As We See Empty Display Cases and Hear of Delayed Deliveries....

[tng11]

I am very much enjoying what I have now. Paying MSRP for 3 in my current collection is already a little rich for my blood. In principle I refuse to pay a premium for a watch (but I almost caved with the D500), and my wants right now are all going for premiums, so I'm perfectly content with waiting.

I contacted my grey seller shop today and again, they apologized for the delay and said they were trying hard to source the watch from an AD. This is in the UK. THREE months for a SubC.

Four days left before I cancel it and totally give up. After my experience with the ADs and now this GS, I'm done with the brand. This probably sounds weird to most users here, but the $ that was already allocated for the Rolex is going to end up with a totally different use. Speculative investments that might crash to zero or return enough to buy multiple watches in a couple of years.

Very disappointing/unpleasant experience in general while tryign to get the first Rolex. Waiting years to buy something and then it is if as you have to beg shops to sell it to you.

Screw you, SubC. I'm tired of you and your games.

I was trying to avoid people in your situation from my original post. If you are waiting for your first, then having to stand in line and beg someone to take your money is pretty disappointing. But if you already have several, maybe take a step back and appreciate what you already have.

IMO, choosing between a risky financial investment and buying a watch is not a set of alternatives I would contemplate. They are completely different decisions. I can see choosing between getting a nice watch and upgrading a car, or buying nice furniture or whatever. Just not choosing between investing and buying luxury goods.

Hope you get what you want.
