I already fed up with the Rolex AD game. This morning, I went to a V C boutique store (only one in Ontario, Canada), and put a deposit to order an Overseas Dual Time, Blue Dial. No previous sales history, no BS. Just smooth transaction. The estimated arrival date will be 3-6 months.

Honey is the cure! Regarding the inventory, I’m pretty sure they have watches in the safe, then they decide the allocation according to their priority. How long does it take to do that, it depends from the AD. Of course they move them fast. This is not your experience, fine. It’s mine, and it’s shared by many other customers. |

1. I don’t need your permission to be entitled to my own opinion and express it in a public forum 2. I believe ADs have some inventory. 3. Having a camomile with some honey could help you being more calm and less bitter ;) |

Nothing about this is unkind. It’s just the truth. I don’t think anyone has said anything personal. It’s how the AD operate. Some will fight tooth and nail to believe some crazy conspiracy that AD don’t want to sell watches, they’re just holding onto them waiting for Brad Pitt or DiCaprio to walk in so they can sell it to those guys… Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |

Ah… lack of practicality is a sign of our times.
It’s obvious that they have some SS models in the safe. They allocate them quickly, but they have some. Otherwise how did they allocated a sub no data to me in less than 5 days? Considering that I asked on Thursday evening, that they don’t get deliveries over the weekend, and 1 day they were closed. I don’t doubt that other’s experience might be different, but this is the objective reality. If there is a waiting list of months/year for a simple sub… how comes they got it ready for me in few hours? They either have some inventory and they decide how to allocate them, or I’m super lucky, there were zero requests for the sub and they got a delivery the day that they gave me the call. What are the odds? Anyway, who cares. This relation with the AD works for me ;) |

I would say that the majority of stock comes in and is then immediately spoken for. However I do not doubt for a second that some SS pieces may linger for a few days as the AD decides on the best path forward. They are looking to satisfy existing clients and build new business.
I know one large independent AD that has a sit-down meeting for each shipment to discuss who they will go to. I could see where a watch could sit for a few days if someone declines or a new inquiry is made that sparks their interest. |

They explained to me they had been holding the piece for someone and he called an canceled. That they called someone else about it and had been waiting for several days for a return call. If I wanted it I could have it. Hell man, I even asked if I could have a few days to think about it. early the next week I was wearing it. So basically what I am telling you is that each AD handles things differently. So don't be so condescending when you tell someone they tell you their experience and their own thoughts. The truth is you may both be right. By the way, I have been told by my local AD that they keep pieces in the safe sometimes and the SA has to "sell the client." All because of flippers. Truth be told... |

Who would of thought that a guy who picked the name "thecrownprince" for himself is a total prick? Christ dude, I bet you're a charmer in person. You said people "need to" stop telling their stories, or what you call misinformation. Let me ask you this.. why do they need to? And what can you do about it if they don't, besides sounding like a douche on the internet? The answer is nothing of course. You and every other obnoxious blowhard can do absolutely nothing about it. Guys like you truly do a disservice to the brand you're such a fanboi for. Why can't you just say congrats and be on your miserable way?

Lol you must the sad angry person at every party. I my post only said to stop spreading false info (and many others agreed). You proceed to use name calling to make your point. I’m not gonna stoop to your level. A disservice to the brand? Who are you again? Oh another sad lonely keyboard warriors name calling people on the internet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |

Nobody is saying all AD have 5 Daytona’s and 10 GMTs out the back, but I can confirm my AD told me they do carry a small volume of stock ready to sell to preferred client and VIPs for when they visit. You believe what you want, who am I to question what your AD told you? But don't just assume every other AD in the world has the same strategy as yours and then shoot people down if they dare to disagree. |

I walked into an AD two hours before close and was told they have nothing. Then got home and followed up with a somewhat long email talking about my history with watches, attesting that I was not a flipper, etc. The very next morning the AD called and said "they were able to get" the bluesy that I wanted. It's the only AD for hundreds of miles. Highly unlikely the thing happened to arrive from Rolex that next morning. Clearly they had it previously.
But, I have also been told that Rolex corporate is aware of when an AD actually sells a watch and therefore the AD will not get their next allocation piece until the previous one has sold. So an AD wouldn't be able to stockpile 20 LVs in their safe because Rolex would have stopped sending subsequent ones when the first one(s) didn't sell. IF this is true I would say it is a positive thing for the consumer because it does give some incentive to ADs to move product versus hoarding in hopes that a whale will walk through the door. |
