Was in Eisman’s over the weekend, and it was an s* show. So many people in there “connecting” with their AD’s like they were best friends, it was disgusting. I’ve made a couple of “relationships” there, but never formally asked for anything, but this time I did. I felt sleazy about the whole thing, so I went home and went gray! My SA basically said that the manager approves all purchases. Not worth it, impossible to compete with the money flowing through there.
Btw, Steve Sixta is kinda cool at Bachendorf’s. He’s been there forever and little crusty. I’ve never pressed him for anything, but seems to be someone you could work with. |

This thread delivers.
PS. To everyone still trying to spend money on things they don’t want so they can “save money” on the things they want, get a grip. |

I live in the DFW area. I bought my first Rolex from Haltom's in Ft Worth last year. It is a Datejust ss. I tried to get a Sub or GMT this year and the SA said OP and DJ are possible. I contacted a grey mkt dealer and found a Submariner Date in mint condition. It arrived today. PM if you want the dealer name.

I have never understood why someone would buy something they don't want to get an allocation that seems stupid, but at the same time if you are going to spend the money anyway why not have it help you get something you want.

Eiseman has all the hot pieces allocated for customers that purchase other items. They offered a Daytona that I requested in less than a week after becoming a customer.

I'd call ahead and ask for a time you could come try on one. If they say they don't have any exhibition models, well I guess there is your answer. Just ring the ones in the area. Dallas, Southlake, Fort Worth. I like Eiseman, just to give a counterpoint to earlier views. I do not have bad experiences at all from there.

Dallas is even worse now than ever, because all the loud/new money moving in from Cali. Old school Dallas had more money than you ever dreamed of and didn’t have to tell you about it.
New Dallas is very different….. thus I expect a RM store any day lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I deal with M&B Watches out of Dallas or DFW Watches.
Most ADs will pass over small guys for their whale clients. Brett & Mickey from M&B have taken me to dinner several times. Matt from DFW and I have gone shooting several times, he always brings the coolest toys and lets me play with them.

Dallas is a hard city man, you have to buy some stuff like jewelry and low tier watches to get your name up the "list". I'm in Houston and I've had no luck without a purchase history either.

It is the current market. I do not see it changing any time soon except used prices may soften a little bit more. But not enough to help ease the situation at ADs.
