ROLEX "official"

[Oceanklassik]

Hi, just wondering and hope to discuss this.

For the discontinuation of any ROLEX models, maybe let's just put it decades ago. Has ROLEX ever come out to announce it officially the discontinuation of a particular model? Take the latest Seadweller (SD) for example. Was there any "official declaration/announcement" or stuff like that? Or, is there suppose to be an "unspoken rule/understanding" that as long as there is a 'birth' of a new model/design (like the Deepsea Seadweller - DSSD), people in this industry will naturally know that the older SD model is discontinued for good!

me is hearsay as well as the new rolex catelogue under the sea dweller section only see peekture of the deep sea.

but then never hear official annoucement tho.

Ask rolex authorized dealer la. They r official rite?

[NaesHaes]

Like what exxondus has mentioned, there is no offical release that SD is discontinued. The latest Rolex Magazine that I have gotten has no SD and GMTll. Instead they showed DSSD and GMTllC.

Just wondering if any of you heard they offically announce that GMTll discontinued if the answer is no then my bet is same goes for the SD

So far, they have never announced. They will juz took the model number off the listing, as u can see on their new booklet.

So it is always these "unofficial" rumours that the ADs used to increase prices? How do you then 'buy' into these "rumours" to pay a premium for the watch?

For example, you are waiting to buy an Explorer I and the ADs rumoured that it is "discontinuing" in the coming wks/mths. So instead of the usual 15% discount they normally gave, they are now selling it at list price (using the "rumours" as reason). Are you going to plunge into it? Say, you did and bought the watch at list price, only to realise a few mths later that the "rumours" aren't true. Then how?

I know this had been discussed previously but I want to see how you people will respond.

Well you can't actually say that because SD is 'discontinued', right? That was when the 'M' series SDs were widely rumoured to be discontinued until the 'V' series SDs appeared . Then rumour-rumour again, and the DSSD was produced. So who now dare say if SD die-die stop production at 'V' series :whistling?: ? What if...

for those who buy & forget its not heart pain. only those who buy for investments ...

see how the LV goes

[3echo]

the "investors" just need to keep flipping loh... short term loss but long term gain?

[exxondus]

don know abt others, but imo, such mass produced watches (rolex included) will find it hardpressed to increase in value loh...

Hi,

Things that I need some clarification.

Will AD issue a certificate if I buy a 2nd hand Rolex from them??? The certification has to be an original certification from Rolex or it is an invoice written with the information of the model, serial number and series considered a certificate of the Rolex?

What if in the future I would like to sell my Rolex, will the so called invoice certificate be acceptable?

According to one AD, they do their own Rolex servicing and if let say we were to send to RSC, our warranty with the AD will be considered void. Is there such thing?

So how to know that this AD is selling a genuine Rolex?

Please help.....thanks in advance.
