Forced to return Rolex...

[Marcjvr]

If you buy a Rolex, and you don’t put it through its paces in life, Rolex should force you to return it.

Some reasons for returning it are:

• Only ever worn with a suit, in a business setting
• No scratches on your Rolex
• You are too scared to remove links/screws yourself
• It only lives in a safe
• You bought it as an “investment”
• You bought it to impress other people
• You think the hang tag is equally important as your watch
• Your Rolex diver has never been in the ocean

Who else agrees Rolex should enforce this policy?

[Heff]

Nah. People can do what they want with their watches.

But I’d have to return all my divers

I tick 4 out of 8 boxes well three and a half - I sometimes wear mine with shorts and t shirt

A little strict don’t you think comrade?

[notchview]

Not often you see a communist Rolex owner (besides Fidel)

[Explorer2Guy]

Absolutely, friend!

Rolex should send its police force to peoples’ homes to make sure those people after spending $9,000 or more use the watches as Rolex directs!

There is a Nobel Peace Prize in your future, sir!

[Marcjvr]

To all the grumpy “stick in the mud” replies thus far...please tell me you guys tick at least 1 of the boxes?!?!?

Otherwise if you are that boring, you may keep your Rolexes but you have to post at least 1 fun reply on TRF in 2020...

Apologies if I ruined your day

Really? So If you buy a sports car and keep it at the speed limit and and drive it like an old lady and as your DD should they force you to sell it back?

I wear a DeepSea Sea Dweller. I’ll never dive with it. The most it will ever be is maybe 6 feet under water. No, I’m not giving it back.

Yes! lol. I don't agree with the Rolex return policy, but sports cars need to be DRIVEN!!

joking of course, I don't really care.

[mobster600]

Yes 8x hahah. I love a high mileage watch. Wear it and enjoy it. I’ve seen people baby things and it’s kinda sad. If you are too concerned about your watch, maybe its not something you should have purchased.

[Rocco21]

Always funny how people on this forum have no sense of humor and actually think the guy is being serious.Lighten up people hes bored and trying to have fun,no big deal.Most Rolex owners seem very uptight and not fun at all.

[Chester01]

Agree fully. However the mix of folks and posts on this forum tells me your going to get some defensive if not hostile replies as I bet maybe 75-80% here in this forum would have all those boxes checked and have to return their watch lol.

I think what you are seeing are responses to a childish posting. To be amusing, it would need to be a bit more sophisticated.

As my Alabama Mom used to say in her deep southern draw, “well bless your heart!”

[myc ritz]

That would be an extremely good use of their time.

The last guy whom I agreed with that said something dumb just got banned. For a small sum of unmarked $$, I'll move on without further comment.

[gnuyork]

Both of my Divers have been in the ocean. A lot. But they aren't Rolex, unfortunately. I'd take a Sub in the ocean just the same.

I would argue that a tongue in cheek post meant to remind Rolex enthusiasts why we fell in love with these watches in the first place, is not as childish as grown men who come on here and throw tantrums about not being able to get their hands on hot Rolex models at their AD



I bought my watch because I wanted a rugged companion for my life, and that’s what I got

[AK797]

5 and 6 alone are over 90% of sales, so Rolex goes bankrupt straight away... I take it you are sponsored by Omega.

[watchmework]

If people spend thousands of dollars on something I’m of the mindset they can do what they want with it.

[riad87]

Disagree!!! Your possession you do as you please.

Are you kidding me? Seriously? Isn't that a bit extreme? What a person does with their own property is their business and should be anybody else's. I hope this thread is meant as jest.
