Check for Daytona List at an AD

[Gaijin]

So I was snooping around at an AD today (not the one I buy my Rolex at) and I asked them "How much would I have to spend in order to get a SS Daytona."

Salesperson, "We can order you one." Me "Really!?" "Ok, order me one." She pulls out a Rolex catalogue and tries to steer me to the WG version. I tell her I don't want the WG version. She says "Let me check on the price for a SS Daytona." I say "Its $7900" as she flips through looking for it, completley ignoring me. I say again, "$7900." She then finds it and says, "Its $7900."


Uh-huh. Ok. So I ask her to order me one just for fun. SCREEEEEEECHING HALT>

She figures out what the heck I am talking about. She then tells me they "Have a list." I said, "I know, I am on it." I ask her to check where I am on the list and she refers me to the General Manager.

General Manager Dude tells me he'll check where I am on the list. Guy actually pulls out a list on a yellow sheet of paper. From what I can see there are 36 names (I looked down at the bottom and saw a name next to number 36. That was just page one.) He checks, I am not even on thier list. He asks me if I want to be on thier list (I thought I already was.) I tell him not to bother.


The owner took my name down over 6 months ago and never put me on the list. So guys if you think you are on a list, ask to see the list. I believe most ADs don't even have "lists" (but take your name down to make you go away.) They sell to whoever they fancy. That was how I got mine from my AD.

This AD today actually had a list that I asked to be put on, but never was.

So don't let yourself think you are on a list. Check. Ask to see it. Check to see if you are on it. I am surprised they even had one. They did. I was not surprised that they never put my name on it.
