Recent offers from ADs that were passed on
Hello all:
Thought it might be interesting to see what ADs are offering that aren't on your "list." I'm assuming it wouldn't be passed on if it's on your list. It may also show what's not "hot" anymore. I'll start. Since last Friday I passed on the following: yellow gold skydweller on OF, full yellow gold skydweller on jubilee, 42 YM white gold OF, and a platinum 40mm DD non baguette dial. |

Not a Rolex, but passed on a Lange 1 that I loved. If it wasn't for a daughters wedding and two other kids in college, I would've pulled the trigger.

Got 2 calls before I got my sub..was offered rootbeer gmt and then white gold sub.
I held my ground and declined poliltely and told my rep I'll stick to my plain jane sub date. 3 weeks later, she texted me and I picked up my sub date. This was end of last year. |

I was recently offered a diamond encrusted 40mm day date in everose gold. It was just under $80K. Not at all in my style.

Recently turned down a RG green anniversary dial DD, on my wedding anniversary oddly enough. But as much as I love that watch it was not at the top of my list and I had other more pressing demands on my cash.
Over the last 12 months I have politely declined the following: WG Sub, WG YM, GP Laureatto Absolute 8Tech, YG DD white dial, WG SD on OF.

I do like the WG Yacht Master 42 on Oysterflex, but it's selling for about $6k below retail. If ADs start offering discounts on PM pieces, I might be tempted.

the last time I was at my AD, they offered me a bottled water.
And guess what? A'yep, you guessed correctly: I politely declined. Wasn't thirsty, so no need for the water. I figured, aw hell, I'll let the next guy have it. |

Not much for me. About nine months ago I was offered a two-tone Daytona with white dial. I passed.

Why? He said he didn’t like them.
I only buy what I love and want in my collection. I admire people who stick to what they like, and only buy what they love. This then allows someone who really wants that watch the chance of getting the call. |

Was thinking the same. Some nice pieces there! I was offered my TT Wimbledon while visiting, when the customer whose allocation it was turned it down right in front of me. After he left the store, it was offered to me, and I said, “Yes, thanks very much. I’ll take it.” It’s probably my favorite watch. Kat Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

I pass my AD on the other side of the street. It's too easy to walk in.

I passed on a GRNR TT. Beautiful but not anything I was looking for.
Bought BLNR and VTNR shortly after. |

I passed on a 126711chnr aka Rootbeer GMT today. I had put myself on the waitlist and finally got the call 5 years later. I already purchased the 126715chnr full RG so happily rejected the watch.
