But of a volte face, to a “if you can’t beat them...” perspective, designed mainly to scratch the Rolex itch whilst minimising risk.
Today I have been offered a Milgauss, an Explorer, an Airking and a Yacht Master.
For a Submariner or a GMT it’s been made clear that I would need to buy a number of the watches that I’ve already been offered (watches that I don’t want) before being (possibly- zero guarantee) offered the opportunity to order a watch that I do want.
So I’m probably going to pay overs on a freshly flipped watch, if it passes scrutiny. Unworn, Registered Jan 2020, almost all the Rolex warranty and all the gubbins- box, papers, hang tags etc.
My theory is that this will be the cheapest, most direct method of scratching the Rolex itch, and I can flog it for close to what I (may) pay for it if I don’t get on with it.
