Lets say for example someone is interested in buying
James Cameron Sea Dweller
SS Skydweller
SS Daytona
Hulk Sub
All in one single purchase. Would any AD be able to accommodate this type of purchase? Or would they say something like "you must buy a platinum daytona and a YG DD40 first.."

I guess the best source for your answer would be an AD themselves.

I don't know of any. There's a couple on there that have waiting lists a mile long.

tyler1980 · 8 January 2018, 03:56 AM

I doubt that would do anything to move you up the list as those sell by themselves anyway and that won't incentivize the AD to prioritize you. If you were willing to buy a DD and a Pt Daytona also they would probably make some of the other watches appear.

You would think! Too bad it doesn't work that way.

Yes, you have to block buy the models they can't sell easily, so this is the exact opposite of what they are looking for, instant heavy profits for the flipper and better net margin than the ADs themselves are making.

If I let you buy them all, I’ve made you happy, and you probably aren’t coming back. If I spread it around, I’ve made four people happy and have a greater likelihood of repeat business. So...NO!!!

You forgot the Batman...you'll need one of them to hang with the cool kids too.

When you get your answer from the AD, please let the form know!

dcash0615 · 8 January 2018, 04:17 AM

You first have to find an AD that has all of these watches at the same time and then ask.

RazorD · 8 January 2018, 04:28 AM

My guess would be no. Those watches are probably all on a waitlist at most ADs. There's probably no incentive for them to sell them to you over the others if you're not spending it elsewhere in the store. Best of luck though! Always worth a shot.

Muzz · 8 January 2018, 05:00 AM

I can promise you if you are a VIP and they have them then yes it can be done.

paltak · 8 January 2018, 05:12 AM

Not sure if buying 4 highly in demand and not readily available watches would be considered a bulk purchase. Good luck.

Vivalas · 8 January 2018, 05:16 AM

Do you have an very well established relationship with an AD? If not I would say you have zero chance as there’s nothing in it for the AD. They could sell those watches 10 times over. Maybe 50 times for some of them.

I also doubt that any AD would be sitting on all those at the same time.

drmizzou · 8 January 2018, 05:18 AM

As stated in another post, you would have to buy several PM less desirable pieces for them to be incentivized to get you the hard to find models. It took me showing interest in buying my wife’s PM DJ last month for my AD to suddenly be willing to offer me a SS skydweller when earlier when I asked none were in stock.

All but the Daytona can be done
