Friday evening, I attended a Rolex get-together, arranged by authorized Rolex dealer Schaap ~ Citroen . On Saturday I attended the SAHH (Salon Amsterdam de la Haute Horlogerie) to look at all the novelties from Audemars Piguet, Baume et Mercier, Cartier, IWC, Jeager-LeCoultre, Panerai, Piaget, Richard Mille and Roger Dubuis. The SAHH event was hosted by Gassan Diamonds in Amsterdam. And on Sunday, we had our Horloges & Espresso meeting with a bunch of watch nuts in The Hague, organized every first Sunday of the month.
To start with the first, the Schaap ~ Citroen @Home programme, organized a get-together for a few Rolex enthusiasts from The Netherlands. Together with Ronny Wooter (former auctioneer at Sotheby?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s) and a team of Schaap ~ Citroen, we received a nice presentation on their stores, vision on selling and of course, Rolex watches. Some great insights on sales, customers and Rolex were shared with us during the evening. A few of these insights on Rolex watches are:
- Rolex does not use laser engraved sapphire green crystals for the Milgauss;
- The laser engraved ?¢‚ǨÀúS?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢ will disappear from the replacement sapphire crystals that are being used when a watch is being serviced;
- The laser engraved Rolex logo is ALWAYS on 6 o?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢clock, it is done after the crystal has been put on the timepiece.
