Nowadays Overseas AD also many pattern. I came across ask you spend 50K they will take out a stainless steel model.

Sometimes buy liao they wanna keep white tag say return to HQ, stickers all take out. Some the white cover for the box also don't give. It's all to prevent a 'full package' to resell I think.

Interesting. Frankly speaking, do the ADs really care whether the watches were resold and if they are sold at full package?

To me, it feels like the ADs (especially multibrand ones) is making use of Rolex allocation to drive up their overall sales through bundling. And this is made possible by the high resale price in the grey market. ADs would still be the biggest beneficiary from the high price in grey market.

i go n collect and my AD spend a good few mins to take off every single protection stickers. Then he bundled together like a ball, place it in front of the box, with watch, card, booklets , green + white tag and then take pix.

I resized mine in June, and I was given the green pouch. Just ask them to apply Locktite after adjusting. They should advise you to not wear your watch for 2 hours. They might give you a pouch to keep your watch.

Cannot, white tag is a must. When I bought mine from Carousell I insist must have white tag to make sure it’s the og dial

I resized my grey market DJ last year at Rolex Boutique at Raffles Hotel.

Got the "where did you buy the watch" question before the staff resized for me.

How come? Uhhh isn’t DJ quite easily available? Is yours a special one?

Anyway my watch inside got one scratching sound. I think it’s the rotor plate inside scratching around. Anyone got this problem,
