My experience in the past 16 months was, that it’s much easier to get a Rolex from your AD than 2-3 years ago. I have the Batman on Jubilee bracelet and a two-tone DJ with fluted bezel and jubilee bracelet in my collection. If I had to choose one, it would be the Batman.

As a lefty I always wear my watches on my left amd I can’t imagine to change. Even when I try it on ky right hand it feels strange.

I think a GMT is like many other things in life which are not really necessary. Once you have it, you don’t want to miss it anymore. BTW, this applies to wristwatches in general 😂

commented on Airport ADs: Anyone had to buy a flight after getting the call!? ·

Actually my first Rolex from an AD was at 6 in the morning at DXB. Surprisingly they just received a two-tone DJ 41 and I was the lucky guy. 6 month’s later I was at the same airport again and they had more Rolex watches but they only had the less desirable DJ models. Last week I spoke to an AD in Frankfurt airport and she told me, that they just took away Rolex from their airport store. The reason behind this is, that airports are usually very busy and Rolex wants that the ADs follow the Rolex script. This means offering the customer a drink or coffee, introducing them to the models and welcoming them as a prospect. And since at the airport only very few customers bring this time at all and the concept as such only works to a limited extent, she told me that in the future probably fewer and fewer ADs will be represented at airports and if at all Rolex would operate the stores themselves.

commented on Different Way to Think of Your Grail Watch ·

A few years ago, I thought my grail watch would be any brandnew Rolex sports watch from my AD. After reaching this „goal“, the watch wasn’t a grail for me anymore. So I have chosen the Patek Philippe Nautilus as my grail watch. I have always loved this watch and maybe I will never ever have one. So it will stay my grail watch forever.

That’s why I started taking my watch off when I’m cleaning my car or go to playground with the kids 😂
