Just double checked, I think they only carry Rolex in pre owned. I stand corrected.

50k is a 'speck', only on trf

LOL

I appreciate that but I've lost all hope for the watches I was supposedly in line for...But thank you!

[CoveWatch]

very nice, congrats on the double incoming

[macplee]

random but i thought SD43 traded around 15k grey which is still pretty high over msrp

[Drexel07]

This is true. One of the ADs I work with says, "there are four watches everyone wants, the rest are easy to get if you're patient."

Both stores are in well-heeled CT towns and have many clients that spend 6-7 figures a year with them. Basically, I’m a speck. Maybe I’ve spent $50k with them over the past four to five years. Further, I had never spent a cent at the sister store. My expectations were pretty low.

The EXP2 came in 7 weeks afterwards and I just got the call that the SD43 is in…12 weeks afterwards.

I recognize these are not the hottest models, but this should give hope to those on lists. Keep the faith.

I agree with you- overall spend is just one factor in the “relationship”. The SAs and managers at ADs are human beings , so other things do matter. Appreciate your post!
