Firstly, Your aggressive tone is unwelcome and unnecessary. Please let me explain.

Secondly, I am completely aware how acquisitions are conducted from initial communications to successfully clearing fiduciary, regulatory and legal hurdles. I'm sure you know that internal rumors and leaks pertaining to acquisitions at these dollar levels(reads: billions of US dollars) are very much commonplace today. Thusly, very difficult to rein in. Not withstanding, we may find out in the coming months that the Hans Wilsdorf Foundation Governance and the Board Members of Bucherer kept this deal under wraps as long as possible, not unlike other deals outside the Swiss Watch industry. That is, to reduce as much unnecessary scrutiny and/or outside resistance as possible. I hope this helps you. No hard feelings from me. Have a great day.

Apparently they will continue as in the past and sell the other brands as well.
Intersting move by Rolex. We shall see.

I hope you had a good visit and chat. And the "many gold models"?? I assume they weren't the sports type (Daytona, Sub, GMTs, but rather dressier DD and DJ. And were many smaller ladies' size and/or watches decorated with diamonds too? Where I live, still...
Had an excellent time there.

Actually they had a yellow gold Yacht-Master II for sale. But you are correct on the diamond bezels and ladies models.
Independents must be worried

I imagine independents losing their Rolex AD designation if there is a Bucherer or Tourneau nearby.
You fail to realize the point...

It's kept secret until it's publicly released... Thus, nobody in the company who isn't directly involved in the deal would know... This is typical of all major company acquisitions...
Again, your aggressive and childish tone is unwelcome and unsolicited
By: farkbinder01212 : August 27th, 2023-19:51
Although you received ample explanation, your rebuttal? and comments are rife with completely unsolicited hostility. Secondly I gave you a gentlemanly pointed admonition that went many miles over your head. Which is perfectly fine with me, your choice. We...
