My AD is a tease..

I went to my AD today and ordered a 41 TT RG , chocolate dial with smooth bezel and oyster bracelet. While there , he says "I want to show you something". He puts a box in front of me and pulls out a brand new Hulk. I ordered one two weeks ago and thought I was going to be bringing it home with me...not!!!! It was for the buyer in front of me. He just wanted to psyche me out. I tried hard to talk him into letting me have it but it was a no go, lol.......At least I know I'm next in line, hopefully will be bringing both new watches home soon.

Ha, that fleeting second of hope quickly dashed must have been agony! At least you know you’re next in line and got to see the watch in the flesh again.

Isn't this a lot more fun than simply plucking them out of the case straight away...

I would’ve asked to see it, scratch it a little and then taken it home.

First post of yours I may have ever disagreed with.

Then again, patience has never been my strong point.



Working on it.

That is quite the tease. But sounds like it’s not too long of a wait!

These use to sit in the case around my neck of the woods. Sad day when they are used as bait.

Man. This is all so insane...but brilliant at the same time.

Rolex artificially creating an air of exclusivity on a green St Paddy's day watch it could make by the caseloads.

Hat's off to them. I imagine they are making up for lower sales volumes in some way...You'd think prices would have to rise significantly at some point soon.
