Rolex Knee Pads?

Knowing Rolex has many trinkets that can go with a sale. Also my lifestyle is very active and I get roughed up from time to time.So how does one approach their AD about a set of genuine rolex knee pads without damaging the relationship.

A colleague of mine received a set after he purchased 4 Tudors, 1 Breitling, a Cellini moon phase, some diamonds, a Tissot, and had a closed door conversation with his SA.

Thanks in advance

I currently am on the waiting list for
- Rainbow Daytona
- Panda Daytona
- Black SS Daytona
- Two tone Daytona White Dial
- Mother of Pearl Daytona
- Eye of the tiger Daytona
- Oyster Flex Daytona YG
- Meteorite Daytona
- OP41 Tiffany (For the wife)
- Pepsi GMT II Oyster

Buying that Tissot had to hurt man. My sympathies.

As for the list, wasn't there a guy on here with tatted up arms that had most of those?

Awesome, that's who I was hoping would chime in due to their extensive knowledge.

Oh yeah, my colleague used to have a huge youtube channel and everything; but kind of hard to get ahold of now a days. Yeah he said it's not exactly about the money, it's all about the relationship he's built. Getting knee pads is akin to a baton to access the rolex orderbook.

I use my Rolex issued knee pads out back behind my AD’s dumpster. Just picked up my Daytona after a few months of using them!

Rolex Knee Pads?

2 of them are discontinued so you're unlikely to get the call.

Perhaps the others are achievable maybe even with a courtesy shoulder tap.

It's okay I would be very happy with even 5 of these watches. Just need to get noticed and nothing seems to get more to the girt than a set of genuine rolex kneepads and some hard work.

With an A.D, you need the knee pads to get noticed.

I thought so too until I saw two tone white dial Daytona on his list. Why would anyone joke about that ?

A novel way to show supplication is to duct tape Rolex catalogues to your knees when visiting the dealer.

Don't worry if your catalogues get scruffed up. There's a stack below the empty watch case.

I'm going to see if my SA is in today. That is a fantastic idea and a creative use of what's available during this shortage.

I understand that most AD's have the new GMT left-handed knee pads that include pre-printed thank-you's for the SA.
