Got a call from Rolex AD and they say they can hold it for me only till this weekend. Is that common/reasonable ? My request was for them to hold it for a week as the AD is not in the same city. First time buyer with this AD.

Just ask them to ship it?

Will they let you pay and then pick it up when you’re ready?

like

Apparently not. I offered to wire immediately and then get there next week.

Yes, that is common, and holding it until the weekend is good. If you’re trying to buy out of your market you need to be prepared to get on a plane with short notice.

If you’re gonna fly out, make sure that they haven’t sold it before you get on the plane.

Thanks for the insight. Its a four hour drive, just that I cant move my commitments this week. The AD is not open to me paying now and collecting next week OR someone collect it on my behalf this weekend.

What watch is it?

My AD would let me pay in advance, would be willing to ship, etc. Sounds like you have a shitty AD.

Currently a Wealth Advisor for Citi but I honestly hate it here with a passion it’s the worst company I’ve ever worked for in my life and I’ve been in Wealth Management in the banking channel for over a decade. Series 7, Series 63, Life, CFP, ChFC, and soon to have my MBA with a focus in Mergers & Acquisitions. I’m look to enter another area of Finance at this point instead of starting over somewhere else from scratch, but not sure what direction to go. Interested in Investment Banking or M&A.

30th birthday present watch accessory ideas.

A lot of knowledge on here so asking for some help. It’s my partner’s birthday and I’ve no idea what to buy him. He’s a watch fanatic - Pateks (sports and dress), Audemars (sports and dress), Rolex (sports), Omega (sports).

I’m obviously not buying him a watch for his birthday (in his dreams!) but any idea for some good accessories? He’s already got a PP watch winder, and has bought multiple nice straps for the dress watches. I’m completely lost.

Super beautiful watch, just thinking it’s a bit flashy for me.

Why would a luxury watch brand make/sell connected or smart watches? What is the business reason for it? To me it just kills the brand value. For instance I was a big fan of Montblanc but after I see their smart watch line up I instantly devalued the brand in general. Same for Tag (tag is questionable anyways), or Breitling. What is your opinion on this topic?

I see them on eBay for $700-1200, so who knows…
