateks (sports and dress), Audemars (sports and dress), Rolex (sports), Omega (sports).

I’m obviously not buying him a watch for his birthday (in his dreams!) but any idea for some good accessories? He’s already got a PP watch winder, and has bought multiple nice straps for the dress watches. I’m completely lost.

Have a fundamental question: why would an AD give a discount on a brand new Rolex? Is it similar to car dealers giving discounts on inventory on the lot? Or the discounts only apply to pre-owned? And if an AD does give a discount on brand new, what range should I be looking at?

Went in to check compare sizes for an Aqua Terra (green dial) but now torn between that and Moonwatch Sapphire (manual wind but the case in the back is just 😍)

Surprisingly the Moonwatch felt smaller (even though it’s 42mm vs 41mm Aqua terra) but I’m not sure about the manual wind tbh - worried I’d break it

This is going to be my main watch for the next 20+ years so I want to make sure I pick correctly!

Why would a luxury watch brand make/sell connected or smart watches? What is the business reason for it? To me it just kills the brand value. For instance I was a big fan of Montblanc but after I see their smart watch line up I instantly devalued the brand in general. Same for Tag (tag is questionable anyways), or Breitling.
