If you can't beat them join them I guess for the AD's.
They'll have plenty of stickers lying about to stick back on!
Wonder which AD originally supplied ....Quote:

are 'new" Rolex wrist watches anymore? - I getting to think that they, (current "new" SS models), are just a waste of time
Wonder if you sold your watch to them above list if they'd blacklist you from future watches? Wonder if you traded in at list if they'd let you buy a similar hard to get watch at list?
Bit hypocritical if you ask me, AD won't sell you a watch if they suspect you're a flipper yet are quite happy to fuel the secondary market by buying and selling second hand. I look forward to the day when the whole pack of cards comes tumbling down.Quote:

Dutch chain Schaaf & Citroen have been doing so for a while ....

Even the price levels are similar
Probably "a new watch" they are calling "pre-owned" in order to be allowed to increase the price. New at MSRP or pre-owned at MSRP x2?Quote:

There's 53 pre-owned Rolex advertised on the Goldsmiths' site.
The same 53 watches are also advertised on the WoS site.
They've been in the pre-owned Rolex (and other brands, of course!) business for years, so it's not a new thing. Many Rolex ADs sell pre-owned Rolex watches. They'll be priced at the prevailing market rate, which may be higher or lower than RRP.
More froth & pearl-clutching about hee-haw.
To be fair this is the first time I've seen and AD selling a watch well above list.Quote:

No froth and pearls here, perfectly entitled to of course, but removing stickers and holding back warranty card to prevent others doing the same is hypocrisy, pure and simple...Quote:

I remember when everyone would start murmuring when a “Rolex Price Rise” thread started.
As much as a Rolex fan boy I was......there’s much more interesting stuff out there.....if you can deal with it not being a Rolex.
First of all this is an older BLNR as it has the Oyster bracelet, newer ones are Jubilee - as I’m sure you know. Pretty soon Aurum Group will be sole distribution agents of Rolex in the UK (I suspect). They will not jeopardise their relationship with the Golden Goose of Rolex for the sake of a few thousand pounds extra profit selling what is a small number of desirable sports watches on the grey market. In respect of sale price, yes I may personally have a great relationship with my AD but that did not affect sale price of my Pepsi - I paid list. The guy that bought the Hulk that came in stock the same day as my watch paid list. However, there was someone in the shop at the same time that I was picking up my Pepsi who was trying to sell a pre-owned Hulk - the AD offered him £8,800 (he declined). So they had sold a new Hulk for £6,600 (or whatever list is now) and were trying to buy a used one for £8,800 on the same day.Quote:

Agree with many on this thread. It is dispicable that they are joining the 'grey' dealers and being able to offer a watch such as this at double the RRP.
Makes a mockery of the whole system. I was just in the AD this week collecting the card for the same watch (BLNR) that they have kept in an attempt to make sure I don't sell and profit from it...a little ironic that they are doing the very same thing themselves!!
Where are these insights coming from???Quote:

After making enquiries it turns out that particular watch was being sold on behalf of a ‘client’ for almost double retail. Walked away at the time but given prices now it probably wasn’t too bad of a deal.

Right - because previous increases to list prices have been incredibly effective in dampening the secondary market ?Quote:

Problem is for every buyer that wants to own a Daytona, there are a 1000 that want to buy one and sell for a profit so that market isn't a true reflection of demand. If everyone who wanted one could get one at RRP, even with a wait, the grey market would slowly disappear.Quote:

No difference in px a car against a new one.
Can’t see what the fuss is all about to be honest.
5% is nothing. Put the usual SS suspects up 30-35% and the Daytona 50% and increase supply (but don't flood the market) and things will calm down. That won't resolve the issue but will take the wind out of a few sails.Quote:

When you put it like that it just shows how ridiculous the whole thing has become.Quote:

After all with Goldsmiths, WoS and others in the group it might even improve flow of more desirable watches.Quote:

Besides which, they're not selling this three-year-old watch as part of the AD function which they operate under licence from Rolex UK (who don't deal in used watches, AFAIK). They're selling it as hawkers of used goods to the general public, where market rates prevail, as part of their wider watches/jewellery portfolio.
Just checked the link again & it says it’s unavailable. Wonder why it’s no longer for saleQuote:

Jeez, this thread.
It’s like the Daily Mail on a slow day. Shop sells something, someone moans coz shop is selling something, crowd gather with pitch forks. :BangHead:
P.S. Shop still has it for sale as at 2 minutes ago for £13,995 but one can, of course, protest and trot over to WF and pay more.

With you MQ.
Dislike what’s going on but it’s business at the end of the day and good luck to them.
I have several of the brand in my collection vintage and new and the last three I have paid over RRP for, my choice, life is to short to wait and if funds allow buy, wear and enjoy.
