I’ll be honest. I’d buy it and sell it to offset the cost of the one I kept. I know I’ll get flamed for saying that but it would be the best decision for me financially.
I’ve paid some gigantic premiums and wouldn’t feel bad about it at all.

But I'm in a dilemma. I was allocated this model at a Rolex-only boutique/AD with no purchase history, just a good relationship and a good story.

On the other hand, I've been building a spend history/relationship since early 2023 with a local showroom jeweler + Rolex AD. I'm likely going to get a call for another Sprite in the next few weeks leading up to my wedding.

Do I reject it, or take the allocation to hold/sell/gift to family member?
