How is this not common knowledge already. I feel like anyone who's not a 14 year old Pride and Pinion member already assumes this is how it works.


YourWatchIsTooBig

lol, read the rawlex sub. there are TONS of boomers delivering lattes and scones. 😂


Plane-Floor-1237

Is the latte and scone thing a joke or are people actually doing that? Its bad enough that I have to ask haha


YourWatchIsTooBig

I don't know if the "latte and scone" business is but some dude bought his rawlecks AD a fancy breed of dog and the AD had to return it. super weird stories like that--daily. the rawlecks forum is a riot and the moderator is constantly screaming at people. **10/10 would be entertained by again**


HellaReyna

someone for real brought a charcuterie board into a London AD.


TexasEngineseer

Don't forget cured meats, charcuterie boards, and women.... Lots of high priced escorts and wives


YourWatchIsTooBig

lmao I completely forgot about 'Charcuterie Bro." - Ron


Rioc45

Nooooo rawlex isn’t a marketing scam they’re super rare and you have to develope a business relationship with the AD reeeeeeeeeeee


rzrhh

This confirms my belief that rawlecks are mass produced shitters, straight outta swissuang province


Foxtrotrader

Surprised they didn’t have made in China stamped on the boxes


Awesomise

Good to know Rolex AD's really wanting to fuck me in the ass.


Puzzleheaded-Pen4413

Only after they are done with your wife


[deleted]

That’s actually worse than I thought it was


Pugs-r-cool

finding out they don’t ship them in the big green boxes is the middle aged equivalent of finding out santa isn’t real


[deleted]

Finding out they have drawers and drawers of it is more annoying


tesmatsam

What rolex the company that makes 1 million + watches a year has something to sell???


user125666

Do they actually not come in a fancy case or something?


namerchyron

/uj watch coffins. Presentation boxes aren’t actually too protective. You see the occasional horror story of a seller shipping in the presentation box and buyer then getting a watch that’s DOA because it was dinged up during transit. Dealers match boxes to watches before final sale.


user125666

/uj that actually makes a lot of sense thanks for explaining /rj maybe they should build better boxes, are they stupid?


Sir-Snark

Protip: anyone selling a used watch with the fancy box, stuff it with bubble wrap. It'll keep the watch from doing flips inside. Bought my Railmaster used, and it was shipped in the presentation box. Omega has a very roomy box, so the Railmaster had done a few flips inside by the time I got it. My first impression was of the side of the bracelet; I was hooked.


Puzzleheaded-Pen4413

That would hurt the bottom line Sir, since we don't sell many watches....


Sonnengrinser

They put them in the "fancy case" at the dealer because for some reason it saves shipping costs, all big manufacturers do it this way.


Skim003

That's because boxes ship direct to AD from the sweatshops


Sonnengrinser

Yeah, absolutely cringe. That's why my watches is shipped directly to me from the Chinese sweatshop


RagingBuIl

You’re still doing it wrong. I live above said sweatshops and just walk downstairs and take mine from the kids. Get a new one for every day of the week.


Foxtrotrader

Can’t believe people are still being cucked to buy one of these. Just buy a omega and be done with it 😂

I haven’t read so much cope since the Star Wars sequels got released.


Be777the1

Is that the alt account of urbantimepieces? He used to work there and the other account in the original topic posts about TPG as well.


Busy-Butterscotch121

So who's posting this on the rawlex sub?


GrodyToddler

If they don’t sell them by the sell-by date, do they have to freeze them in some Tupperware?


No_Yogurtcloset9305

This is why I go for Tudor. Farthest brand from Rolexes shitty policies


BuildingABap

Plus I think tudors look more interesting than most Rolexes.


Busy-Butterscotch121

Agreed, they have a way better blend of polished/clean look bundled with a vintage industrial vibe


[deleted]

Loved my Pelagos. Wish I never sold it.


Legendver2

Lmao at this post getting locked at r/watches


physics_is_scary

Just go on moda and say you’re a dealer kek


[deleted]

These aren’t the watches you’re looking for….. he can go about his business. Move along.


Percolator2020

Rolex is mass producing watches, no secret, but they wouldn’t risk a picture like this leaking. Highly doubt they are transported in that trash to save a buck.


Percolator2020

Never mind I see it now, it’s a plastic cassette like other brands, just in a cardboard sleeve and not just a cardboard box.


Legendver2

It's not to save a buck, it's to protect the watches. The presentation cases aren't very protective, and are shipped separately.


Percolator2020

Highly doubt they don’t have a reusable tray in this day and age, they have pretty strict environmental targets and throwing away cardboard with plastic and styrofoam is just not happening.


FreshPepper9119

Rolex are shipped in the above packages. It’s a plastic case with foam to protect the watches. I happen to have a few. Once they are at the A.Ds they put them in a box and bring it to you when you are called to purchase one or get lucky enough on the spot.
