Incoming Sub
So the wife and I went into our local AD on Saturday afternoon to look at the new Omega Speedmaster that is expected to release soon. The AD didn't have it on display. I saw my SA in the Rolex side of the store and decided to go over and have a chat with him.
After chatting with him for a few minutes and asking if there was a chance that I could get a Sprite, I was offered this beautiful Starbucks! I already have a Sub that my wife got me for our 10yr anniversary a couple of years ago but have always wanted a Hulk or Kermit. She loves the look of the green bezel. Needless to say, we went home Sprite-less but got some Starbucks instead.

I've only gotten a call from an AD once. That was for an Omega Seamaster James Bond edition. All other watches were purchased either grey or the scenario mentioned above. I've been fortunate this year with 2 walk in surprises. Looking forward to many more! Last edited by macluven; 12 March 2024 at 05:34 AM.. Reason: adding text |

I find it interesting that the AD approach to offering watches seems to be: you express an interest in something and rather than give you exactly what you want (even if they have it), they give you something close but slightly different. Like you asked for a Sprite and they gave you a Starbucks. Other people ask for something in WG and it gets offered in YG, etc. I guess that’s to make you buy that offered thing and then keep you on the hook to still chase that thing you wanted in the first place.

Wait...what...? You walked into your local AD to look at Omega's...and your SA offered you a Starbucks/Kermit/LV...? With zero wait time?
I have purchase history with my AD and I have waited for longer than I care to admit for this reference  All frustration aside...massive congratulations!!!

I think it helps that you buy from different brands that they carry. I guess it shows that you're open to buying and shows you're potentially a long term customer instead of a "hit and run" kinda customer. I have to say, each watch I did buy was something that I was specifically looking for. I didn't buy what was offered just to have a relationship with the AD.

Obviously, I wouldn't just buy anything they offered. It's gotta be something that I would want. |
