Just got the call...
AD called.
He let me know that the Sub Date I've been waiting for has come in. If I wanted to let him know which Roberto Coin gold jewelry I would be purchasing for my wife, he would "allow" me to purchase the sub... I get the game but the delivery and how abrasive he was is just a compete turn off and wrecks the fun. Classy. |

So filthy and completely took all the fun out of it. In my opinion, the AD's encourage flipping with actions like this. Think about it. Especially if your wife doesn't need or want anything new.

Hope you also left him with a few well-placed and well-deserved four letter descriptors.

Good move! These AD’s are losing steam. There are fewer and fewer people everyday who are so eager to get an Instagram trophy that they are willing to buy other junk or pay a premium. It’s a Sub....they have been making them for several decades, and hundreds of thousands of them exist. Just be patient, the whole thing is correcting and returning to normal.

Unprofessional on the AD's part.
Who made this proposition? Was it a sales associate or the owner? |

That is pretty bad taste but someone will go for it.
I suppose if you were going to go grey at least you are getting something extra for your money rather than just paying a premium. |

Trying to extort you for more money after making you wait on a list?
Was there any mention of this prior to you being put on the list? Regardless, I would've been shocked at the audacity.

I was absolutely shocked, there was no mention of that when I ordered the watch. this isn't my first rodeo. I passed out of straight principal.
