Correct me if I wrong but, wouldn’t it be negligent and/or illegal for a retailer to provide alcoholic beverages to consumers? The ramifications of this include unlicensed activities (liquor license) and, worse, most ADs are in high transit zones, malls and the such. One could venture that, should this consumer be pulled over or, worse, involved in an accident, that the provider of the alcohol be negligent. Not trying to be outrageous but, if I were offered alcohol by an AD, I would question greatly their professionalism, morals and rationale.

I would imagine this relates to the sale of alcohol.

Any stories?




So, I was offer a bottled water. But, I did get my choice of a green, white, or navy Rolex cap. It’s actually pretty cool. It has the jewelers name on the back.I picked green by the way.

Congratulations in advance on the Submariner. Drinks or anything else your AD might serve up won’t matter once they size it up and you slip it on your wrist.

This is so ridiculous. All it is is ROLEX stripping inventory therefore limiting inventory to almost zero. What a joke. Supply and demand. The only problem I see is if Rolex starts distributing more SS watches in 5 or 10 years. Then the market will drop along with the secondary market.
