I made "the call" to the AD

[M@2]

Called my AD today to let them know I procured the watch I was looking for. I'd been on "the list" about a year, and this was not a particularly tough to get watch (Submariner, no date). It was actually a very cordial and interesting conversation, where he talked about his frustration with "the process" as he called it. I appreciate his words, they felt sincere, and we'd had some good convos in the past that he referenced. I mainly wanted to advise them so I would not delay someone else getting it. Anyway, I laughed thinking about how this was a "the call" reversal. I did mention wanting an OP (42with green dial) and he said he'd "find one for me"

What does your relationship look like with the AD?

[Steele]

That’s great that you guys had a good conversation I respect that

[rolexnerd]

Why don’t you just stay on the list?

I think this will actually help you get your next watch faster. Which AD was it?

He’s got the watch elsewhere, and now wants another piece instead from the AD (green OP)

Congrats on your Sub!

Why don't you tell us why you think he should?

Congratulations on your new Sub. It's the Classic!

Congratulations on your Sub.

There were two Rolex watches I didn't end up getting from my AD. I took them both in and they authenticated them. This wasn't necessary but it was a kind gesture and it would have been rude to refuse. I've alway believed my AD has been straightforward with me and I respond accordingly. We get on well, although I haven't lost sight of my role in the "relationship".

Yep, the new “the call reversal” to the AD…how things have changed over the years…

You waited longer than I would have. Congratulations on your new Sub!

Congratulations on your new Submariner.

You may be waiting for a while on an OP 42 … I don’t think Rolex manufactures this model yet

Total Savage move, much respect

Thanks! Yah, I got a great price and figured why wait any longer...

Hard to say since we are still at the "having good conversations/AD says he looks forward to getting me the watches I'm looking for". I can't bring myself to buy random jewelry so no spend history at this location (and they do not carry Tudor). He did offer me a DJ that was on my original list but was since dropped.
