"I know how the game is played.."

Why do people say this to me, an AD?
If you do, then why don't you already have blah blah blah?
I had two jabroni's say this last week.

Why do people come into my shop and say they know how the game is played, referring to how to get a high demand watch. If they know, then play the game or get the F out.

Dear diary…

LOL sounds like you’re running a Mickey Mouse AD with those comments. Why would one want to patronize a place like yours?

Politely tell them what’s up and keep it moving.

I'm not sure exactly, but I think this is about a dude that gets off pillaging customers by selling a bunch of stuff they don't want to get a watch that they do. This thread will end well.

If you work at an AD, why don't you share your criteria for allocating stainless Rolex?

I don’t know but I would like to. I’ve bought two watches YM37 and DJ4 (two different AD’s), still trying to get something like a sub..

Most of it is just being nice, and honest. Too many men are just selfish douch bags. And these are the ones that come in with attitudes thinking they know everything.

I do not know how to play the game. I would love to know how to improve upon my deficiencies.

Whoever runs TRF needs to incorporate multiple choice questions for access to the forums. Phase out the true-false screening. Jeese

Do you have any suggestions for how someone should behave and what actions they should take if they want to purchase a Rolex from an AD such as yourself?

Rolex created the situation. If you want to sell Rolex it's kinda part of the deal.

Knowing the game and choosing to play are two different things. Are you saying there is no game???
