Hi guys, which one is the most feasible option when it comes to authenticating watches?

A.) Pay $50 to Top Hour
B.) Pay $280+ to Swiss SAV for a more atas experience (open the watch and microscope it to their big tv let you see)
C.) Go to RSC say time is off; send in for assessment and reject their quotation but happily pay their $108 assessment fee?

Don't think rolex will. Too much work. Throw to ad handle better. All the furniture, all the display case etc have to follow rolex standards and only can use their supplier (another round of revenue). All the Rolex freebies, are purchased by the ad to gift. Ad don't get them free (another stream of revenue).

The only rolex owned boutique is at Geneva. 1 and only. And also nothing to sell to tourist.
Those Rolex freebies like the cap, chocolates, polo tee which I see only KHH giving to their customers is purchased by KHH?

I wonder when's the inflection point where the brand's value start to drop because of how the ADs run the allocations and treat their customers.

It won't. Unless the entire market pissed off and stop buying.
Rolex brand value has been strong all along. Even before all the hype. That's why they are the king.
Patek and ap back then only real wis know. Rolex who also know

Thg ask you buy crap. Then wait.

Cortina is ask you what you wanna buy then see can get the piece you want. If you agree. You get it 1 shot, all the pieces together. The bundle criteria might be higher but it's a guaranteed. That's when I still buy from them in 2021. Now not sure if they still practice that.

Exactly the same experience at the Paragon outlet in 2021 😂 $40k pieces before Pepsi included in bundle… damn jialat 🤦🏻‍♂️

THG is “wait, be patient, apply already waiting for approval”

This kind of gifts still need to buy and not given free? Wah Rolex also very stingy and calculative
arbo? if not let you earn 35% profit for fun ah?
every freebies you receive from AD, be it cars, watches etc, all is buy from the brand one.
