Found a way to buy SS Daytona at retail
1. Apply for a jeweller job at your local AD
2. Work for 1 year 3. A Daytona arrives 4. You let your family member buy it under their name 5. You quit the job |

1. Most people would have better paying job
2. See #1 3. The daytona you see are all for the owners friend's and managers friend's if not to top 1% royal customer's 4. See #3 5. See #3 |

Exactly. A few years ago an AD rep told me that he can only get one gmt every 5 years at staff discount. Lucky for him the gmt he had on has been discontinued and is worth much more than he paid for it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I've thought about this strategy but wonder if there is anything preventing the store owner from getting first dibs on any Rolex at cost.

However, I think Rolex does monitor in some shape or form if the AD is simply just hoarding the watches. As an AD, you also want to make these pieces available to the public in order to keep clientele and promote the sale of the any non-desirable models. |

Better off taking a higher paying job and just pay the premium in the grey market.

Why go to all that effort for a watch for WAGs?

My SA has a blue sky-dweller. The rolex rep gave him an opportunity to purchase any watch at cost if they won a sales competition. He sold the most watches last year.

Talking to dbag SAs at my 3 ADs over a period of a month drove me into the arms of the reseller. I can always make more money but time and dignity are priceless.

1. Work for there one year are you sure having enough money to buy
2. Priority of the watches seems decide by manager but not staff 3. One year is not enough to wait a Daytona arrive conclusion: Work hard, keep waiting or go gray. |
