Honestly after the fact that the op's thread is another example of a post and run, it comes off as a complete troll post, sorry.
By his own admission the op knows this has been "covered" before and is looking for tips...exactly what is expected, a purchase over the next couple days of the most sought after Rolex watches?

I feel bad for all the posters like Paul and Fleetlord who took their time to write real helpful insights for what seems to be merely amusement.

To buy any in demand Rolex watch now and going forward the answer is simple, you have history dating back to the pre-silly era, you spend lots of money, you wait, or the moon and the stars align and you get lucky, all the while keeping in mind that being a nice person, polite and cordial still go a long way.

Ah, I see. It just seems to me that as I've read, I've noticed that most want brand-new or grey.

I received a BLRO as my first purchase from an exceptional local AD - full disclosure - it was bundled with a TT Lady DJ. Even then, I'm more than aware of how ridiculously rare this is, and how fortunate I was, but it can happen. Good AD's do exist, but they are as rare as the watches themselves.

I had a family member that worked at the AD.
Waited 1 year before getting mine. Still VERY lucky to be offered one.

You might want to look at secondary market, or another watch.

Now THIS is a response I can get behind.

More like demanding the raffle ticket for free, and insisting that it be a winner.

She knows what I have and that I’ll spend the cash no questions asked on some other pieces I want

She just told me sorry can’t get any of that for you without the purchase history and nothing even available to sell you....

Didn’t even try to push me into anything else cause apparently there truly isn’t anything to sell or worthwhile? Your chances in this climate are 0 to negative digits imo on those two pieces

Ps I even asked straight out if I bought another precious metal sky could that start the relationship to get green dial gold Daytona , Pepsi and again she said there are simply just too many people ahead even with a purchase! Ad.s vary but I can’t imagine any being dead and having openings for those, not a chance

Don’t waste your time with ad.... I use to hate buying grey now it’s convenient and easy ... have want you want when you want it, no games other than increased price which is what it is and you know it going in, so not a game anymore lol... so what if you lose 4-6k on a Pepsi which won’t even happen over the years anyway.... you’ll save time, headache, aggravation, life is short! Any depreciation in a grey Rolex is pennies compared to Supercar/ luxury depreciation if a car guy haha
Go for it and don’t think twice

That is serious flex! The guy is talking about walking in for the first time and asking for a SS watch (possibly his first) and you want to compare $200K + (on a very very very bad day of evaluation) worth of watches you flashed to the SA so they know you are serious. Not the same AT ALL.

No Daytona and no Pepsi from either, been asking for the Daytona since 2016. I just went grey for Daytona and Pepsi. Sucks but if u are in LA you are gonna have to buy PM watches or jewelry it’s not gonna happen.

That sums it up

You forgot skipping all that nonsense and going grey.

Oh yes of course, you're right, I was referring to ADs though, should have clarified.

[alphadweller]

Many big spenders want the same watches as you, who do you think the AD would rather sell them to? Don't take it personally, it's only business.
