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.

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?

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.

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..

WTF. Hard pass. I’m convinced that I’m just going to have to get lucky on a happenstance stroll to the AD.
