Spending History, Just what does that mean?

Until we go back to the 2015 situation. All of a sudden it counts again.

Yes, the more one spends the “luckier” one gets. It’s alike all of a sudden they just happen to have the gmt, Daytona, whatever in the back. It’s laughable and transparent. I have been in the shop picking up my Daytona and my brother his gmt and they are giving the business to the poor sap at the end of the counter about demand and poor supply. Please, how do you think the gray gets all the SS models? Money talks sadly and the so called relationship one sided I’m afraid.

Yes it does

[travisb]

I would hope so.

What about CHNR?

If she didn't wear it. What do you do with it?

Instead of spending all that money on useless stuff why not just buy one at the grey market price?

Absolutely not. You must buy 8……

[Easy E]

My AD told me point blank Rolexes are now for people that buy other stuff. I have previously bought 7 Rolexes and 3 Tudors from them and that currently means precisely zilch. Needless to say I’m not super happy with the current state of affairs with this “relationship.”

[CarlOver]

I don’t know about others but if you can’t just buy what you want at the store, I wouldn’t play their games. Find another dealer that is willing to sell you only what you want.

I believe they don't consider it a "spending history" until you've purchased a Richard Millie, and 8 VC.

No watch for you!
