Is this ‘the call’?

[alexppsc]

Hi guys, for everyone saying this is a waste of time - I live 10 mins away from my AD, so believe it or not it was not a waste. Anyway, I have been on the list for 3 weeks so being offered at least a black dial for that amount of time seems a pretty good deal for me, although I didn’t end up buying it - know several people who waited 6+ months for that.

Seems odd that there's apparently no-one waiting for a black dial at your AD, does it not? How many people do you know who waited for one?

What a strange story. Very, very strange. Can you name this AD?

All of the THIS

OP was offered a watch which, while it wasn't the watch he specifically wanted, being offered a watch to buy there and then puts him in a much higher bracket of first-time customers. At this stage he's lucky WoS even took his details down lol

To everyone else moaning, the guy enjoyed himself, let him have that at least

Does this mean ‘I got the call?’ I thought calls are usually received on the day clearly saying that ‘we got your model and it is ready for pick up’. Have no experience with this hence why I’m asking.

(I have to mention that he also suggested we book in a follow up meeting-via email but, this time he called straight away so I hope this is good news?)

OP 36mm Silver Dial, London. Thanks!

Your AD called you.

He could have discussed the upcoming delivery with you over the phone and asked if any of the models he was receiving was of interest to you.

Think about how much time it would have saved all of us of TRF?

Amen. I guess the SA wanted to control a human?

Watches of Switzerland is the worst. Don't expect they will be selling Rolex much longer.

They do not know whats coming in til they receive delivery so this is a pop in and show your face job

Can't imagine getting the call and missing it, but I don't feel like I'm ever going to get a call. I have always thought they'd probably call me while I was 3,000 miles away and on vacation somewhere with my family with no good option to fly back and forth to get it! The watches they'd offer me (because I'm just a peasant) wouldn't be worth it.
