some frustration with buying new rolexes

[watchthisway]

so i'm starting to get a little frustrated with rolex as it seems all of the new watches i want to buy i can't actually buy. at least at the retail price.

namely, the new daytona (white or black) and the ss pepsi gmt that is coming out.

it seems you have to have a relationship with a rolex dealer to get on their preferred waiting list for one of these hot watches.

last week i called around a few rolex dealers locally here in los angeles and even out of town to see if i could get on a waiting list for the new ss pepsi. universally they indicated they were giving preferential treatment to their established customers.

so basically i have to buy a watch i don't actually want from them to be able to get a watch that i do want?

the irony is i own 4 rolexes and a tudor. it's just most of those are vintage and the one more modern one was a gift.

i just wanted to vent a little. i imagine there are probably others out there who are experiencing the same frustrations i am.
