SA rolls her eyes

[4dough]

I've made 5 purchases in the last 7 months with my AD. 2 being and FXD and a DJ41.. The SA rolled her eyes when I requested a Submariner...It's over..

[Bazil]

Ask for a Daytona and see her response, that’ll be more entertaining ..

[Scottyboy]

5 in 7 months! Even she is thinking you need to slow down...

[Offshore]

Agreed - that's a lot of watches in 7 months!

OP..did you buy the 5 watches because you wanted them or because you wanted the Submariner?

I asked my AD to let me have a YG Daytona Lemans if they get one....he said those types of off-catalog pieces are reserved for the likes of DRAKE. The conversation abruptly stopped.

I'm sure that Mr. Drake's got nothing on you!

What do you expect? Rolex makes 100 or so if those. I have a great relationship with my AD and I wouldn’t ask for that watch even though I love it. Your AD is being honest with you. Would you prefer they lie to you?

Nope, I was saying this as it was supposed to be funny hahaha. I detest liars. BTW....I would never be intimated to ask for anything in life that is material, regardless of relationship status or purchasing history. No sense in tippy-toeing around watch/jewelry salespeople. That's also funny in a sad way.

I can feel a similarity where I approach my AD in a manner which I am the buyer and I "request" the pieces that I want, on top of my other purchases. I have had a number of Rolex & PP steel sports purchased retail from my AD, and I would never position myself to "beg" for a piece. It completely takes out everything that is meant to be from a luxury purchase. The world we live in these days

Who’s begging? You express your interest in buying a watch. If it’s available you buy it. If it’s not you don’t and move on with your life.

I have seen the term “beg” “humiliated” and “self-respect” in recent threads all about simply asking after popular watches.

Are people’s egos really that fragile? Have people really not experienced not being able to get something they want?

I would have started spitting rhyme right then and there.

Now that is funny!

5 watches in 7 months? Holy moly. Do it again at a new authorized dealer. If they also don't appreciate it, then try yet again with another 5 watches. Eventually it'll work.

I haven’t misunderstood anything, just thought his post was funny. My advice is to find another AD. You should have every right to ask for a Sub, after your current spend. If she rolled her eyes, she probably doesn’t like you. If that’s the case, she won’t get you a Sub. A Sub is not that big of an ask. Go elsewhere, or just buy one from one of our trusted sellers. Good luck!

The trusted sellers on here never roll their eyes…

I don't understand this thread.

How many watches do you need?

Asking for a friend.

[dennispennis]

Is the friend Kevin?

[vinny84]

Sounds like an SA who doesn't appreciate your business. I would start going somewhere else

[Turpentine]

OP made 5 purchases at the AD, only two were watches.

He named 2 models but was silent on the other 3 purchases.

If the 3 were watches of lesser value, then non-starter.

If the 3 were higher margin jewelry of 5 digit value each, a bigger incentive.

An eye roll from an SA means the 4th wall has been broken - reality-time - you are no longer in the fantasy of the SA trying hard for you.

Now it's time to cozy up to the sales mgr. or general mgr. or owner.

Hahaha, good one!

Roll your eyes, sigh or do anything else, as long as I get the watch I want.

[AK797]

Eye rolling is rude and very passive aggressive, I've dealt with sales staff who put me off buying a £10 item so for a Rolex they can fck right off.

[DC116710LN]

A rude response - I'd find another SA

[Dave O]

For every Rolex watch an AD gets in there are likely hundreds (more for highly desirable pieces) wanting the chance to purchase it. They can't just keep selling all of the watches to one individual, they have to spread the joy around. My AD was honest and open when they told me this, which I appreciated. I now understand this, and don't get my hopes up that I'll get more than one or two a year.

PS - this, however, doesn't explain the eye roll. Your SA could have instead just explained this to you.
