Only local residents need apply for a Rolex?
Oct 30, 2020,12:30 PM
At lunch today a friend told me she and her daughter visited a Rolex AD that has a presence in multiple cities to buy a gold/steel ladies Rolex. The salesperson told them it could only be ordered if they lived in the local area and after confirming their postal code of residence, told them it would be a year wait. I would be interested to know if the residency criteria is applied by others or only by that one AD but the salesperson explained it would not sell to customers coming from outside our immediate region.

As long as people think that a mass-produced, zero complication, zero hand-finished is the coolest thing in the world to possess, these insane Rolex-rules will be applied with impunity. And of course Patek is equally guilty of their āapplication pieceā ru...
I think this is a good move.

It will likely make things more difficult to the flippers that only purchase watches to make a quick benefit.
