After years of playing the AD game, I finally got a call saying a Daytona had arrived with my name on it. I was keen on a steel model or an oyster flex, but alas have been offered a full rose gold engraved (non-ceramic) bezel. Not something I’m toooo keen on but I also don’t know when the opportunity would arise again. AD has told me to take my time and think about it. What would you’ll do ? I’m thinking of just sitting/ waiting

I would buy the watch that I actually want. What is there to think about? You want to drop so much money for a watch you need to ask strangers on the internet about? Stay on the list and wait for what you applied for or go to other ADs.

Yeah, guess I am just caught up in my own head and need validation from the strangers

If you want the watch, buy it. If you don’t want the watch, don’t buy it.

It’s that simple.

But if you’re prepared to buy something that isn’t what you ordered, that’s your decision as it’s your money. But if I’m looking for an Oystersteel Daytona, I wouldn’t bother buying a rose-gold one, as it’s not the one I want.

This is just a case of an AD who bought a product that they can’t shift. That’s their problem. Find a better AD who can actually get you what you’re looking to buy.

This watch is 3-4x the price of steel. Do you have that kinda money to throw around to get something you don’t want? Might as well spend 2x and go gray on the steel panda.

This! They’re not doing you a favor, they’re asking you to buy a super expensive watch you don’t want, likely more expensive than getting what you want (and receiving it immediately)

This is just a test from your AD - I have said NO several times if it wasn't a watch I wanted and it was never a problem with the AD

like

Say no but say it’s an automatic yes for a steel Daytona

I think the rose gold oyster flex Daytona is a solid watch. But if that’s not what you want, don’t buy it.

It’s not the oyster flex. It’s the full gold bracelet which really makes it look v different

There’s been some turnover over the last six months at my firm, and I have taken over more files.

However, I feel guilty that this is still happening. Any tips for getting over this?

My in-laws used to own a jewelry store, and they had this Omega quartz watch in their storage. I can understand why this wasn’t sold during their clearance sale lol. I had no idea Omega made stuff like this in 1987! I guess they couldn’t help it after the rise of quartz watches in the 70s to 80s. I doubt they’re worth anything even to this day. I see them on eBay for $700-1200, so who knows…
