After a few hours on the road, stopped last night at a local AD (yes, I am a WIS), asked about the RG YM. The answer: "We can only sell you one if you have bought from us before"

Lousy sales strategy...just sharing.

Eric Chan · 7 January 2016, 04:31 AM

I have not heard that one before. My AD contact would say that these guys are in the business of "sales prevention" with this type of service.

psv · 7 January 2016, 04:34 AM

Idiots!

It is readily available at any AD I go to here in the US.

The only watch that is in short supply here in the US is the D-blue.

Totally agree, G. That's one lousy sales strategy. I mean it's 2016, you'd think that they got rid of that mentality already.

Crazy

superdog · 7 January 2016, 04:37 AM

that is the dumbest thing i have ever heard.

adawil2002 · 7 January 2016, 04:37 AM

My AD has one and would sell it to anyone willing to buy..I've tried it on though out of my watch budget for 2016.

ltmgeller · 7 January 2016, 04:42 AM

Cut off your nose to spite your face.

dysondiver · 7 January 2016, 04:46 AM

well that saves them the bother of selling you one ,,,

Danny83 · 7 January 2016, 04:52 AM

Ahhhh.....come on Gerardo tell them " Your Talking to the Ceo of the 2016 Gtg"

brandrea · 7 January 2016, 04:55 AM

I wonder how that strategy is working for them

TheRolexKingofLV · 7 January 2016, 05:01 AM

I've seen that piece at numerous ADs, and everyone of them would have been happy to "wrap it up" on the spot...wonderful sales strategies, oh so clever

SemperFi · 7 January 2016, 05:02 AM

That's just nuts. Maybe if you offered to cook a meal for them?

Duke84 · 7 January 2016, 05:25 AM

Baffling. Why wouldn't they want to make a precious metal sale?

Mosbrook · 7 January 2016, 05:36 AM

Where is that?

ZeKe · 7 January 2016, 05:52 AM

That line really works...makes me want to buy 2 watches min from an AD!

Lame

travisb · 7 January 2016, 06:02 AM

Gotta love those strong sales strategies.

KenNethcole · 7 January 2016, 06:05 AM

They must like having it in their display case so much they don't want to part with it

sco · 7 January 2016, 06:06 AM

Same dumb response on the same model!!

I actually wound up talking to the manager, that could not apologize enough for her "misinformed staff"...

Chicago suburbs area by chance?

bodhipooh · 7 January 2016, 06:10 AM

Honestly, I do not understand this strategy at all. Even if you are hoping to set aside the piece for a "valued" client/customer, there is nothing logical about not selling a piece that you can replace in stock easily by ordering more from Rolex HQ.

Ridiculous .... Their loss!

To give up a sale in hand for a perceived one is crazy!

Lee Michaels in North Star mall San Antonio. Moretti's is the only other AD off of 281.

Now you know I am stalking you!

dera · 7 January 2016, 07:08 AM

That salesperson should be working next door...

Wcdhtwn · 7 January 2016, 07:12 AM

You should provide their name and number so we can call and mock them. Jackwagons.
