Incoming for the weekend!
I just cant afford to go out now to celebrate my 1st Rolex!

After looking for 2 solid months and getting a little frustrated with UK ADs I sent out a few more emails to ADs in Scotland.

One of them called me this morning and I was with him in less than 2 hrs! The salesman must have thought it was a joke as I'd had no previous communication with him!

He was very helpful and I'm happy he has had my hard earned cash as some of the ADs in the UK were useless and so unhelpful.


Happy now though! :)

yes, it certainly has been an eye opener.

I'm currently writing to Rolex as we speak to tell them about my journey and the fact UK ADs are risking losing potential customers. I so nearly gave up. I'm glad I didn't but I reckon I would have in a few months time.

phew.
