Hey it was my birthday on Saturday. One week before I texted my SA, “anything special hiding in the back for me?”

Ghosted.

Lol.

You may as well accuse him of having the watch that you want but he just won't let you have it. OFC he's going to ignore you. I'd put you on the top of the "just ignore" list.

Why ? I send light hearted reminders from time to time it seems to pay off.

When I was in business, I would answer every inquiry, no matter what. It's just good business practice, and it will certainly pay off for SAs when market conditions reverse.

As an aside, when I was dealing with Chinese suppliers, they mostly refused to say no. They would simply not answer. That was just their way. "No" was an embarrassment. I would tell them that in the West, we respect a "No" answer, and we're insulted when we don't receive a response. Did it do any good? No.

I prefer to go in and have a face to face conversation with my SA. I text on occasion but typically not for watches I am waiting on.

Yep, exactly.

I actually have a great relationship with my SA and joke around a lot.

I have pretty much received anything I’ve requested except the new Daytona (which is the one I was hoping to get before my b-day!).

My SA asks me to keep in touch. So, I do. It seems to be working well. Having said that, I’m not asking for a Daytona or a Pepsi GMT on Jubilee. I just want a new Explorer.

As an experiment I might offer a bribe to one of the sleazy ADs here in Hong Kong to see what they say. I’ll report back…

It’s a very easy watch to get. You should get the call very soon!
