I would rethink that if it's ANY DJ. It can be ladies, TT, diamonds, lots of high margin and unsellable DJs out there. Even if they're SS jubilee 36/41 still a major pain unless you're a reseller yourself. But can't hurt to find out more details from the AD

Unless the AD is proposing the purchase of the DJs being spread out over a longish period of time, it is unlikely to offer such a deal knowing they face the real risk of said buyer dumping some or all of the DJs on the grey market asap.

I guess the SA doesn't care if you flip those shxt DJs, if Watch and Fxxder can take them all, why not.

Of course ADs care.

Why on earth would they bother selling to troublesome individual customers if Watch and Fxxder would, as you put it ‘take them all’.

9 seems to be a magic number. ‘9 days until I found out what my wife bought me’.

id tell that AD to... never mind.

i would not do business with this AD. screams of excessive greed and sounds like very unpleasant folks to do biz with.

btw id just move on from daytona. a nice watch, but no where near as nice as what many hype it up to be.

So to a newbie trying to get his first Rolex any sport watch.!
This sucks a lot.
If your worried about it . Just give the DJs away to charitys. It may ease your pain.

It can only be WOS - Shady as feck.

Personally I wouldn't do it purely out of principle. I too am UK based and grateful I don't have to deal with London WOS as I've heard nothing good about them... even from WOS outside London. Talk about doing their job for them in selling their watches.

If you did bundle the 9, I'm hoping you'd be doing it all in one transaction (same day) to ensure they actually don't renege on the bundle?

And if this is supposed to be a 'deal', you should be able to negotiate a reasonable price on the DJs even though they're being so gracious to allow you a '508' (which I'm hoping is the Green Dial otherwise ). If they're giving you duffer DJs, you should at least be able to discount them @20% to cover your losses and the AD will still be turning a profit - more importantly keeping their quota.

And lastly... if it's purely to make a couple of quid when you've got the 508 by selling it (and overall making a few grand in the process) - then do whatever floats your boat. But if it's because you just can't live without this piece - well, maybe it's time to join your local Addiction Group for therapy!

I had a Green Daytona - IMO, totally over-rated. Great in direct sunlight otherwise meh - I used to think it was a Christmas decoration every time I wore it (the colours). Which was fine at Christmas - but this isn't a seasonal watch.

Ultimately - do whatever floats your boat.
