Correct.

There may be more but if so, I’m not aware of.


The ones in Crawford and Wyckoff don’t seem to fit the bill for Rolex ADs anymore so my guess is their days are numbered as well.

Changing brands wouldn’t be the worst idea. After all, you may reignite a passion for the hobby in your exploration.

I’ll be honest I’m probably tapping out until references are readily available in the showrooms again.

The amount of effort I put in with these relationships is crazy. It’s incomprehensible to me to start over.

Looks like small mom and pops ADs are losing their status which I think Rolex is trying to consolidate as much as possible into either Rolex exclusive boutique ADs or big city ADs with significant and greater presence and exposure to foot traffic.

Just had an email from Thurlow Champness in Bury St Edmunds, UK... they have lost their status kicking in July 1.

May see if they have stuff knocking about before that though (i don't hold any hope)

a few dealers lost the brand recently here and none of them offered any great deals, and the ones that were discounted were ones which weren't that hot at the time.

T birds in Las Vegas just did. The last AD not on the strip lost Rolex and Tudor. Sad.

My AD that lost its Rolex status suddenly had models in the window at market prices above msrp

R. L. Austen in Chichester UK have lost their AD status, effective at the end of year.

They are still receiving deliveries until that date, although they claim that their allocation is now weaker on desirable references.

As of the new year, they will become a Grand Sieko dealer, and will increase their Tudor presence.
