It's crazy.
Back when I was on Reddit, the front page figured I was interested in watches, so it kept filling my front page with watch-buying comments.
People were talking about their interactions with authorised dealers, asking things like "My ad refuses to sell me [expensive watch] until I buy more [medium watches]. I've already bought a number of [expensive watch]. Should I try to find a new ad?"
Edit:
If you're thinking about joining the cult, here's "10 ways you can beat the Rolex waiting list [1]"
1. Dress smart when visiting the Rolex authorised dealer
2. Be personable and nice with the Rolex authorised dealer
3. Build a genuine relationship with the Rolex authorised dealer

6. Let the Rolex authorised dealer know you are serious

- JumpCrisscross 3y ago> Make sure the Rolex authorised dealer doesn’t think you are going to flip the watch for profit The entire dog and pony show is about this. Rolex, like Ticketmaster, wants to sell as much as possible. But they’re mindful of not selling to scalpers in an attempt to control their brand.
