Next time I'm going into a AD and asking them for a hulk and see what they'll bring out. LOL, extremely lucky, congrats mate.

In retrospect, while we were having our 15 minute conversation, I think he was sizing me up. We talk about what I do , other brands that I have. My guess is he's trying to get a feel if I'm a keeper or a flipper. In the end, even without a prior purchase history, AD still have to make a sale.
And yes, I believe most AD have the hot models in stock (there was a thread on this before) Last edited by Vicente; 30 September 2019 at 12:46 AM.. Reason: Wrong entry |

As far as having watches in AD safes there is no doubt. But rest assured that what you experienced is unheard of. 99.9% of the time there is no sizing up no matter what the conversation is. There are plenty of horror stories from ADs telling established customers that they don’t qualify for a watch of their choice unless they spend 100K on non watch purchases. Just overlay that over what you just experienced!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

We have always seen a few of these stories with every hot model. It’s does happen and keeps the dream alive for the 98.7%ers that will never ever see one at a AD let alone be able to buy one. I know a $15 million dollar lottery winner. That doesn’t mean I take all my kids college money and start paying the lottery with it.
