I hate watch flippers but what’s the best place to offload a brand new dj? I want a Daytona and my AD said I need some purchase history. So bought whatever he had (blue dj 36. Oyster and not fluted) so have no interest in it. Will any sort of watch reseller be my best bet for speed purposes?

I am thankful that I have never wanted something in life so bad that I had to buy something I didn’t want just for the opportunity to buy the thing I did want. Still, good luck in your quest.

I’ll be blunt. If you want a Daytona, pay the market price and you’ll have one tomorrow. If that’s a problem for you, then you can’t afford one, even at MSRP.

M1 yeah, but that $25k isn’t going to be enough to qualify you for a Daytona and it’s not like you’re getting other high demand watches. They aren’t going to sell you a Daytona because you bought a GMT Master II and two Submariners.
A lot of ADs in T1 markets won’t even entertain selling you a Daytona if you don’t have a six figure spend history with them.
The cheapest way to get a Daytona if you don’t have a well established history with an AD is to buy it on the grey market.

As a person that has worked for a Rolex AD as a Rolex salesman, I can tell you that 250K of expenses at an AD in a year won't get you a Daytona with most Rolex ADs in the US. This is right now. It was different before.

Sell it on the Rolex Forums if you’re chasing top dollar. If you just want to unload it sell it to a known reseller.
Also, i don’t think a DJ is going to get you close to a Daytona. My friend had a $50k spend history with a local AD, waited almost three years to get a Daytona. I’ve heard stories of ADs requiring a six figure spend history for you to even be considered. God speed.

DM me

You can totally make 10% more than retail on that. Try TDs, or Chrono24, or Reddit. Reddit might help you offload it quicker than others I feel.

Hope you get your Daytona soon!

Lol you moght be able to trade yourself ointo being able to buy a grey market daytona

Im interested. Price?

Managers and partners, when did you know this was the path you wanted? I found out recently I made manager this year and most of me is excited, but a small part is worried I’m pigeonholing myself.

Any insight?

Left PA and started industry remotely. Haven’t been in the office. Met my team one time. Tips are to always be on video for even the smallest of calls. Take a ridiculous amount of notes. In downtime, go through your notes and come up with questions by reperforming old work. Set up recurring question sessions with your team so you know what to do next time. Set up performance meetings even monthly because it’s hard to get a gauge on your performance

Hi relative newb here - own a pre-owned Hamilton and Tag and looking for my first brand new luxury piece. Not willing to have a spend history to get on a Rolex list - this caught my eye today, any chance of getting a discount? Presuming going to a AD is a better chance than a boutique? Thanks for any and all comments, good and bad. I’m debating between this and a Tudor BB. Happy holidays and cheers!
