re: Won't sell me the watch? by watches01 on Mar 11,2004 10:52 PM You have just been hit by the 800 pound gorilla of the watch world. You would not believe what the brand gets away with and how retailers also abuse their dealerships. There is one other company that does this and they are called Ferarri. Oh, actually when the Lange Datograph came to market they only made 50 for 200 dealers which created a frenzy for some very rich people.
This has become standard practice for a hot watch which lets dealers to have one gem every once and a while. What is unfair is how they display it before they complete the transaction which isolates their other good customers.
I don't think Rolex is the best watch you can buy, but they are one of the top marketers which keeps their brand on top.
