You are correct, Juicy is the song. Thank you for clarifying.

Local AD is telling you no chance. One DJ purchase ain't going to get you a green sub.

The AD in Thailand is almost definitely not going to get you one either if you have no purchase history with them. Saying 1 to 2 years means nothing.

Sorry, but that's how I see it.

I must be one of the luckiest on this forum..... Spoke with SA on phone at AD about 50 miles from home. No history here. She suggests I come in and try on some exhibition models. A few days later, we visit the new AD and meet the nice SA who invited me to the store. Spent 45 minutes trying on Exhibition models and didn't make any purchases. SA recorded my wants (any Sub, preference is a LV), anniversary date, BD and other info....Returned about 10 days later and made a purchase ($1200) for the wife. While there, SA cleans wife's President Datejust and her rings. No Subs, she says maybe before upcoming birthday two months away. Three days later, AD gets in a Sub LV and the SA says to owner I'd like sell that one to a new customer of mine. Owner says call him and offer it. It's on my wrist... I guess I could have gone grey for $24,000 but I went AD for $10,600+ tax.....Lucky or "establishing a relationship"?

5 Yrs it’s more like - we don’t care for your business and should leave the store and never come back don’t take offense to it, as they probably turn down customers daily with the same schtick!!!

Look for another AD…

5 years is very much a “beat it” response. I have been told 1-2 years with no purchase history.

That is how you do it. Must have made a solid impression.

You can't 'order' the watch. You can register your interest in purchasing it.

Agree with others. 5 yrs is a polite term for never.

Getting an AD to sell you anything is impossible.
