What would be expected from your AD to obtain a GMT or Daytona?

Life is too short … maybe consider another line of work, for your own well being.
I’m not sure getting mad at someone, because they are asking you for something that they want, is healthy. |

I don't get mad. It's just annoying. We actually laugh at people who stupid stuff like that.

the business is literally selling watches.
whoever your customers are, they have accepted that there is a game and are willing to engage. I am a collector. I have heard of the game. I am not willing to engage nor walk into the AD any longer. what if they simply close their doors and all sales are done on line direct to manufacturer? like it or not, desirable customer or not... the store doesn't exist without the customer. make every customer feel special, even when you tell them no and then eventually make the sale.

it's clear to me who the douche bag is in this equation and it's not the customer. I'll leave it at that!

There have been many times I’ve been treated like garbage at the ADs even before I opened my mouth and asked any question, attitude changes when I take my jacket off and they can spot whatever I’m wearing but still, I would say the douchery goes both ways, actually in my case I’m never a douche, I’m always smiley, polite and excited to nerd out about watches, yet I’ve had 10 different Rolex and still didn’t manage to get a single one from an AD…I guess I don’t know how to play the game after all :(

So tell me… how much do you pimp out (not pump out) a client for them to be even considered for a Daytona?
I’ll tell you one thing. Wouldn’t be me. Have more self respect than to play games and beg for stuff

I agree you should look for another line of work. This difficult watch market has taken its toll on you. Understandable of course, but regularly feeling ill of people makes no sense. Life is too short.

I was on holiday and went by an AD to look at a non Rolex brand. The sales associate treated me like I could not afford the watch I was looking at. He mentioned selling me some women's gold watches or even writing an SA on why I wanted to buy the watch. I'm glad that the AD that I purchased all my Rolex's from doesn't play silly games like that. The sad thing is, I probably make more money in a week than this sales guy makes a year. When you're looking to spend 6 figures on a watch, that should be enough for them.

Lmao I feel bad for anyone who’s encountered this SA. What’s the point of venting like this?

I don’t know man. You work behind a counter. About 1 step up from someone that has to ask, “do you want fries with that?”
So I would get some perspective. lol. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
