Tony sent a message to Jean-Frédéric Dufour, CEO of Zenith, will be taking the reins as global CEO of Rolex – email address that said:
I do hope you do not mind me emailing you. I am sure you are extremely busy.
I currently work for a uk pawnbroker on a very modest salary. I have for many years always wanted a bi metal Datejust after loosing one my grandfather left me when he passed. Finances have always been an issue but when I turned 40 this year, I promised myself that I would get one so I found a pre owned datejust with black dial on eBay for £4000 and decided to put it on my credit card as a treat and pay off for it. I was really looking forward to receiving it but the seller kept me waiting. After numerous attempts at contact i contacted eBay as the seller never returned my emails. Long story short, he was a fraud, and after a battle with PayPal they decided not to return my money as I had waited to long to claim and so I lost £4000 (of which I now have to pay and have no watch to show for it)
I know it's a long shot but I was wondering if there is anything you can do to make my dream of owning a Rolex a reality. I am willing to advertise your brand and do anything you request in return for this.
I thank you for taking the time in reading what is this hopeful message and I look forward to a response from you.
Many thanks again
Yours hopefully
Tony
