I've turned down a few watches over the years, and it's not hurt my ability to get hold of other pieces at all. But then I've been known to the same AD for many years now.
Quote:
My AD who, as I've said above, I've known personally for a couple of decades now, is totally honest in telling me that they do service their major spenders first. Why would they not do that? I'm not in the "major spend" league, but I have a relationship with them stretching back many years, so they always eventually get me what I want. I have absolutely no doubt that wouldn't happen as a random walk-in off the street. The acid test will be the 126500 I've asked for!

Long time lurker... been down this road with an AD. Bit of a long story, tried to mess me around called them out. Told me years for a Sea Dweller, then tried to sell me diamond earrings. Wrote a letter to Rolex, suddenly they want to sell me a watch (after I already went gray because figured it was the only way... bought a 116613LB bluesy) told them sure but now I want something special. Missed the boat on selling me ANYTHING that I would have happily taken.
Told them Pepsi. And said specifically I do not want a BLNR as I just don't love it for some reason. Few months later they call.... which one do you think? BLNR. I turned it down. I'm sure they'll never call again. |

I turned down a WG Sub last week which I didn't ask for. It depends on the AD and your relationship with them. I definitely won't decline a watch on my list.

Not always. Got a text for a black dial Explorer ii and declined because I’m waiting for the white dial.

I have declined 4 watches from my AD over the past two years, all while waiting for a BLNR. I finally got the call for my BLNR in October, so in my case it didn't hurt my chances.
