The AD called...
An AD that I have a relationship with called and they have a new CHNR with my name on it... I'm super tempted to grab it.
I'm really waiting for a stainless Daytona, but it's hard for me to pass this one up. I'm going to sleep on it

Honestly, buying this might get you higher on the Daytona list or keep you from being bumped down. I won’t get into an argument about fairness... but we all (hopefully) understand how money and how the world works by this point. - Sent via iPhone. Please excuse any typos or brevity in my message

Waaaay nicer than the Daytona in my opinion. You can always ask your AD if this will get you closer. My AD told me that their new policy is, one SS Sport model per year per customer to ensure that everyone gets a shot at one. It's Ben Bridge, but I think it's a local policy, not corporate. Then again, this could all be malarkey...

Did you originally ask for the root beer? If so then it would be pretty rude to refuse it right?

That's super weird - happened to me today too. Where in Iowa are you - did you get the phone call from Joseph's in Des Moines?

Rolex is killing it! Yet another person contemplating buying a watch they didn't even really want.

I went in and inquired back at the end of April about this particular watch and was told it would be a 2-3 year wait...well, got the email today that my watch is in. Quite crazy! For reference, I have no prior sales history with the company. Just inquired, got put on a list, have been in a few times since to check out some pieces, and got the call today! |

Only buy it if you want it. Otherwise like they said in Star Wars, the Empire Strikes Back.....”Stay on target. Stay on target”

Actually, buying this will put you slightly down on the list for daytona. Several of the AD confirmed that management would only allow for so many desirable watch to be sold to a single person per year. This goes for exclusive customers as well. Again every ad plays the game differently so I'm not going to speak on your behalf. If you are due for a daytona, I saw, just want it out.

Only buy what you truly want, all other purchases are a distraction.

Problem is the person who slept on it last night will be in today to buy the watch. Buy it now or it will be gone.
