WOS group cool of period

Does anyone know anything about this cool of period after purchasing a watch at a WOS group boutique? I guess it’s BS?

the usual 7 or 14 days for a refund, as long as the watch is deemed unworn?

Basically, it means that you're not getting another desirable watch for a little while. It's not like a 'distance selling act' cooling off period, more to ensure fairness across their customer base. Most ADs do something similar.

My ad Said they have a period where you will not receive to call. Wouldn’t say how long that period was. However I spoke to him almost three months after my last purchase and said “not long left”

Never seen anyone else speak of it on here.

Instead of "building a relationship" and making multiple purchases to build loyalty, they're taking the entirely opposite approach. I purchased a PM watch from a WoS in early 2022 and, though they haven't told me about this "policy," I very much believe it to be true. I've connected with them half a dozen times since then and they're entirely non-committal on me ever seeing another watch.

This is true. There is a waiting period after getting a Rolex. My last one came in and sat in safe for 1 month and I was able to pick this up on the 1st of the month. After 3 month since my last one. This has been the case for my last 5 purchases.

I don't think this is quite the case. Realistically, very few of your average customers are dropping 10k every 6 months on a new watch unless they're not keeping hold of them for long. That being said if you are in a position to spend that much it wouldn't be fair to gobble up all the AD inventory when their are other customers wanting one special watch. They can't win!

I’m sure most ADs have something like that for most customers…. Perhaps the emphasis is on “most customers” since a super important one at a jewelry store might get additional benefits. But overall it makes sense — you get a Daytona or something even more difficult to obtain like a nautilus and then you’re not going to see another high demand piece for a bit, as they AD is going to want to give other good customers the opportunity.

My AD will only allocate 1 hot piece a year. If you spend big on other things obviously the rules change.
