This thread makes me appreciate my local AD sales guy.
Bought my first Rolex in 2006 to reward myself for getting my dream job (same job my dad had that made us move from Norway to USA in 1978) which was a SeaDweller. sitting in the case Got 20% off too back then. LOL
As time went on I visited he always remembered me when I stopped by as they are in a shopping Mall and I bough my second watch around 1 year later (an 26mm OP) for my wifes 50th. He tells me that since I have bought a few watches and I told him my dad had bought one from them 15 years ago. He will put me on the SS Daytona list. I had no idea that there were lists to buy watches. Guess I was still a NUBIE?
Got the call within 6 months, back then they were $7900.
Started making more $$ and thought I'd like another Rolex and the GMT2-C caught my eye. Still was in the case back then 2010 and got another $20% off that watch.
Figured 3 watches was the limit....for a while.
Then the bug caught me!!!!
My AD asked if I wanted to be put on his list for hard to get watches I think what's there to lose?
Walked by the AD while shopping for Christmas gifts in 2012? AD tells me they have a Green Sub, and since I was there I could buy it. As they were going to call me.
Then I get the call 1.5 years later they have a Deep Blue DSSD if I wanted it.
Then they tell me they have a Batman coming in.
In early 2018 He asks me if I liked the Daytona C and puts me on the list, I figure its going to be a while, within 6 months I get the call.
Figured that was it.
Got the call 1 month ago if I wanted to get on the Pepsi list. I said SURE WHY NOT. My AD texts me last week, "hey we have a Pepsi coming In and I think they will pick you!!!"
I asked that was fast? He said the store manager picks who gets the watch and it's not by how much you spend, it's entirely up to her. And she likes me and my wife as we stop by and say Hi whenever we are at the mall.
Picked it up on Sunday.
He tells me they have $300-400K spenders that just buy watches that I jumped in front of on the list. He tells me I am the only one in their store that has received Batman, Pepsi and Daytona-C.
Never considered myself as a very likeble guy???? Must be because of my wife!!!!
So, in conclusion I have nothing but happy experiences with my AD.
Shame how other AD's treat their customers from what I have read here.
