A lucky call

Salesperson initiative can make a difference it seems, or maybe just luck. But my AD called me last night to offer me a 116500, obviously I took it.

Was in a rush as we are going away for a week so it's at the house still in it's coffin until we return.

Stock always arrives on the 20th at the ADs, and they had some other nice pieces like the BLNR and Pepsi, obviously waiting to be picked up.

As Rolex figures out who sold you the Daytona with the plastic case - you will have to find a new AD for your next purchase!

Thanks all

Not sure why it can't be sold with the coffin, every watch I've ever bought has it included. I've never been the speculation type and they know it.

The Ads are not allowed anymore under no circumstances to give out the coffins. Its the same directive whice says that they have to remove all stickers and keep the the price tag with the serial.... Ad`s who dont follow that directive will be removed the same way as the stickers!

Congratulations! One of the best SS in the current lineup (and hardest to get no doubt).

Silly policy IMO. Doesn't stop flippers one iota, this no coffin, stickers, white tag, bezel protector, etc. business. Prices are still at record highs. I have a couple of coffins from previous purchases, what's to stop me from just storing my recently acquired pieces in them?
