Incoming Daytona

Walked in the AD today for no specific reason and was trying on some Tudor Black Bays and then moved to the Rolex case. They asked if there was something specific I was looking for, which I wasn't. I just said off the cuff that just like everyone else anything in steel would be nice.

She walked to the back and returned with a Daytona that she says came in earlier that day and that it was mine if I wanted it. Easy answer.

I bought some minor things from them about a year ago, but no real relationship. They don't know me when I walk in the door.

I guess they just would rather sell it than have to make phone calls. I guess it is just my lucky day.

It is true, I'm not sure the incentive to make this up.

I worry about stating the AD because some people seem upset about the behavior. I don't want to bring anything negative to them when they just did me an unbelievable courtesy.

I don't want to name the AD because some people seem to think it this wasn't good behavior and I don't want to bring them trouble when they just did me a big courtesy.

Wow, if I was a loyal customer of that store and found out, I would be over there yelling at them. There is no way that watch doesn't have a wait list. Glad to see that this dealer is a D-bag.

I see your point.

But it’s also nice to see a dealer that is just a dealer, not best friends with all of the big fish and only catering only to people with deep pockets

The watch has a price, if the OP can afford it, he can buy it end of story

The way it should be

Perhaps they’re losing their AD status and just selling stock. I guess that has happened in quieter times

You are putting too much emphasis on the wait-list.

Why didn't you visit the store this morning and ask?

Where is there a binding contract to fulfill a wait list? Surely you realize that you've already been skipped over more than once.

You can either wait, pay a premium, get serious about hunting for one, or just be damn lucky - but how again is the dealer a D-bag?

You come off as an ass, I'd skip over you too.

OP Congrats!
