My SA passed away

[fareplay]

Not sure what next steps are. I went back in to the store they took my info/ interest again but no timeline no new SA. I am a repeat customer but now I feel lost.

This.

[swexlin]

Damn, that's hard core.

SA died, who's gonna get me my watch now? Good God, is there no compassion anymore?

I'm sorry but maybe you didn't realize we're talking about a Rolex here.

It's ok. You're forgiven.

No kidding… geez. To even think what do I do next about my next purchase is…ridiculous.

My thoughts exactly

This completely. Post comes across very cold considering someone has passed away, sadly.

At least the OP should have seen whether the deceased SA left applications in his will before he passed. Quite possible that a copy of current waitlist placements will be revealed during the probate process, so with just sitting tight.

I hope you showed more remorse to the AD than you've expressed here. Someone dies and your concern is not getting a watch as soon as you hoped? Maybe some priorities need to be rethought...

[omar-rye]

I'm sorry to hear that you're going through this. It might be helpful to reach out to their trustee and pursue any available assets from their estate

[hutch300]

Someone passing away is what matters. People have lives and impact far greater than silly watches. Your thread intentional or not is intensive.

Give the guy a break, he was asking for help. He never said he didn't feel bad.

This happened to me as well. Unfortunately, if you are like me, you'll have to start building a new relationship. Talk to the mgr to see if they can find an associate that is knowledgeable in the items you have been buying in the past as well as what you plan on buying in the future.

RIP

We do tend to become overly focused on watches. 'My' SA no longer works at the local AD. Did she pass away? Fired? Unemployed? No idea.

We're going through a Tulip craze

Much more important:
- Health
- Friends
- Family
- Job
- Retirement
- Savings
- A place to live
- Food to eat
- Air to breathe

tough crowd here, i don't think the op created this thread to get condolences for someone none of us know, and he never said he doesn't feel bad. probably opened it to see if anyone has gone through a similar situation

unfortunately the world keeps spinning

Agreed.

To all those passing judgement: how long is the official mourning period?

We need to know the duration of wearing sackcloth and ashes, and foregoing watch purchases, before we can ask what to do in this situation.

RIP to your SA.

I had the same thing happen to my SA over this past Christmas holiday. My heart just felt so sad for his family since he was such a good man. For not buying a watch from that AD for over 20 yrs, he help me get the BLNR and Panda Daytona within a short time period. He was always friendly and pleasant to talk to whenever I visited the store so it was such a big lost to hear he have passed away.

I usually visited my AD often so during that time I have got to know other SA as well. So, hopefully you have done the same so that other SA already know who you are that they can just pick you up as a new client of theirs. Good luck to you.

He was a very good guy. RIP.

Please keep your watch hobby in check and perspective here OP.

In the time I’ve known my SA (maybe 6 years) I’ve made calls intended to be a watch “check in” but where more important things have come up first. Things like mental/physical health.

On such occasions, I’ve openly said, stuff watch talk, what are you doing to help with your issues and then spent time being a human (listening).

Life is about human relationships not material things.

[bp1000]

wow, someone lost their life and you lost a few months on a watch.

Come on, I cant believe this is a genuine post, even if its not, its a v.bad joke.

[brandrea]

I’m confused, who took your info/interest? Someone in sales?

RIP to your previous sales person.
