Declined list

What have you been offered by your AD that you have respectfully declined and are there any that you regret passing on? I’ve passed on a TT SD43, Exp II black dial, GMT Batman twice, and a pink dial OP 36 for the wife. Only one I regret passing on was the OP 36 but the wife wanted a tennis bracelet instead…

I’ve passed on a OP41 Tiffany and CHNR TT Rootbeer. Kind of regret passing on both.

All new GMTs, various Daytonas, black dial subs, YM, olive dial DD in RG and WG. YG and WG subs. Although I REALLY regret passing on the blue dial wg sub. Only did because I have the TT blue dial sub.

Just have to know when to pass. I’ve had the BLNR on my wrist several times and it just doesn’t work for me.

If you say "CHNR" then you don't have to say "Rootbeer".

That’s a heck of a list! Olive dial DD in RG or WG would be hard to pass up…Agree about the BLNR

White gold blue face Daytona about a year ago used but fresh from Rolex service for $35k! Still regret that decision.

BLRO. I passed as it didn’t look as nice on me as I would have imagined based upon pics here and it was the gentlemanly thing to do as I knew the next person on the list, they wanted it way more than I did.

When I read the title of this thread, I thought an AD was declining a buyer....

Was told 3 years ago that my AD could get me a Hulk with a few months wait. Also offered a white steel SkyD last year but passed on it. Not sure if I fully regret turning down the SkyD though.

In July 2020 I was offered and declined a BLNR on Jubilee. Last week I picked up my BLRO on Oyster. Worth the wait for me.

I've also been offered a TT white Sky dweller, which I gratefully accepted.

Explorer 1 39mm after trying it on a the AD and finding the proportions way off, also the new air-king and milgauss offered to me during the start of the pandemic.

Declined a TT Daytona about 18 months ago. Lovely watch for someone, just not me.

I've past on a Batgirl, Explorer I (2X), Rootbeer, Bluesy and Sea Dweller as I own four of the five so I left them for the next lucky person.

Good point. My AD called me a few months ago and offered me a Rose Gold RG Rootbeer 126715CHRN solid gold black and brown GMT Master 2. I had just bought one 1 week prior from the grey

Good on you. I would have loved to be there to see the face of the SA when you said no. They must have been shocked

Have never not been offered anything I did not request and then waited a long time for, so I have not been in a position to decline a watch offered by an AD thinking I might like it. It does happen as shown by the many threads here that folks were offered hard to get pieces just out of the blue by their ADs.
