Anyone who only purchased Rolex from AD?

[dextroam11]

I have no intention of buying Rolex from Grey.

I currently have submariner and am still waiting for my Batman. After Batman, I will probably want to go for SS Daytona (I know, could be years but I guess I will enjoy my two watches until then).

No plan on getting solid gold or two-tone models as of yet (things may change later).

Just curious, is there anyone who ONLY purchases Rolex from AD? What watches have you gotten from them so far?

Also, once I develop a great relationship with my AD (with 2 purchase history of sub and GMT - absolutely no intention of selling), will it be reasonable/possible to ask SS Daytona as a 3rd watch?

I have a similar collection that is all from ADs. The Batman and Sub are definitely doable. The Daytona will be very difficult.

It's certainly possible to ask for a daytona, why not? It is unlikely that you will get one from a SS GMT and SS sub purchase history alone though. However, it depends how much your AD likes you.

Sub, BLRO, DJ41, OP41, TT DJ31 purchase history from AD. I don't think I would be able to get a SS daytona in today's market conditions. However, to be fair, I never expressed serious interest for one as I did for the others.

I have 19 Rolexes including YG Daytona green dial, WG GMT meteorite dial, RG Day-Date olive dial and many SS sport models, all of them from my Boutique/AD.

I think I am very lucky with Rolex.

Lmao, you expect them to give you a Daytona because you blessed them by buying watches that they could sell to anyone else in a second?

Might want to rethink your strategy.

I do as I couldn’t afford grey prices. A BLRO and a Z-Blue is what I have. A Daytona would likely take a while as the demand is high but a BLNR should be a reasonable wait.

My sig line. I also have a LV Sub going to be hitting at some point in the next couple months per my SA.

I would honestly skip the Daytona. Its small and illegible. My least favorite in the line up by far.

I only buy from my AD. Purchases in order: Tudor BB58, then a DateJust, then Speedmaster, then GMT blnr

I’ve only gotten “hot” models from my AD and intend to take the same strategy in awaiting my SS Daytona, without buying a bunch of unnecessary jewelry while waiting. My AD has always taken care of me and I have time to kill. It’s not as ridiculous as you might think.

[Lennxi]

Only AD. 2017 Batman, 2018 Hulk, 2021 Pepsi, DJ RG41 Wimbledon. So just need to be patient and let them know you are genuine. Was a bit long wait between my Hulk and pepsi but my patience has been paid off.

[brandrea]

I’ve only bought Rolex from my AD, 12 in total.

[s7horton]

AD only for me.

2003 Sub Date
2005 TT Yatchmaster Blue
2006 Sub Date
2016 OP 34 Blue
2016 Sub Date LV
2019 WG Sub
2020 Sub Date 41

The last three came from the same AD. Should have kept all of them. But I don’t have that kind of disposal income.

[lacroix]

Over the past 25yrs:

6 = AD (2 recent)
2 = Grey (when prices were lower than MSRP)

I sort of refuse paying for anything over MSRP but that’s me and IMHO, nothing is urgent about buying a timepiece.

This.

AD Only.

[Norbert]

AD only for me, the older ones even with a discount!

LAMO never said any of them. I just genuinely asked if it was a reasonable request

[Moondoggy]

Anyone who pays more then MRSP is unwell.

[ltmgeller]

From what I've seen, its more about the $ amount spent than the number of purchases. Once you've hit the $100k mark you should be able to get access to the harder to get pieces.

Do you have pic of TT YM blue?!

[Kanawha]

I only purchase from AD/Boutiques. 2013 116523, 2014 214270, 2015 116520. I was at the mall with my dad and went to the AD and I was talking to them about how after I bought my dad the 116523 I wanted another Daytona SS white dial. A few minutes later the gentleman brought it out for me along with a Platona. Amazing experience. I also had no prior relationship with this AD. It never hurts to ask. You might just get lucky and they may have one sitting in the back. I'm also looking for a 116500LN but definitely not paying over MSRP and have the patience to wait it out until one becomes available. I'm not in a rush for anything.

[dnd2984]

Only AD, and blessed to say I got all my SS from them. Total of 9 of them, and total of 14 Rolexes. I will tell you now your strategy is not going to work. Don't expect the AD to give you a watch that has market value of 2 to 3 times retail because you bought other hype pieces. You need to buy Jeweler, non Rolex, and more if you want all 3 from AD. I bought my wifes ring from same AD 14 years ago, and get most of my wifes jewelry from them.

AD will take care of you if you take care of them, its a business relationship. If I JUST wanted a Sub, GMT, and SS Daytona. I would be better off going grey even in todays prices.

Thanks for your feedback. Makes 100% sense

[Cigars&Watches]

Both of mine from AD. As far as your request for a Daytona. Really depends on your AD and relationship I suppose. In Canada that would be unheard of. Getting the sub and Batman here is unheard of. No harm in asking tho.

Trust me I don't want to discourage you, but at the office I get countless employees tell me they want a Pepsi or Daytona. I explain to them how it works, and my AD appreciates its too. It saves the AD time because a lot of folks are getting mean with them. I will tell you, I got the Batman, and Sub fairly easy and early in my journey. When I usually visit my AD I do see someone in the store getting a Sub or GMT quite often.

[alonsowwss]

Only AD here , here’s the order I got em

Batman gmt
Ceramic Daytona
Yachtmaster
DJ 41
Ceramic Kermit
BLRO gmt

I think you should ask for the watch you want and I really believe people gotta stop being afraid to ask the AD to spend 10k on a watch they want next

[JRell]

11 Rolexes that I have been through, all purchased and 9 sold back to my AD.

[Robf52]

AD only.

[JaffH_iii]

Same. AD only
