I am waiting for a Hulk, Batman, or white face Daytona. My AD texted me today that she got in a Milguass and a Airking and if I would like to go in and buy one. Well I don’t like those models and Im not a rich man so I turned them down. I hope I didn’t screw myself with my AD..

e dantes · 8 November 2020, 12:22 PM

I cannot imagine spending that kind of money on watch I don't like.

Geckobros · 8 November 2020, 12:22 PM

You should always get what you want and not settle. Good on you.

fskywalker · 8 November 2020, 12:23 PM

Buy what you like!

You made the right decision. Otherwise, you will be screwed when your AD calls you next week with your long awaited model.

dpt.calvin · 8 November 2020, 12:49 PM

Do you have any purchase history with this AD? If not, don’t hold your breath waiting for any of those. Not sure what’s less likely, the Hulk or white Daytona. Batman...maybe.

BrettG · 8 November 2020, 12:52 PM

How could the AD offer a Hulk?

garyk · 8 November 2020, 12:53 PM

Good job, get what you are passionate about!

I’m sure some AD has a Hulk in “the vault.”

Its okay to refuse politely to your AD or else they would think they can just milk you if they need a sale before sending their monthly sales to the main office. Just stick to what you want and eventually you'll get it. Because same thing happened to me and still managed to get what I want eventually.

yes, she got me a 116610LN back in June

Frakis · 8 November 2020, 01:28 PM

Don't get suckered into the games that AD's play. Don't buy a watch that you have no intention of wearing. Be honest with them, and let your SA know what you are looking for.

From my experience if you are up front and honest with your SA they will be honest with you. They will either let you know if they can get the watch you are looking for or not. If they can't get it, then it's up to you how bad you want it. Pay a premium, go grey and have it on your wrist the next morning.

Buy what you like

Hulk is discontinued unless they switched you to the new Kermit

Hard to say if turning down milgauss and AK will impact your ability to get your desired 3 watches because don’t know your relationship or purchase history

Never buy something you don’t want. If you feel forced to bundle and buy a bunch of stuff you don’t like, just go out and buy what you want from a Grey dealer. Same difference! $

214270Explorer · 8 November 2020, 01:49 PM

You did not screw yourself.
What you DID do is NOT screw the guy who REALLY wanted the watch you rejected.

Nikrnic · 8 November 2020, 01:55 PM

You did the right thing by not playing the AD game and made your point at the same time. Don't second guess yourself, either way she'll call you or not.

jrs146 · 8 November 2020, 02:04 PM

I’m sure you’re fine. You’re either going to get the watch or not. They likely don’t care about you not buying the others. They were probably sold in the next phone call they made.

Boopie · 8 November 2020, 02:17 PM

Agreed with the sentiments here. Buy what you want. Watches you don’t like and won’t wear are expensive no matter what the price.

peterpl · 8 November 2020, 02:41 PM

You did the smart move. Buying those pieces you would be losing money flipping to a gray so that is a losing game.

Just wait or stomp up the money on the gray market.

Rado63 · 8 November 2020, 02:42 PM

The AD will always offer watches you didn't request. Turn them down and they know you are not a collector / buyer. They will keep you on the list and who knows when your dealer will call with an unspoken for watch you desire. Always depends on the market you are in. If you are in TX then Dallas probably the most difficult market compared to other markets.

TswaneNguni · 8 November 2020, 02:44 PM

Your question is really,did the AD expect you to take a lesser model,after selling you a Sub/Date .
Answer: Yes

iTreelex · 8 November 2020, 03:45 PM

looks like you got bumped down the waiting list. 5 more years for you.

Don't play their games. Get what you want.

Lol-x · 8 November 2020, 03:45 PM

That message was code for:

"If you want a Daytona, Submariner & GMT come and buy either a MIlgauss or Air-King and you will be golden!"

Sorry bro but you just dropped the ball

BNA/LION · 8 November 2020, 04:05 PM

I'm afraid unless your AD is your friend and knows your situation you may have screwed the pooch!

Good Luck!

broham84 · 8 November 2020, 04:57 PM

You did the right thing, however, you probably did screw yourself a lil.

joli160 · 8 November 2020, 05:18 PM

The wait will be longer, you only want the hyped models like everybody else and than requested all three

Typical flipper behavior, that’s OK but AD will give preference to flippers who buy also the more difficult references
