As posted in my other thread. There's a chance that the CEO of Rolex USA will be at an event I'm going to tonight and may be able to ask him some questions.

I've collected some great questions but now it's time to narrow it down to the most important ones that you guys/girls want me to ask if I have the opportunity to. I had to narrow it down to 10 already since I can only post that many in a poll.

Thanks everyone.

Where are you going? I was told he would be here in Tampa at IP.

It's at Mayors in Dadeland Mall (Miami). All the reps I've spoken say the the CEO is going to be there. Maybe they are just saying that to get everyone to go. Hopefully he'll show up to one of them. I guess well see tonight if there's any truth to that.

What do you think the CEO in US can do about it?

I will say nothing.

Not everything happends in US.

I will say you should send the questions to Geneva IMHO.

He probably won't be able to do anything but he might have some insightful things to say about the company. I'm looking for a few trigger questions and hopefully we'll have some good conversation.

I do not think we can get something to happen, but we can ask about what has happened. I plan to leave here within 3 hours, and I will check for the highest poll question then and take it with me.

Should I wear my PAM to the event?

Absolutely. Tell him you will wear your Rolex when it has decent LUME.

I know NOMAAM is going to the one in Miami tonight. It should be fun.. I'll definitely take some pictures (if the let me) and post them.

astcell · 15 October 2008, 03:25 AM

I'm at the one in Tampa. I wish I could say I came out here just for this. :-)

My question isn't on it but: "Are Rolex continuing to use the pricing model as a leverage to keep the brand relatively exclusive or does Rolex contemplate a venture into haute horlogerie to reach the same goal?".

If both of you got the "word" that the C.E.O. is going to be at two different locations at the same time, sounds like he will be at neither.

GMTcrazy · 15 October 2008, 06:44 AM

Well, most of these questions the president of ROLEX U.S.A. would not be able to answer due to the fact Rolex USA does not really play a part in deciding what watches are being made and how they are being made, ceramic, etc.... It is all decided back in Geneva.
