So an AD does right by it's local long term clients and people cry as they can't get what they want when they want it.

Oh and to the above poster my last Rolex purchases from my AD were: Black 116500, White 116500, SD43, and next one SS BLRO which I will get his first. No recent precious metal purchases just a solid long term 15 year plus relationship. I buy from him and he takes care of me not sure what people expect but that is how business works. It's not a messed up business model it is a well executed business model which has worked well and will continue like any other well run strategy!

Just a question for you.

If you're only purchasing the hard to get models - you mention that you've most recently purchased two SS Daytonas, SD43 and a Pespi is next -why does the AD sell them to you? Afterall, those watches you list are so easy to sell for any AD. So in what way are you a valuable customer? Are you also buying several PM pieces but not mentioning it? I'm just wondering what's in it for the AD?
