Signing up on a list at two different Rolex AD's OK?

[Zach69SS]

Yes, you are fine to do so.

As long as you can hear that AD line Rolex is the most desirable watch brand in the world, therefore we have none available at this time?

Nope, they don't.

Correct, they certainly do not. I have had two subs , same year, from two different ADs. They have no idea what you are on the list for or what you have purchased outside of their AD.

Cast the widest net you can.

It's generally fine to sign up at multiple Rolex ADs. They usually don’t share customer lists, so the second dealer likely won’t know you signed up with the first. This can actually increase your chances of getting a watch, as each AD has its own waitlist and allocation. Just be honest if asked and manage your follow-ups politely. Good luck!

To the OP -
This isn’t Porsche or Ferrari - there are no central databases that track your indications of interest at multiple dealers.
Good Luck in your Rolex quest…..

There is no central database. I’ve gotten watches from 3 ADs in 3 states. One where I live, one where I grew up and where my parents still live, and one in a city I regularly travel to for work.

Cast as wide of a net as you can

No problem, go to as many AD’s as you like, they’ll all keep you hanging.

Well, the market is softening and Rolex is opening 3 temporary factories to catch up.. so you never know? Maybe we'll all end up with 2-3 GMT's and before we know it, the market will be flooded ;)

In the past couple of years Rolex has fundamentally changed how they sell watches, fewer AD’s, more boutiques, tighter inventory, more precious metals, skewing to higher average prices.

It would surprise me, despite the new factories or an economic downturn, if supply came anywhere near demand. The customer wish lists and long, long wait times have become the norm.

[GVAZQUEZ]

I have 4 AD’s I do business with in two different countries and they know I buy between several AD’s and there is no issue at all. Why put all the pressure on one AD?

Each one has some of the same watches on my list and some don’t and they have came through 100% on every request. Just be genuine and you’ll be fine OP

I think it is a good question to ask if you are not sure. For example, what would the community answer if this question was about Patek Philippe?

It is my understanding that Patek Philippe central knows exactly where each watch was purchased and to whom it was sold (new from AD). Also would it be the case that sometimes Patek Philippe centrally approve who gets what rather than each AD? As such getting on a waiting list at multiple ADs may be communicated back to PP central - would that have any bearing on whether you get the watch you request?

[PaulRF1962]

No. I just signed up at my 3rd AD this weekend.

[worldofoyster]

it's ok
