God I HATE when they pull that crap! Personally, I'd tell him to pound sand.

Tell him you'll do it if they give you 50% off on the first two!

[CKay]

This is a good deal. It is an act of grace. Go for it!

[TimeToGo]

Let us know what you do..

[Chozn1]

Man. I can't believe how hard they are to get ahold of.

I personally do not have a problem with it. I buy several watches that I am luke warm about just to stay on the top of the list for the ones I really want.

[k123e2001]

I already have a black Daytona,Milgaus GV,DEEPSEA and pretty much all the SS Rolexs. I really dont know what else to collect.

Do they have any Pepsi's or Coke's?

Time to branch out. You should have plenty of mojo with the AD after getting all those watches. If not I would look somewhere else.

[k123e2001]

this AD is very cool, i walk in the first time, never purchase anything from them, and i ask the sale lady if the have deepsea, and they sell me one. The reason why i post this thread, is trying to see if anyone is interest on this deal, i can give more info

[golfball123]

should consider....

I find it particularly unfortunate that arrogant ADs are more the norm than not. I feel that it is THEIR privilege to sell to us rather than the other way around.

I live in the Dallas area and, during my search for a SS Daytona, was ALLOWED to be placed on a few waiting lists in spite of my never having purchased a watch from a given AD. I, too, received the old 'If you buy two other Rolexes, then a Daytona can be yours at retail'...gee, really? THANKS! Fortunately, I never succumbed to this and continued to look. After maybe 2 months, I stumbled on an AD with a black dial M who offered it to me at MSRP with no purchase history with them...they were polite and professional to boot! What a rare treat...

It's just really ridiculous. As we all know, SS Daytonas are becoming more and more common. ADs are getting them and putting them in their vaults to be used as leverage for increased sales. Be patient, or hell, buy one on the grey market (for about the same price at this point) but don't get bullied by ADs...just walk away in these scenarios and remind them that the customer is king.

Funny stuff...this is funnier.

Early last year my parents was at a diamond store, my dad knew i wanted a Daytona badly so he ask the store manager if he know anyone has one.

Less than 24 hrs later, I received the call from the store manager, he has a D series SS blk dial Daytona (unworn), $12,995.00. on $7900.00 mrsp

I cannot believe why Rolex will allow an AD to sell their watches at MSRP with such conditions It is not like buying fruits and vegies from the market - buy 2 and get 1 free.

Did he put it on display or was it hidden?

Sounds fair.

Agreed. Sure beats the "sure I'll put you on my list if I feel like it" deal. I was offered a piggyback SS Daytona when shopping around last year with the condition of a smaller discount on a watch I was pricing.

[walds11]

Sounds fair, although that would piss me off. The guy is not doing anything illegal.

[BmwA5H]

How Difficult ! 2 watches you say ! Which ones haha what a hard desicion !

How does the situation described constitute "bullying" by an AD? Did they threaten to clock the guy as well?

The customer may well be king, but the dealer doesn't have to sell to the king.

[Art 1]

Can't blame him, he'll soon sell three Rolex watches.

[Jimbits76]

The whole Daytona thing is starting to annoy the $h1t outta me.

I would love a white faced Ss Cos but I cannot be bothered with all the waiting list, buy this or that crap!!!!!!

In fairness, right now, in today's economy I don't have the money for one anyway and if I did I would be my fave Rolex...the GMT Pepsi!!!!!!

A man can dream....

Let me get this straight. If you spend $10,000+ with this jeweler, he will give you the privilege of spending another $10,000, or full retail price for what you really want. Anyone that finds that as perfectly reasonable is drinking too much of the Kool-aid. Personally, I would hate to feel that desperate to do business with any company that would pull those kind of shenanigans.

Boy, reading these posts makes me thankful that the Daytona has never done anything for me.

My feeling on the subject!

Nope, it is fresh, pure, one hundred percent, unadulterated, BS just as it comes from the nether regions of a 1600 pound bull.

This is a small movement by the way!
