Anniversary trip and new DJ41

Wife and I returning from our 10 year anniversary trip to Maui. Due to Rolex’s policy of F2F sales only and Maui being an island I’d heard of people having better luck in obtaining a watch. Prior to the trip I reached out to a couple local AD’s mentioning the fact I was coming their way and why and would appreciate they kept me in mind if a watch became available. No expectations on my part but much to my surprise I received a text offering me this beauty. Received blessing from la jefa (wife) and consummated the deal. This piece was in my Top 5 so worked out well on my part.

FWIW: asked what other watches they received and she mentioned 3 in total, mine and two special order ladies DJ’s. Ironically was offered piece from other dealer to a ladies MOP DJ. They only received one new piece in their shipment.

Super nice. Enjoy! My wife also got lucky yesterday as we scored a mint green DJ 36 smooth bezel for her at the local Boutique. I was shocked. We went in for me. Lol. I got nothing but a very happy watch. Then a LV handbag. Expensive day at the mall.

I’d say so. Hopefully that goodwill last for awhile. Unfortunately I seem to be working from a deficit 😊

Congrats and great story! Suits you well. Which AD was this? This is the first i’ve heard about the in person requirement, albeit I only have one AD relationship in Maui

No Rolex for wifey to commemorate 10 years? Seems a bit one sided bro. Hope she at least got a foot rub 🫠

I’ve dangled that carrot in front of her a number of times but she’s completely content with her Apple watch. Plus she did alright with some new Diamond earrings and anniversary band 👍🏼.

Tourneau and direction was same across both locations. May be lip service for a newer client, let me know if you know differently. I somewhat like the rule as it skinnies up the competition as they’ll only hold for so many days for you to pay for and pick up. Living in DFW it’s a mere 8 hr direct flight. I’d only only utilize for my grail wish list though.

Shockingly even my 16 y/o son likes using words like ‘Drip’, ‘Sick’ and ‘Slay’. All of which I assume are positive. This coming from the dad whose idea of social media is his LinkedIn profile.
