My experience with an AD

Went in 3 different times. Took the watch home the third visit. Had bought my Tag and a few other things there before. My sales guy (Don) was excellent in every aspect. Thought about Gray Dealer, but I think part of the experience is a professional transaction. The nice discount didn't hurt either....the only thing I never thought to ask is "What is Samoa on the outside box?

That's pretty weird.

I can't imagine what that means or how pertains to Rolex.

Congratulations on the new watch.

I've lost count of all the new 14060 Subs that have been shown off here in the last few days.

Great looking Rolex!

I purchased a new DJII for my wife from an Vancouver AD and it also has this label on the white outer box. I was told at the time what this label meant, but I can't totally remember the reason (something about AD location, I think). I will have to ask again on my next trip to the AD.

Just a reminder to the AD which box to give you when you buy your SS sports watch.

It's because my girlfriend is in West Somoa visiting family for the month of December.

There are great dealers out there and if no one supported them the whole thing falls apart like a house of cards. They are there when you need extra links, or bezel inserts, or other type of support. I maintain a close relationship with a couple of dealers.
