Rolex Cufflinks

First pics I've seen of these new releases. Won't be gifts, but will be purchasable, for over £3k a set....

Not my cup of tea at all. I'm sure someone will like them though. Watch these be abused by ADs, making them needing to be purchased in order to obtain high-demand pieces...

I said when these were first shown on TRF that they look more like something a Rolex AD salesman would wear, but those Mercedes hands cufflinks remind me of the CND logo...or Mercedes.

Do you need cufflinks on a wetsuit?

They look cool but I would never wear them. For a Rolex salesperson it’s perfect

To the OP (Neil McCauley),
I’ve seen them on 47th Street NYC for many, many years - You would be well advised to know that 99% of the time Rolex “Cufflinks” are real precious metal (usually Sterling Silver) but not made by, or authorized by Rolex….. The ones you displayed are not authentic merchandise produced by Rolex.
They are nice, but they are not Real Rolex Merchandise -
Caveat Emptor!!

Good find Neil! Those would go perfectly with my Rolex Tie Pin.
If I could find it.
I think I lost it back in the early 70's.

Nope. Incorrect.

Very very soon they will be available to purchase directly from your AD. They are authentic Rolex. My AD has confirmed this and the prices are silly.

My AD had these as part of the Rolex new releases showcase. They're £4,150 a pair. All are yellow, rose, or white gold and the mercedes hands ones are fully lumed. They're not my cup of tea, especially as they cost new watch money, but hey, maybe there's someone out there that loves these

Yeah, I agree. Not really into them either. And you're probably right about the ADs – they'll definitely try to use these as leverage for the harder-to-get watches.

Unless that gave me a fast pass to my next desired allocation of choice, that would be a no thank you, not for me.

To the OP -
I have long standing relationships with numerous AD’s in NYC, CT, NJ, LI-NY, and FL. Over the next few weeks, I will ask each and every one if they possess these Rolex made cufflinks and if they intend to sell them to customers. It is also possible that the Rolex cufflinks are for real but just a gimmick and money grab - very similar to the Porsche - Porsche Design scam where if you want to buy a new 911, you have to buy a $10-14K watch from the Porsche dealer (no joke). It’s also possible that this is a EU only item.
Full disclosure: I have been buying Rolex watches for 45 years and have never seen Rolex cufflinks for sale at AD’s anywhere in the US - but EBAY seems to always have lots of “Authentic Rolex Cufflinks” in a “Rolex Green Box” for sale………
I will let you and everyone here know if I am erroneous!!

Wait… you still think these are fake?
Do you want me to post the Rolex patent drawings again?
Is the post above where someone said they were on display with the Rolex 2024 releases at their AD not enough proof for you?
