Correct. Most of this period I was not interested in PP and didn’t purchase any of those either. I had my main contact (acquaintance in private as well) who was in charge of Rolex sales and basically acted as my personal broker as well. She then moved on to another job and I was basically left with no real purchase experience at all even though there had been a great many purchases. And without my contact I never managed to strike up a rapport with the owner. Who, to be fair, is known to be a grade A j*ck*ss who lost AD priviliges with another group/brand due to excessive grey market dealings.
And honestly, you guys can’t fault me for thinking that PP dealer relationships and power dynamics are Byzantine. Because they are. Just wanna get a little basic knowledge before heading into the fray.
