I visited a couple ADs today, looking to try on a blue dial DJ41 with oyster bracelet. I need up trying on a fluted DJ with oyster and black diamond dial. It looked surprisingly good and understated.

However, I thought it was unnecessary for the salesman to say to me, as he pointed to a half full DJ case, "You better buy it today, that case is going to be empty next week and Rolex isn't going to send us any more until next year.

Yeah, dumb comment. Unnecessary. But I'd imagine with all the calls and drop ins they get by people looking for a Sub, Daytona, etc. and having no stock of them they have to do something when a buyer shows real interest in a DJ. It's too bad they have such poor ideas of how to motivate someone to buy.

Funny thing happened while in the shop. There were two guys picking up a watch that had been purchased. It was a TT DJ41 with champagne diamond dial. I said, "Oh, you have a DJ41, as well." While the new owner was trying it on, his friend looked at the DJ41 I had on with oyster, fluted, and black diamond dial and said to his friend, "His looks better than yours, too."

Stupid is as stupid does or says in this case.

CRM114 · 19 August 2018, 01:52 PM

So what happens if you go back in 2 weeks to purchase and there aren't any more DJs, with no new shipments expected until after the Swiss Christmas holiday season manufacturing shut-down is over?

Admit it. That would be friggin' hilarious. Just imagine the look on your face.

Imagine the look on the ADs face when they have zero inventory to sell until Q2 next year !

Not as friggin' hilarious as the look on the salesman's face when the OP goes back in 2 weeks and the case looks exactly the same as it did 2 weeks before.

Would love to have called him/her out right then and there... cringe worthy statement. I might have walked right out after hearing that.

DoctorA · 19 August 2018, 02:24 PM

I wonder why that doesn’t apply to the ss Daytona, Pepsi and skydweller sitting in their vaults!!

sasilm2 · 19 August 2018, 02:25 PM

I guess that's where true salesmanship comes along. There are always good sales people and bad ones . This guy or girl just happened to be the bad apple in the sales team and said something stupid

Thats used car salesman tactics. "Oh I gotta a guy coming to look at it. Better buy now."

Did the salesman have on a silk shirt, gold chain and plaid pants?

I would have roundhouse kicked him in the head and then done gymnast handsprings out the door, down the sidewalk, and up onto my horse tied to a parking meter and galloped out of town whooping and hollering, emptying my Peacemakers at the sky.

This made me laugh out loud and nearly spit out my coffee. Thanks for that!

‘Panic’ selling tactic.

I would wait till next week to see if it is empty or not.

jezza17 · 19 August 2018, 06:37 PM

This stuff is said all the time by AD’s. I just ignore them.

hnn17 · 19 August 2018, 06:40 PM

Right, go back next week and see if it's what he said or not. Then tell him not to bs so much next time.

I was going to say the same thing! My watch is .0005 of a second off, the crown is not straight when tightened, the dial is a little off when I use my loupe, which watch should I wear to church?

I cant believe there are 85 replies on this thread based on the original post where a salesman told a customer to buy an item that someone else might buy?

As for Rolex replacing that particular model at that AD in the near future.....fat chance IMO.

I would not put too much into his comment. He was just trying to see how serious you were about pulling the trigger on your DJ.

I would have said sometime like, "it is all good, I can wait until next spring after Basel 2019 to see the new models before I make up my mind."

When people try to rush me, makes me want to slow down even more. 😊
