Title says it all had call my BLNR has arrived, 4 days after price hike (probably had it before) and AD also said they hold on to warranty cards of this model for 12 months - is this acceptable?

MonBK · 6 November 2016, 07:37 PM

Of course not!

Unless you can hold off with the payment.

Abdullah71601 · 6 November 2016, 07:39 PM

Card comes with the watch. It's BS.

KarlS · 6 November 2016, 07:41 PM

They copying Patek

Old Expat Beast · 6 November 2016, 07:42 PM

Did you ask why? So you can't sell it I guess.

OmegaJJH · 6 November 2016, 07:47 PM

No chance!

They simply wouldn't get my money.

Tomas Eriksson · 6 November 2016, 07:51 PM

Are you financing it?

SC11 · 6 November 2016, 07:55 PM

Hmm have heard of this before but it's AD BS if you ask me, if they say Rolex are making them do this they are talking out of their back sides...

I would imagine the most in demand and flipped model would be the SS Daytona and see below how I received mine!

Personally I wouldn't stand for it, you could refuse to purchase without it but guess they won't care as probably have someone waiting in line.

I wonder where you stand if you paid regardless of this silly clause they are trying to forums on you and as long as it's not in writing post payment demanding the card and if they refuse contact Rolex etc

Snow-Dweller · 6 November 2016, 08:09 PM

I would speak to Rolex uk.

coolaking · 6 November 2016, 08:10 PM

I would think it's to stop you from flipping it as they BLNR has big waiting list and was the best price worldwide before price increase Monday - I am Irritated as what if I decide it's not for me after a few months - I only live 1/2 mile from this AD and bought another Rolex from them in July - I could handle 3 months but 12 months without card is stretching it

OmegaJJH · 6 November 2016, 08:18 PM

Once the purchase has been made you are free to do with it as you please.

Obviously, its to stop speculation and the above 'list price' reselling of newly issued/in vogue pieces, I can see some merit in it. Sorry.

-Ally- · 6 November 2016, 08:31 PM

Pay for it, get it on the wrist then demand the card.

And a diet coke.

japenney · 6 November 2016, 08:37 PM

its fine with me. I just want the watch. I do flip a lot but if I managed to get a new blnr in the UK I don't see myself flipping it anytime soon.

Hodog16 · 6 November 2016, 09:20 PM

A month I could understand but a year is a bit much. If you really want the watch I would go for it with the understanding that if it somehow really needs warranty work before a year is up that the AD would send the watch in with the warranty card.

Majin Buu · 6 November 2016, 09:22 PM

Jesus!
Thanks the good Lord it wasn't me!
'Cause I would have given them a (James Brown) Ha!!! in their face... c

Anyway, to retain your property, that's not acceptable!!!

Best wishes !

brettpaul · 6 November 2016, 09:27 PM

I'd find another AD or go to a trusted seller....personally, if I buy the watch it's mine...card and all once I pay.

Muzz · 6 November 2016, 09:28 PM

I would not accept that. Would not do business at an AD that implemented those practices either.

stash21 · 6 November 2016, 09:40 PM

Buy the watch let them keep the card the inform rolex U.K. That one of their ADs is refusing to give you your property.

Racerdj · 6 November 2016, 09:45 PM

Absolutely not OK.

Rolex fan 61 · 6 November 2016, 09:47 PM

Thats rubbish!!!!
I would not hand any money unless the watch was sold complete, I would also contact rolex UK.

newsboy · 6 November 2016, 09:48 PM

Buy the watch make sure they sign the card, take the stickers off and if they refuse to give you the card. Return the watch under the 14 day cooling off period

brandrea · 6 November 2016, 10:03 PM

First time Ive heard of this and it would not be ok with me.

What AD is this?

I've bought several new Rolex models over the years.
I've never ever heard of this.

Shichinin · 6 November 2016, 10:10 PM

this.

1William · 6 November 2016, 10:21 PM

I would ask to speak to the manager and then the owner. I believe this is a situation that can be worked out or at least discussed. In the end, if you want the watch, and they will not budge. Pay for it. Have the stickers taken off, Card filled out an swiped. Then return the watch. They may not care, but I would reveal the name here on TRF and I would not do any business with them again. If you buy the watch, it is yours to do with as you please. None of the AD's business.

jrs146 · 6 November 2016, 10:24 PM

That's like buying a new car and the dealership holding on to the steering wheel. I would not stand for that at all.
