mickeydainish · 23 October 2008, 10:01 AM

I havn't a clue if the Rolex bigwigs read "are forum".... but I am sure they look at the coffers. That means... they look at the figures.... Moola, baby... yeah!!!! What is selling.... how many units.... what areas...? all that jazz..... They probably just read our forum for a laugh and to see what JJ is up to!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-)

Hatchet · 23 October 2008, 10:19 AM

Obviously, JJ is a mole for Rolex.

Latrodectus · 23 October 2008, 10:22 AM

100% truth. Spoke to my AD and he was telling me sold a green crystal milgauss to a guy for retail and it showed up on ebay the next week and Rolex was calling the next day.

dcash0615 · 23 October 2008, 10:44 AM

I would say yes...

dcash0615 · 23 October 2008, 10:51 AM

I am considering not buyng anymore at MSRP. I think Rolex makes a great watch, but with the way the prices are going up, there are other brands out there that I feel are a better buy. I anticpate only buying at less then MSRP and if that means I have to buy from a grey dealer or AD that is willing to negotiate, then that is where I will purchase.

Z-Sub · 23 October 2008, 11:37 AM

I would ask who, which member, works for Rolex here?

sea-dweller · 23 October 2008, 11:40 AM

Yes, I'm sure they do. Great forum for obtaining 'marketing' information and other useful information on what Rolex buyers like and dislike. If I worked for them, I would be 'lurking' around here also.

I know for a fact that they do. I'll post a little story this Saturday about how I know that, and why TRF is more important than we might think...

Cheers,

Boopie · 23 October 2008, 02:38 PM

I presume that Rolex would read TRF.

It would be even cooler if Rolex would take suggestions, such as opening a RSC or a factory to a tour, even on a limited basis. Even NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in La Canada opens its facilities to the public once a year.

Jimbits76 · 23 October 2008, 06:06 PM

There was a guy who worked for Rolex here in the lead up to Basel.

I guess even the guys who make them could be as fanatical about them as us morons.

As for market research etc...do you really think they would listen to us Yahoos??????

As I said in another thread, if Rolex gave the people what they wanted, we would all be wearing red subs!

jdc · 23 October 2008, 08:14 PM

I don't think they care a flying fig what we think, they will get there feedback through sales. People buying professional/sports watches are not their main target market.

Quicksilver · 23 October 2008, 09:06 PM

I am sure that either Rolex or their marketing/Pr departments keep abreast with what's being discussed on all the Rolex forums. They probably don't take any notice.

Just in case they do take notice -

don't screw with the sub

082013 · 24 October 2008, 05:43 AM

Definitely, and they use it as part of their armoury whilst doing everything they can to stamp out the grey market and dealer premiums

Goodwatch · 24 October 2008, 05:56 AM

It is hard to tell and impossible to prove. What is plausible is that a bureau, commissioned by Rolex SA, scours the Internet in search of copyright infringements has stumbled upon TRF. Does Rolex employ researchers to actually pull feedback from forums like TRF? It doesn't show but Rolex isn't a fashionable clothing brand in search of the latest buzz. They move with glacier pace although they seem to have shifted gear lately. But forums like TRF aren't frequented by your average Rolex buyer I guess.

GMTJOHNNY · 24 October 2008, 06:29 AM

Do YOU go home and read about your day job on the internet? I don't and doubt they have anyone really "designated" to read our stuff here.
If so, I love you all at RSC DALLAS, I gave you a 20 year old Air King for polishing and you sent me back a Super President in Platinum with diamonds!
You rock!

First of all it is free marketing research and they can have a general idea on what their hardcore customers think of their products

There is a guy here on TRF but i am not going to mention his username publicly that works for rolex and he admitted it few months ago

Frostie
I remember him, they started to give us bits of information, even said that they would give us an idea about this years Basel.

Then all of a sudden they stopped posting on the forum.
What has happened to them.

Perhaps Rolex sent the boys round to pay him a visit.

stevemulholland3 · 24 October 2008, 11:18 AM

I know for a fact that some of their employees read our little forum-I sold a watch to one of them,and I promised to say no more about it...

You could go to the Open Discussion Forum and post it on the Three Word Thread. Nobody views any posts over there.
