my AD in Va Beach normally doesn't take deposits, saying it doesn't speed up order fulfillment. the availability of certain models is fluid and is dictated by Rolex production schedule which seems arbitrary. a good AD keeps tabs on the flow.
that being said, when we voiced interest in Jan 2021 for two OP DateJust for me and my wife, he didn't accept any deposits. 1 month later, as a show of our commitment, I asked him to accept a deposit on both. my wife's 31mm OP DJ arrived the following April, and my 41mm Wimbledon arrived in September. difficult to say if the deposit made delivery of either watch faster, though it seems more likely for my wife's than mine (2 months vs 7 months after deposit). |

I've given up acquiring another Rolex (or AP) until the day where I can actually place an official order for one through an AD or boutique.
This is how it SHOULD be....to help combat the flippers....

a flipper could place an order just the same as anyone else, no?

This way customers like myself who don't flip new watches for a living would have a better chance getting one at MSRP if could order directly from Rolex through our AD, and not have to buy on the grey market.

why would Rolex limit a customer's orders and possibly alienate their best customers to make a potential one-off purchaser happy?

There is enough demand these days for Rolexes that they don't need "best customers". Rolex does though run the risk of alienating customers like myself (non-flippers)....

a part of equation is exactly the fact that not everyone can get the Rolex that they want

So. I had to go to the mall the other day (something I avoid like the plague as a rule), and I stopped by the AD there to see if they had the new Air King.
They were wiped out, except for 3-4 "exhibition" pieces. But- the funny thing was a younger (mid-30's) guy who was there shmoozing the rep *hard*. The part that got my attention was his saying that he would take any and ALL OP41's and/or Sport models. So, I understand why an AD putting a limit on purchases wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing. Which is why we can't have nice things. R.

Not sure what it's like in the rest of the world but here in the UK once you've purchased a certain model then you're not allowed to purchase anymore of the same model.
I've got a Sub date and my new Sub no date so now I'm not allowed to purchase either of those models again. The only exception is if it's an insurance claim. |

But unless Rolex started keeping an online database for their AD's, that might have logistical difficulties. (At least over here on the privacy crazy side of the Pond).

I’ve purchased 4 Rolex’s in my lifetime. Still have all 4 in the family. My last was a Daytona 2 tone. Love that watch and I’ve been offered close to 2x what I paid for it on one occasion and been asked if I’m interested in selling it many times.
The market is crazy. Just wait it out. Paying MSRP only fuels the fires. Imho |
