I got so many calls from my AD asking if I wanted a SS Daytona that I had to change my number and move. Just kidding. It’s nice reading that ADs are calling their prospective clients and offering pieces. Hopefully supply is picking up

My brother just picked up SD43 in St. Martin US Virgin Island. First time there and was lucky enough to find one right away. They had a Sub also, but he decided to SD :)

Yep serious. Checked it out yesterday. And I am by no means a whale. I’ve bought at total of 4 modest watches and some jewelry from them. No 35k day-dates or 40k diamond necklaces. He bumped me to the top of the list clear and simple. Said if I didn’t take it he had 20 more who are ready. I believe him on that. Even took it outside to confirm that yes, the blue is a bit darker than it used to be.

I actually hardly made on it! AD charging a total of 7.75% tax on top of retail, not much meat left on the bone. But when she calls with the Daytona, there will be some $.

Yeah, better watch out. Your AD may get flagged by the Rolex mothership and shut down for selling to flippers...

I don't think he will do that if he has access to high demand models and can flip them for a 3k profit on TRF.

Be very careful.....one call to your AD by someone and you’ll likely be blacklisted.

If they call again, tell them that you're compiling a list of all the discount offers you're getting from ADs

Are both of you unmarried?

I called NorCal AD (one nearest work) yesterday to inquire about my place on LVC waitlist .... still #4 with little relief in sight.

Asked about SS professional inventory - zip.

great to see the relationship built with the AD after a couple watch purchases. Wonder if you could score a BLRO BLNR or LV? sure someone on here would reacquire it from you..

I received 2 calls in a week and none of them were about watches. I just wanted to say why the F#@$ are you calling me then. These games are making me lose interest in Rolex by the minute.

That's awesome. Very glad to hear they were able to rectify that for you so quickly after confronting them.

Bezel colors look amazing in your photo btw.

There’s not a person on this thread that doesn’t wish they had this problem!

My AD keeps calling me to unload SS Daytonas, SD43s, DSSD-blue, and of course those pesky Pepsi’s. What should I do???
