jeweled pieces ilikerolexes

How does one best get jeweled pieces? I am interested in some of the GMT jeweled pieces. Any success in getting them?

Ask your SA at Rolex boutique/AD. It will be very hard to acquire or you can go for secondary market at a very high price.

It is very gorgeous timepiece.

you need to spend an insane amount to be considered for them from what i've read. ilikerolexes' collection is insane so he can probably get any watch at this point...he's about as vvvvip as you can get

Drop a hundred grand or so and it opens the door to buy one for a hundred grand or so. Weird concept but it’s the game now.
Or spend about the same amount and save time and ass kissing and just buy at market price, which might actually be cheaper than throwing money at the AD buying stuff you really don’t want.

Talk to your AD is the logical step. What did they say?

$100k won’t even cut it now. Maybe $300k or so.
Anyway these things are so rare only the big ADs get them.

I actually just asked about that and $400,000-500,000 spend in Vegas is no guarantee. It would take that and them getting to know you over time. Believe it or not people want to buy 50 $10,000 watches just to get that one and they say no.
