Is how Rolex continues to kick its fan base in the groin and yet they keep asking "please sir, may I have another?". If you want to send a message, then simply take your business elsewhere. Lots of brands out there who would be more than happy to take you...
So I recently contacted a local AD looking for an Explorer I

and they kindly and promptly get back to me (and I'm not disparaging the AD here): "... you will need is patience as I don't know when we will be getting another Explorer in ..." I went and found a BNIB Explorer from a Grey-market dealer for a price less ...

6 years an explorer 1; 3 years a Milgauss, 2 years a Seadweller 116600. Then, 2 years ago I called my AD for a Daytona and it took 1 year, now I’m looking for two GMT, one for me the second for a friend. Impossible to find, I’m just tired. But one thing i...
