Trying to go through an AD for a sports Rolex for the first time. I knew what I was getting myself into from the beginning but going through the process myself is really making me like Rolex a lot less...

Getting into Rolex now is like just starting to get into Bitcoin, you got into the game kinda late.

This is pretty accurate, unfortunately. Luckily there are lots of good alternatives that can provide great joy and excellent timekeeping.

I have a friend who wanted a sub for his birthday. He went into the AD with his cousin, a repeat customer. The AD said he'll see what he can do. A couple of hours later they received a call that he can choose between a hulk or a no date, available for immediate purchase. My friend's only 'mistake' was picking the no date. Bought it same day.

Moral of the story: if you're well connected you can get what you want when you want it 🤑

I feel you... going for a turquoise OP and I know it’s in high demand, but popping into the AD once a month and just hearing “yeah the list is full but keep coming in and maybe that’ll change” is disheartening. Having a purchase history is important, but they make it so hard to even start a purchase history...

It’s not the sales team, it’s if you have to send a watch you own in for service. Then again, I’ve heard horror stories from Rolex and Omega. I retract my statement; buy what you love, haha.

I finally found success. Like, today. Haha

It came thru multiple visits. My relationship was built first by being a nice person having casual human conversations. Current events. Then I showed I was a real watch person and not a flipper by talking about movements, and industry trends.

Salespeople have bosses they report to, too. Give them something to say why you deserve the watch.

This wasn’t a formula I walked in the door with, just analyzing in retrospect. Just be a cool person, I guess?
