How much did you spend before being offered a SS GMT?
I know everyone’s story will be different and possibly have no indication of how things play out for others but I’m curious.
How much did you spend with your AD before being offered your GMT? What watches did you buy? How long was the wait time for the GMT? |

I waited about nine months for a 126710BLNR on Oyster and bought three watches from that same AD (got it in 2023). My partner also bought one from them. Nothing that I did not want though, I still have all of them and intend to keep them. There was no expectation to buy just to move up the list.
I think it will be very dependent on the AD. More and more people reporting better availability nowadays. Good luck! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

What really gets their attention is your spend on other jewelry and diamonds in the store over the years. |

For me it was 1 sub (no purchase history) and a gold bracelet for my wife that was $500 before I was offered my Batman in Oct-23.

When I first approached my authorized dealer I was speaking with the manager of the store i let him know I would prefer to buy a Rolex from an authorized dealer then the gray Market. It may have been a month or so after that I got a phone call about a submariner he said he had to get the authorization of the owner in order to offer it to me and he got the okay and gave me the call I went and picked it up. I believe it was after that that I had purchased a date just Wimbledon Jubilee two tone rose gold and was offered a Daytona black dial stainless and then a little while later I took my watch collection in simply because i wanted them to see what I had I like showing people that appreciate the watches what I've got and at that time I was offered a gMT stainless steel Red and Blue Bezel i may be one of the fortunate few that has an authorized dealer that's okay with me just purchasing Rolex watches from them and we've developed a very good friendship and I'm very thankful for that.

Did you use the same sales associate for the jewelry and the watch? I ask because my AD has jewelry in a separate part of the building

I’ve had 2 BLNR oyster + jubilee, 2 x CHNR, 1 x BLRO jubilee, 1x lefty. I haven’t asked for the recent GRNR. I did ask for the YG GMT on jubilee but when it arrived I turned it down because the SkyD YG on jubilee was released and I prefer that.
Over 250k spent at the AD over the past 5 or so years. Also had black and white Daytonas, blue SS skyD, two LVs etc

2 Datejusts. One for me. One for my wife. We were going to buy his and her Datejusts anyway, so the GMT BLNR was a nice bonus for me.
