What people would do for a watch. It’s a different world that we live in.

All this relationship talk for me is a load of rubbish
Save yourself money in the long run and buy from a trusted reseller

Believe me, I imagine this is where I'll end up, but I just want to understand this AD business!

Good luck to you if you can crack the code. If you have been in Singapore for awhile .. it comes down to who you know or what kind of connections you have.

Each AD is different. Each country/culture is different. And you're asking about buying potentially over a million dollars worth of jewelry. Most folks on here are buying a $10,000 watch every 5-10 years.

Honestly it’s probably too late in the game…

The only chance you have is to show up at the store and buy buy buy buy buy…

There is a big difference though…..you’re asking how to “build” a relationship with an AD…

The people you are competing with have no such concerns….they spend all the money because they want to and don’t have to fret about AD relationships….the AD frets about keeping them! That’s right….so you have no chance unless you get to buying..

I’ve had two very different experiences over the years buying Rolex from two different AD’s. The first was a smaller (albeit mid size globally) AD. The other was tourneau. Tourneau was much better overall. Your purchase history is tracked in every store. Meaning if you move it’s okay.

Relationships with salespersons are hard. But if you are spending, do it somewhere where it counts. I have been treated very well at Tourneau.
