Let's say you want a Daytona or some other hard to get model, do you just let them know you want it and they get you one, or do you wait in some kind of queue or something?

She really WEARS her Daytona too (scratches and all).

I find women generally do not ever even remotely sweat the possibility of getting scratches and definitely continue as if nothing happened should there be some.
I wish more men would learn that from them.

I would say I want it and am serious about it, then I'll have it in a few weeks.

I figured it out!!

Phase 1: Regain my aging eyesight,
Phase 2: Somehow become mechanically proficient,
Phase 3: Ace the stringent interview process,
Phase 4: Make into the highly competitive Rolex tech program,
Phase 5: Not fail out of the tech program, and
Phase 6: Get hired by Rolex to work on the bench next to Bas.

Although daunting, this is the quickest way for me to purchase a Daytona.

Oh yeah, that's Phase 2.5.

The ladies at Dallas RSC are talented and good looking too. I never noticed their watches !!

[billfredericks]

It’d be great if she said “had to go grey.”

I got serious for my SS Daytona with the AD I have known for 15 years during the second week of July and picked it up 2 weeks later on the 25th. Oddly enough it took me longer to get my Pepsi from them, somewhere just over a month after of bugging them.

When that AD gets inventory, they surely offer the references to employees with whatever their employee discount is. This is a pretty common practice at most ADs and doesn't surprise me at all. They probably take care of their own first who may be interested in a particular reference and then offer pieces to their best clients. I don't think ADs spend the first year of a release handing out BLROs and Daytonas to their staff, but if someone can afford one surely they move to the top (and why not).

I doubt that Rolex employees get their watches through ADs. I’m certain that AD employees do but not the folks that work directly for Rolex. I believe that Rolex employees get their watches directly from Rolex and at lower price, I have no proof but it wouldn’t surprise me.

Every job has its perks
If she got a Daytona from Rolex directly or throifg special relationship with AD because she works for Rolex .... then all the more power to her
That’s part of the job
If someone is envious of that perk then go work for Rolex or AD

Correct. We forget we all have our own job perks. Doctors get free treatments and meds as professional courtesy. Lawyers get a free pass for that occasional traffic infraction. Corporate officers get free tickets for sponsored concerts and the like.

Truth be told, I’d rather buy or receive service from a rep that owns the brand of car or watch I am buying or having serviced. First they are more knowledgeable about the product. And they also understand the quirks and specific care, or issues known of the brand.

[goog53]

Rolex offers watches at the cost the AD pays to sales associates but they can only buy one model in so many years and the case back gets engraved

[Robtayham]

What brand of watch do you think she should wear? Maybe none at all since she’s just a customer service representative? Or is it the reference that bothered you? Because since all she did was ‘politely smiled’, you have no idea how she acquired that watch.

But, it does make a good ‘drama’ post to state it the way did.

[GB-man]

I have no issues with a rolex employee getting access to a Daytona. It’s not a rare watch in the grand scheme of things.

[Jamie1111]

What’s the point of this thread?? Good for her, she wears a lovely watch

100% agreed

Better she should get and enjoy such a watch than someone just looking to make a quick buck.

Really? THIS specific thing...that the woman at the Canadian RSC service desk wears a nice watch...is why you use independent watchmakers?

My understanding is that a Rolex Boutique is wholly owned and operated by Rolex themselves.
Under this definition, there are NO Rolex Boutiques in the Greater Toronto Area. The Square One mall and Markham locations are Independently owned Dealers, authorized by Rolex to sell Rolex Watches.

Dallas Texas is not in Canada.

Rolex does not own any boutiques, they are all owned and operated privately.

As stated above, your understanding is wrong. All Rolex Boutiques are actually owned by a regular AD in that country.

The OP was talking about a service center, nor a boutique. And yes, I must have picked up Canada from later in the thread. I've been to Dallas, no passport required.

Sadly that’s because many of those ‘people’ are just looking to make a quick couple of bucks vs. really enjoying the watches overall.

Doesn’t necessarily mean it’s hers. She might have to give it back if she changes employers. This is how it works in the GS boutique.

Rolex only owns one boutique in Switzerland. Every other boutique in the world is independently owned.
