AD Visit @ Lunch Today

[kk77]

Happy Friday everyone..


I was at a local mall for lunch and swung by the AD that's inside the mall. It was pretty quiet. There were two customers in the store. One working with a sales associate on some necklaces or what ever he was trying to buy..

Another one ( he might be a member of the forum) just browsing around sipping on some coffee.. I was just walking around looking for the SA that I previously talked to. I live/work very close to the mall and I visit the mall quite frequently for lunches in the afternoon.. these guys are not that great in service. Sometimes they dont even get up to greet the customers.. That's why I usually do all my business at another AD.

the so called SA walks out of the back and says hello and asks who is first.. I politely said the other gentleman was there before me and I kept browsing what was in the showcase.. they have a rose gold yachtmaster oysterflex in the case which looks great BTW..

After the other guy was done talking, I asked the sales associate if it is the newer version and if it had the glidelock clasp...he said yes in a seemingly uncertain way.. he takes the watch out of the case trying to figure out.. but I could see it doesn't. While he was still trying to figure it out, I said no it's the old version and it doesn't have it. Then I asked what movement does it have.. he couldn't answer either. His explanation was the they added a little bit to the new movement which gives the watch an extra 20 hours..? I'm like WOW...

I asked it they offered any discount.. he said adamantly NOT A NICKEL! Rolex doesn't allow us to do so.. I said what does Rolex has to do with it.. you don't pay the same price right...? Then he paused a minute and asked what do you mean..? Then I clarified you don't pay the same price as the rolex suggested MSRP right...? Then he reluctantly said yes we don't pay the same price..

I asked him about SS models and its the same story. They haven't seen any in a long time.

I said thanks for your time and walked out. Just another Friday.

Thank you for reading..
