Did your friend say why he lost AD status?

HL65 · 13 June 2012, 10:05 AM

Congrats on a great watch. As for AD's getting dropped by Rolex--they been dropping like flies.

They did not tell him why, they just sent a letter and to return everything except the watches he had. He followed all of their rules so it was most likely he is just too small time for them.

HACKNSACK44 · 13 June 2012, 02:31 PM

Congrats!!

brettpaul · 13 June 2012, 03:35 PM

That's really a beauty - picked mine up back in April....it's been my daily-wearer ever since...until today, which finds me reverting to my SD!!

Congrats and wear it in good health!

After 30+ years, what a great way to treat them..... Sounds similar to the Australian service agent (Max Schweizer) who was sent a similar 'gift' after having been a service agent for about the same time.

Go Rolex!

Gerardus · 13 June 2012, 05:34 PM

I like the black face on this model.

Wristmaster · 13 June 2012, 05:42 PM

What a great memento, congrats!

Rob_b · 13 June 2012, 06:25 PM

Very nice Rob

Congrats mate

crew · 13 June 2012, 08:22 PM

Too bad for your friend Robert.
Just out of curiosity, what other high end brands is he left with?

mjclark32 · 13 June 2012, 08:32 PM

Very nice!

Ozzy12 · 13 June 2012, 10:00 PM

Congrats. Any ideas on why Rolex pulled the plug? After 30 years that is just crazy!

travisb · 13 June 2012, 10:04 PM

Sorry to hear about your friend losing the line. Nice parting gift indeed though.

689maple · 13 June 2012, 10:05 PM

Wick and Greene and its successors had had Rolex in Asheville NC since the 1950s. They got the letter and all was gone in the blink of an eye. Rolex gets loyalty from us for whatever our reasons but they seem to have forgotten the folks who helped get them where they are now- the local ADs in smaller venues.

Doubt they have forgotten - more likely they simply don't care.
