I regret selling this watch.

If you are considering selling a watch that you kinda like, don’t. That’s it. That’s the post.

I’m jealous you have a Sinn dealer near you. We

Don’t have these boutiques in the US. I’d love to get hands on with a Sinn.

Also, youur experience with a Rolex AD is pretty common lately.

May I present one of many instances where an AD was sued for selling on the gray market for a profit.

Krajisnik v. C.D. Peacock, Inc. (1:21-cv-00775) Chicago.

Granted, Rolex SA won’t sue an AD for doing this. Rolex will pull your line if you devalue their brand by discounting. As long as Rolex is getting paid by selling to the AD, Rolex doesn’t care (anymore) what they AD does.

I polish because I want to create my own scratches.

If the school near you doesn’t respond, check with the Watch Technology Institute in Seattle. Rolex and Ben Bridge sponsored. 100% job placement. Opportunity to work in the industry while studying.

One of the instructors worked for me many years ago. Highly competitive to get in. Totally worth it.
