And frankly, I don't know what that way is.

Maybe it's e-commerce.

I don't believe in that.

I don't know.

Maybe it's actual waiting lists where people can actually put their name down and say, okay, this person's at number 1,123.

When you get to that thing, you'll get the watch.

That doesn't exist.

And the idea that the waiting lists are even referenced by Rolex today is nonsense.

There's no such thing.

If you know somebody at Rolex, you'll get the watch.

If you bought a bunch of watches that they can't sell, then you'll get the one that they can sell.

It's a gift, basically.

And again, I want to be clear, Rolex is not alone.

Several brands that are very hot right now are doing the same thing.

But man, both my parents were teachers.

The fact that I have more than one Rolex is still shocking.

Like, I'm just happy to be here.

And so I think of if I wasn't me in the watch world, but I had made a few thousand bucks, I wanted to buy one of these things.

How disappointed you would be, how angry you would be that you just worked your fucking ass off for the last 40 years to get to a point where you can afford this thing.

And you're told no.
