I was hoping to read that you walked out. Oh well. That sucks on a "luxury purchase," but in the long run, you got the watch you wanted. Try to forget about the experience.

Sorry to hear about your experience, spending that amount and not been treated right is frustrating, wear your watch in good health.

Sorry to hear about bad service at an AD it happens more and more everywhere. No customer should be told to hurry and pay! No matter what is going on or what other customer is coming. As I tell my guys (We are nothing without our clients)
Congrats, on new Rolex a fine gift. Enjoy it and forget the experience, who knows what was really going on. |

Let’s see a pic of it! And I believe this is the reason Rolex eliminates Ad’s. This person had an appointment with someone else but should have taken the time to help you. Sorry for such a dreadful experience.

They probably had a big dollar flipper coming in early and wanted to make sure you weren’t there to see what they really had in the safe.
They don’t have anything to sell and apparently now they forgot how sales work. I’m always a little amused when sales people cop an attitude. One of us can afford anything in the store, one is there selling it. How quickly they forget. If the market swings, and the current state of affairs is not permanent, they’ll regret that mistake. In 2009 the economy was still affected by the mortgage and banking crisis and I went to the BMW dealer to get a new car. I told them I wanted to buy now, very clear. Their lot was overflowing with vehicles. The cars were 3 deep everywhere, on the grass, back lot was just a sea of new cars bumper to bumper and door to door, and more being stored off site, etc. I asked what he could do for me on one they had there on the lot, and he said they don’t discount and “they sell themselves”. When I replied, “obviously” and gestured around at hundreds of landlocked cars he didn’t get the joke. I said call me when you’re ready to make a deal and sell it. They didn’t call, ever. So I drove 1 mile down the road and got a very good deal on a new Mercedes from a sales team happy to make a sale. And, for whatever reason, their lots were not overflowing with hundreds of unsold vehicles either. I guess maybe they don’t sell themselves after all. I’ve been back there twice, and still haven’t heard back from the BMW team.

ADs think they are doing a customer a big favor just by selling them a watch.

First world problems be happy you even got a watch. Ive been to 3 different AD's with no sales history and I get no respect. Money talks BS walks. All that matters is you are now a customer with sales history.

Some people are nice. And some people are not.
To me this would be a non issue.

Did you have an appointment? I suspect the sales person didn’t want to prioritise you over being late for the next client.
Not ideal. And far from the anticipated experience Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Congrats on the new watch notwithstanding the subpar AD experience. What we can all guarantee you is that the watch is and will be awesome. Wear it in good health!

Very poor service from a Rolex AD.
I would send an email to the md.
