Should i ask for a hot piece bundle

My purchasing history with the AD is the following:
2019: Explorer 1
2020: SS BLRO
2021: DJ 31 two tone with diamond hour markets for fiance. I want to buy an Everose Skydweller. They asked for a 10% deposit and delivery in 2 months. Shall i ask for a bundle with the SS Daytona/Submariner Cermit?

I think a two tone diamond DJ + full gold SkyD warrants a hot piece. What do you think?

Ask your AD. Good luck sounds like you won’t need it

You should ask, but I don't think it will work. PM pieces are getting so hard to come by now, you're certainly not doing the AD any favors buy purchasing the Everose SkyD. I think the days of picking up a PM sitting in a case in return for a hyped SS piece are over -- there are hardly any PMs sitting in cases!

if you got a BLRO I would think you don’t need to bundle for a LV. As far as the Daytona, you won’t know until you ask. GL!

You can make an argument but make sure you can handle the truth.

I just don’t get this philosophy. If you are willing to buy crap you don’t want and spend X extra dollars to get something you don’t want why? Just go buy from a gray then.

I get the philosophy of folks not wanting anything over MSRP and they just hold out for their AD to get them one or not.

Any watch basically can be had if you have the money and want it now. Why buy a bunch of junk just to get it. Just go buy it.

Whilst I agree with your comments - this doesn’t seem to apply here. The OP specifically DOES want the SkyDweller... and presumably the fiancé wanted the DJ31.

Go for it, it should be easy to get that combo.

I'd ask 100% . If you like both equal ask for the Daytona since it's harder to get

Thanks guys for all the opinions. I have been on the waiting list for the Daytona for at leat 2 years and i also let them know i want the Cermit once it was announced. So, they know what i want.

Ask for the Rolex you want, whether it is hot or not.

Don’t let the hype dictate which pieces you are interested in

Just have the conversation and see what they say. If the answer is no, ask what it takes. Good luck.
