I got my SS Daytona from my AD about a year ago…since then, we’ve have a lot of good conversation, but no watches…at least for me. They sourced me a SS sub date for my little brother for his college graduation within a couple weeks, but anything I ask for it seems like it’s never going to happen since I got the SS Daytona?

They know I want a skydweller and GMT - with emphasis on CHNR when I tried on multiple times.

Who else has been shut down by their AD post 116500?

Same here.

Got mine in 2018 and haven’t gotten another watch since. Given I haven’t asked for much, but I have asked…

Good question.

Not a 500 but my last pickup from my A D was a 126715 and since then the faucet has been turned off. Granted I’ve only asked for a 505 or 515.

Rolex is now telling the ADs to sell to first time customers as a priority and spread the love around.

They can't dictate to ADs who they sell the watches to. Rolex has no power over the ADs.

Haha - Rolex decide the number of watches and specific models the ADs get. Easy to keep them in line and follow the Rolex mantra from Head Office.

Someone else is having the same experience as me! After I got my SS Daytona Dec. 2020, I have tried to get a way “easier” Sub but I get nothing. He says he’ll do it but then I don’t get the call. I have even purchased 3 easy to get Breitlings since the Daytona, but I guess I haven’t hit that magic dollar amount that allows me another SS Rolex….

Is your AD a Rolex only AD?

asiparks · 4 April 2022, 11:12 AM

trying really hard to shed a tear for those complaining they've got themselves a Daytona, but not a second or third desirable model after that....

Maybe your AD has other customers who also would like a watch ?

Are you looking for a 2 tone CHNR or full rose? I would think they would be able to fill the 2 tone quick.

No, I just want a plain SS Sub date, I bet they get one per week of those. I already have a SS DSSD Blue, and SD43 so want to complete my diver collection. I’m just surprised he’s taken this long.

So my AD has other brands and since I’m a non discriminating watch guy, I like other brand and buy often from him, right out of the case. But I do feel that ever since I got my Daytona just over a year ago, he doesn’t want to talk about Rolex as much and is holding back.

I have stopped bothering buying a new Rolex from an AD,
I am looking at used Rolex watches only in watch shows and from private buyers.

Golfbone · 4 April 2022, 11:42 AM

After I got a 116500 black I was offered a Blue Sky Dweller jubilee which I bought and a Sub date 41 which I bought. No lockout here but at this stage there's not much I really want left. I asked for a Meteorite Daytona and he giggled a bit. Wanted a blue 36 OP for my wife and he said he's trying but hasn't seen it yet....if he did it would be mine.....etc. I'm not complaining that's for sure.

brucethemanlee · 4 April 2022, 11:49 AM

My AD is great! After my 116500 white dial from my AD.....

My AD got me....
