You got a catalog???

I was told that if I collect 15 Rolex sales associates business cards, I could be qualified for a pamphlet.
Once I collect 12 pamphlets (required 15 business cards for each one), I will be eligible to qualify to get a brochure.

Once I get 6 brochures (each requiring 12 pamphlets which require 15 business cards each) I may be eligible to be on the wait list for a catalog鈥ut I have to have 6 precious metal and ladies watch catalogs (each requiring 6 brochures which require 12 pamphlet and 15 business cards) to qualify for the stainless DJ catalog.
Once I get 4 stainless DJ catalogs (each requiring 6 precious metal catalogs- each of those requiring 6 brochures, 12 pamphlets and 15 business cards), I will be on the wait list for a stainless sport catalog鈥hich may or may not be available in 2025.

You can get Rolex sales associates business cards from sales associate business card dealers who are not authorised. They are exactly the same Rolex sales associates business cards but they don't have the name of the Rolex sales associate. The non-Rolex Rolex sales associate business card dealer will however offer you his name on the Rolex sales associates business cards for 1 year. These non-authorised Rolex sales associates business cards are only 4x the price of the authorised Rolex sales associates business cards.

Plus, with these non-authorised Rolex dealers, you do not need to collect 15 Rolex sales associates business cards in order to qualify for a pamphlet, you can get a pamphlet right away. It is the same pamphlet, but you're going to pay a lot more for it. These authorised Rolex pamphlets from a non-Rolex pamphlet dealer are only 4x the price of the exact same Rolex pamphlets you can't get from an authorised Rolex dealer.

The non-Rolex pamphlet dealer has a super-secret source for authorised Rolex pamphlets, it's almost like get gets them directly from an authorised Rolex dealer and they split the inflated price suckers are prepared to pay for these pamphlets because of a convoluted market manipulation/repositioning strategy being controlled top-down in order to extract the maximum profit out of complete marks who are trapped in a vicious cycle of seeking external validation through social media posting while being continually drip-fed algorithmically targeted content that convinces them that they still aren't good enough unless that have the newer and shinier precious. But that's obviously not the case because brand heritage or something.

As I was walking to the AD
I met a man with 7 catalogs
Each catalog required 6 brochures
Each brochure required 12 pamphlets
Each pamphlet required 15 business cards
Cards, pamphlets, brochures, catalogs,
How many watches were bought at the AD?

They no longer sell watches, watches are beneath them- only the fleeting promise of watches. They do have business cards, pamphlets and brochures- they keep the catalogs in the back for premium wait listers who can fulfill all the prerequisites.

Although it was a while back (15 years or so), my sister in law went to a Rolex AD, 8 months pregnant with a giant jar of $5 bills and coins and bought a Daytona with cash on the spot. I think the owner just thought it was hilarious that this lady about to give birth had walked in carrying several kilograms worth of change and wanted a 116520 for it.

Did she also haggle on the price!? 馃榿

I mean, who wants to deal with the ire of a pregnant lady? 馃槈

God, if only I could do this now (buy the Rolex from an AD, not the being 8 months pregnant bit).

Unfortunately the catalog did not include SS sports models. Just Cellini and DJ鈥檚 plus a smattering of gold sports models.

You guys really need to start thinking outside the box. ADs? How quaint. I鈥檝e just learned to wear a face mask and follow the truck from the Rolex factory. Never experienced an inventory problem. 馃槑

Been tried before. It didn't end satisfactorily.
