Christmas Eve and finally got the call!!!!

[TheHulk]

So after asking for e SS SkyD in blue dial or green for over a year ago, an ADs number popped on caller ID. I quickly answer and she says, well today is your lucky day. As I’m starting to foam from the mouth, i ask is it the blue or green dial? She then replies neither…. I got you a white gold on Oyster flex. NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! I politely declined……

Darn, so close! I would also decline this one. Good call.

Nice try. They haven’t realized the game has changed?

Yep.

What would have been her next move if you hadn't asked? Getting you out on Christmas Eve, she lifts the cloth covering the watch, and says, "Surprise, you're here now, might as well buy the watch you didn’t ask for."

[Blanch]

She got you nothing and she knows it!
They were hoping you were desperate, cause ADs and grey dealers have a hard time moving regular stainless steel Skydwellers for $16k, let alone white gold Skydwellers on oyster foex for $43k.
You should have told her the call was an insult.

I completely disagree with you on ADs having a hard time moving SS SkyDs. Those fly out.

Genuinely, ADs don’t struggle to shift steel sky-dwellers.

Seems harsh.
Tell her she was insulting would surely get him off the list for anything ever at that store. No need to get pissy

Harsh ? Well...how can you call a day lucky which basically consists in
a) offering a dial colour which is quite the opposite of what you’ve been asking for and
b) for a HUGE amount over the SD ss list price
That’s utterly ridiculous.

Up the Irons! (that one’s for you Wrathchild)

Why is it an insult? She has a watch available to sell. Someone else probably requested it and then backed out. She then did her job and tried to sell it to someone else. She called people that previously expressed an interest in a SkyDweller.

There is nothing to get upset about. If he didn’t want the watch, that’s fine. All you have to do in that situation is politely decline and reiterate what you really want.

It’s no big deal. Honestly, some of you act as if she committed some sort of heinous crime. But she’s just doing her job.

Exactly. Though I can also understand not being tickled with the sales tactics. I have a local AD I know well and every time I visit I have to brace myself for their saccharine sweet, over the top sales scripts. Also have to put up with their purposeless, random texts throughout the year asking me “what’s up?” The first few times it happened, I thought an allocation piece was coming in. Now I know they’re just spamming by text. My guess is they have to fill a certain quota of initiated contact with certain types of spenders. I always stay polite, but inwardly I’m rolling my eyes.

ADs are having a hard time moving SS SkyDs?

That's not the case around the NYC area. If it is the case elsewhere, I would imagine that it's only the black and white dialed variants that are sitting in display case for sale.

[jb335]

Ugh, what a disappointment. I feel for you.

I have nothing against a SKyD on OF but you didn’t ask for it. Those SkyDs on OF must be moving slow. I have had multiple ADs offer them to me unsolicited on my part.

ADs will maintain the perception that you are privileged to be allowed to buy for as long as possible. Imagine the change if they put it in the store window to wait for a buyer.

[SLWoodster]

There’s a few diff perspectives you can take on this…

A white gold skydweller, by most AD accounts, is rarer than any GMT and stainless Daytona except maybe meteorite GMT.

No need to imagine the change. It was early 2020 and all the years before when you can see sky dwellers regularly on display.

[Mr. K]

Did she really say "today's your lucky day?"

Totally different watch. Stay patient and stay polite. Hope you get yours soon.

Your title, while somewhat true, is certainly misleading and to call it a troll post is understandable.

The issue is you said “finally got the call” rather than simply “got a call”. Big difference! Finally got the call means you got the call you had been waiting for, which certainly was not the case. So the lighthearted comment of the other member was appropriate and your response comes off, from my perspective, as ill mannered.

He only meant trolling, in the sense that it was a clickbait title….we expected an incoming story.

Sorry for offending you.

Wasn’t my intention. I expected an incoming post when I read the Title of the thread, and it turned out to be something else.
