Such is the relationship model that is discussed ad nauseam here. Too many factors play into interpersonal relationships with AD's. Buy/sell/trade as you see fit and your finances will support. I will not waste time with SA's as most are just clerks. When I deal with an AD it is with the GM or owner. Sometimes it helps, other times not so much. I value my time and dignity and will not be lied to or put off. And I know both when I see it. Thank goodness for our Trusted Sellers.

Don't "need" anything of course - but have been asking for a BLNR for about 5 years.

Maybe talking to the manager is a good idea. I don't normally do this, don't want to be a 'Karen.' But virtually every AD I've dealt with has done the same thing with purging records. I think they're up to their eyeballs with inquiries and are trying to separate the wheat & chaff. Quote:

The concept of purging all records makes no sense. If you mean the SA's individual "list" of what customer wants what, sure. But what business throws away the sales records for multi thousand dollar purchases? Every AD I've ever dealt with has a record of every purchase I've made going back 20 years. They can provide the serial numbers, copies of receipts, etc. I would definitely talk to a manager to see if their operation is truly this ridiculous.

I find it hard that ADs are intentionally purging databases. You never give up customer history. |

The problem is that you cant get a Rolex at MSRP from an AD.
ADs and their employees vary just as with any business. Be patient |

Have you tried walking back with receipt or warranty card that shows the store name?
Regardless, generally I think next year we may finally enjoy some return of old normal for better or worse. |

Note, this has nothing to do with previous purchases, those records of course exist. They need all that for business reasons. It's the mythical "wish lists" that are really inconsistent and appear to be mostly a function of recent high spending. The AD that sparked this thread has been taken care of and I'm now connected with a new SA - FWIW. We share a common bond - we both moved out here from the same town and I know the colleagues at her previous Rolex AD! So, fingers crossed |

No record means no purchase history which is the part I was saying is ridiculous. The "list" thing has always been an informal, per SA construct so it is no surprise that it would go away on their departure. |

That's what I would do. I am in awe of how this is happening just to attempt to buy a Rolex now. How on earth did it end up like this? I am in shock. I thought buying a Hermes Birkin was bad (not that I would know of course). But a watch? Wow

You’ll just have to start buying diamonds. My patek dealer asked me to buy another twenty 4 to get an aquanaut. Get used to it.

I genuinely don’t believe that will happen. You’ll maybe be able to pick up a datejust with a black or white dial. However picking up sports models just sat in windows, won’t happen in my opinion.
Of course we can re-visit this in 6-12m, and if I’m wrong I’ll eat some humble pie. |
