Instituting a clear ordering process would also help. If a buyer could order a watch, then wait (even if it's a long time), at least they'd know they were getting a piece, and the process would be clear. The process now is so disjointed and opaque that it's a major turnoff for a lot of buyers.

I think we give Rolex too much credit sometimes. Sure they sell every watch, as they always have, but they're sending a clear message that the average buyer, the "celebrate an achievement" buyer, the one Rolex for a lifetime buyer, can go pound sand.

couldn't agree more. an understandable ordering que would go a long way. the lack thereof definitely irritating to many of us, myself included
