Looking to buy a Rolex submariner. First time buying a Rolex. Called up a bunch of stores, and of course it’s not available. Couple of stores took down my info, and promised to call me back when it’s available. Do you think it’s reliable that they’d actually call? Or should I just go down to the store to increase my chances of getting one? Based in Toronto..

They will not call. If you go in person they still most likely won’t call. Do you know someone that has already bought a watch from them? I would use that person to make the introduction. That increases your chances but it will still be tough. If you really want it now then you have to look into the grey market

Definitely go in person, a call is nothing. An introduction would be helpful, but don’t lose hope I scored one with no prior purchase history or connection. Took couple months

Go and see in person. Demonstrate that your serious about buying and how once you get it you’re planning on buying datejust for SO etc.

Thank you, this is certainly very helpful to know! I am new to the country and don’t know anyone who has bought a luxury watch here, so it’s going to be from scratch for me.

Follow-up Q: is visiting once enough or should I keep visiting at a certain frequency? What frequency is appropriate without coming across as desperate (which I am btw!)

You can get one tomorrow if you pay the grey market price.

Any creative ideas are welcome!
