How does your AD sell it's hard to get Rolexes?

For example from what I hear, the sales people at Mayors will never see a Daytona or Milgauss GV. The store director cuts them off and gets to make the decision and choose customers that are on their list.

On the other hand a few Ross-Simons that I know of, rotate between the sales staff and they get to pick which of their preferred customers they want to sell it to.

Good customers either compete via raffle or take turns.

I don't know, all I know is that they say, "let me know if you ever want..."

I have never wanted a hard-to-buy Rolex, so it's a non-issue for me.

Hides them in the safe and waits until he gets a good enough offer then says..."I can get you one!" in a matter of minutes in fact! Regularly keeps 3+ SS Daytonas has a few Milgauss GV. Money talks...

They seem to get saved for their 'preferred' customers (not me !).

My AD has several stores in the area, so usually they are spoken for.
