how often do u call or go to your AD to check on the status? i was told i am the next in line so i am very excited. they sold their last one in april and i should get mine before the end of the year...but now i am nervous and worry that they would lost my phone number or sell it to some walkin guy who's willing to pay a premium for it...so now i go to my AD every 3 weeks or so to check. am i being too paranoid?

You never know how conscientious your dealer is....or the people he has working for him

I would stop in and call at least weekly until they got tired of me.....but they would know I was serious...

Ronnie Rolex · 2 October 2007, 12:45 PM

I would be on top of it too. Stop by whenever you're in the area to check-in.

Good luck!

They are your AD and you do business with them, so nothing wrong with stopping in or calling frequently.

Robb · 2 October 2007, 07:39 PM

I just wait.

They will call!

You make make your AD nevous that you may run into the other 10 people that they also told are next in line for a SS Daytona.

Chris B · 2 October 2007, 11:28 PM

No harm in dropping in (once a week, lol) to make sure they have your correct number.

How about throwing a brick through their window once a month until they are forthcoming with the 116520?

JPP · 3 October 2007, 04:27 AM

Yup - what waiting list! There isn't one in the UK in any AD. It's an urban myth - they just sell them straight to their biggest spenders. It's been like that for years - the "waiting list" is just an excuse. And a poor one at that.

So if you are on one outside of the UK I would definitely call every week.

This is absolutely true. I've been learning alot about this over the past 3 months and I've found this to be the case with many ADs.

Welcome to TRF!

When I ordered my SS Daytona on the 26th. of April this year, my AD told me that he had JUST received one during Easter, but that it (of course) was sold.

I persuaded him to let me have the NEXT SS Daytona coming in since I have bought a lot of Rolex watches from him before.

I waited 5 months to get it on the 28th. of September. During that time, I called him one time each month just to show I meant business.

As long as you ask politely and don't get him on his nerves, I guess it is alright calling in to check the status once in a while, but I would not do it every week.

Good luck!

I know that I have the next one that comes through the door. They know I will take white or black. I have told them that I would rather have white but I will take either one!!!!

They know how to get ahold of me so I dont bother calling!!!

Basically the same story here, Rob!

I gave him two email addresses, three phone numbers and invited him to SMS me, too

I got messages flying in all places
