Rolex

Right now walking at Beijing's center of shopping malls, entering every Rolex boutiques, and cannot find any single steel sport rolex, even the explorer 1 and 2. Only see two tone datejust, mostly ladies models with diamond. Many empty showcases...so sad ... 

You have to order one these days. Times of "Look, a Sub in the window." are over.

Join the rest of the heard and wait for that special moment ..

I can only agree here. It sucks and is just monkey. Rolex has a big brand strengh, but slowly there are more and more alternatives. and when I order, I would like a reliable delivery date and no virtual waiting lists.. Rolex simply should go into online s... 

there are a lot of other intersting brands out there. I never beg for buying, if they don't want to sell I move on.

Why should I give the AD business when they can’t source the steel sport models I’d like to buy from them. You wind up developing loyalty to other supply sources who CAN supply the watches you want. Is this really good for Rolex’s business?

I walked into almost every Rolex AD, only to see 1 Milgauss in Green crystal + black dial...maybe that's I'm lucky It's the demand as they say.

Not being able to even buy the "bread and butter" Submariner anywhere can be an alienating experience for some people.

...and plenty of Datejusts in 41mm... and possibly the odd (and lovely) Milgauss from time to time Then again, there are so many alternatives in the "mid-tier" luxury segment...

people usually laugh at this 'lack' of models, particularly steel models, and particularly from the brand that is the topic here as well as two from the so called trinity brands.... it's all about marketing and it's all about increase and control the dema... 

Yes there is a lot of alternative brands out there. I only have 1 rolex currently and would like to add 1 more, and that's it, no more rolexes. The good thing is that this make me patiently waiting for the explorer 2 to come back at 40 mm size and with ne... 

But somehow the communication between us and Rolex suddenly become cold and uninspiring.

So no BIG Brand for me 😬 ...  

Forget Rolex... go spend your money else where..

And every other man on the street has one.

That's why I bought an Oyster perpetual, discreet and still has every Rolex quality. Also the explorer II , not everyman's watch.
