Time for a new AD or, better yet, the Grey market.

did you see the rock on her finger? she has a AP (re)mastered. she has a gold Omega speedy.

Money is clearly not issue for her (.... or whoever is funding her)

Stores love people like her and are more than happy to keep her happy because its a steady stream of income for the store because for every SS piece she gets she probably picks up some PM

For the masses (and i'm generalizing). They want their one SS piece and that's their watch for the next 10 years or ever.

The store would rather sell to her over the one and done person
Indeed...her collection is quite impressive. She makes all the NYC AD's swoon...lol

If you are a VIP you get VIP treatment. Why this is hard to understand is shocking. Especially since this forum is full of bright people.
agreed. didn't mean to make it hard for anyone to understand.

Why would the VIP client do that ?
good question.

I can’t imagine anything like this happening at my AD. I guess I’m a vip at my AD with a little v, I can get what I ask for but I certainly don’t leapfrog over others to do it.
I think someone I refer to my SA would be treated fairly but I hardly think they would get “my place on the list” for a first time purchase.

Yeah, her YouTube channel has 700 subscribers! She’s crushing it.

She’s obviously a spender, however a former NYC SA told me they deliberately hold back inventory at the NYC Rolex ADs fwiw.

Doc franken, sarcasm, however flattering it is, will get you nowhere but thank you for the astute feedback on the AD sitch in NYC. That’s inside trader level info

His SA tells him of another customer, who apparently pulls a lot more weight, and who may be able to help him out.
Sure enough, said customer requests a batman and is told next month is not a problem. Not exactly sure how the exchange is supposed to happen since the two don't know each other, but I thought I would share this story.
Sounds like his dealer was being honest with him , those kind of dealers are rare these days
