"it should be noted that Rolex watches are available exclusively from official retailers, who independently manage the allocation of watches to customers"

This is a complete joke, an abdication of any responsibility on Rolex's part regarding what happens to its watches once it hits the AD.
Rolex used to say that ADs would be monitored and would lose their dealership if Rolex discovered that dealers were selling its watches in a way that subverted the ideals of Rolex, including scalping, supplying the gray market, making demands on clients to sell "less" popular models to get "more" popular ones, etc etc
Clearly, Rolex has now overtly admitted that once it gets its wholesale dollars from its ADs, all bets are off and Rolex not only is not responsible, but cares not one iota about the process thereafter...
Sad if inevitable...
