Reading this reminded me of the fun and games trying to purchase a Rolex over the last few years. I wonder if anyone will take legal action for being denied the opportunity to spend £10k+ on a watch

At least bags are still made by hand there. Unlike million plus per year oystersteels
I was interested to read about the purveyors of winebar battle-clubs having exploiting this practice all the way back to the 1990s - evidently where Rolex copied it from. As ever, more-fool the customers who allow themselves to be bent-over like this.
Sound familiar?
Their suit accuses Hermès of “unlawful tying”: getting customers to buy items such as scarves, jewellery, clothing and home goods to demonstrate “sufficient purchase history”, in order to prove themselves “worthy” of a Birkin.
What's the timekeeping like?
Fascinating read, thanks.
Humans are endlessly fascinating, what we pursue and put up with in the pursuit of…. differentiation? Pleasure? Recognition?
Anyway, enjoyable read and a lot of parallels to watches, thanks
It's the same tactic that Ferrari and Porsche use.
if folk are stupid enough to pay these prices for stuff then they get what they all deserve .
There is an important difference.
The Rolex practices are not an enforcement by the company but the ADs.
