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.

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.

Yes, which I'm over at this point. My wife has so much jewelry at this point and would genuinely pissed if I bought her anything else.

I have a Sub C no date so whatever but, really bad delivery from the AD. IMO

Unprofessional on the AD's part.

Who made this proposition? Was it a sales associate or the owner?

I visited a AD that gave me the usual reply , "SS are very difficult to get, 3-4 years waitlist, but hey lets look at these blah blah.." proceed to sell me other brand watches . But at one point he said "Yeah if you buy a few of these watches, you will definitely get the sub soon" .

I wouldnt be able to say that out loud if im in his shoe..

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.

That’s poor for, on the AD’s part for sure.

If you’re really jonesing for one, I’d go gray. The mark up isn’t all that bad IMO. Good luck
