Seems like a solution for a problem Rolex doesn't have. They sell everything they make and don't really have to worry about what happens later. Unless they get involved in the secondary market with a CPO program I don't really see why they would be interested in building the infrastructure/support to support a part of the market that doesn't contribute to their bottomline (and I could see a lot effort needed to deal with hesitance or mishaps for the less youthful part of their clientele, and not only those).
Regarding the flipper deterrence - I doubt that Rolex actually wants a mechanical approach to flipper control with well defined and transparent rules. If the grey market once again proved essential to moving unwanted inventory, they would be happy to accommodate that, as in the good old times. The current ambiguity serves their purpose quite well.
