Also, surely you're on the forums enough to have noticed this same line used over and over again. Personally, I'm on quite a lot and have noticed this trend. It seems salespeople from all around the world claim "we haven't seen any of (inset watch here)." Yet, there's over 1,500 Rolex distributors and now north of an estimated 1 million watches sold per year. Strange, right? Are Ben Clymer and John Mayer buying all the watches directly from Rolex? It would seem so, if we believe these salespeople. Finally, prefacing that final statement by saying "with all due respect" doesn't quell a later disrespectful comment. Perhaps your "relationship" is truly that, and much more than a salesperson lying to create goodwill. |

Who knows, you may be right. It’s just hard to imagine an AD with three branches like yours has not seen a single OP Celebration dial in 36 or 41 in the thirteen months they have been out. Even harder to believe considering the multiple social media posts of anonymous SAs saying they aren’t allowed to tell the truth when it comes to inventory. You could be right, I do not have the ego to think I know all but it does seem a bit like an older kid holding on to a belief in Santa Claus. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

That’s great and I think I am getting to a similar point with my AD. I asked about the puzzle dial DD, and he said no chance and no point in adding to my list. I totally understood. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Celebration OP for wife dilemma
Why would you feel bad for me? My SA takes very good care of me. I never seriously asked for the Celebration dial. We were merely discussing it. I prefer my silver dial, with the gold accents. I’m not even sure I’d buy it, if offered. Also, I’ve always known there is no list, per se. An SA takes down your name, contact info and the watch you want. Then they may or may not keep you in mind for it, based on whatever criteria they choose.

Actually, No. My SA was not in the day I bought the Wimbledon. So, I do know not to trust that particular SA, and did have a conversation with my real SA about her, since he is a Mgr. What I’ve come to learn is that all exhibition pieces are eventually sold. Also, they don’t let all customers try them on. The exhibition pieces remain fully stickered, until released for sale. My watch showed no signs of having been handled. Kat Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

I would politely inform them that if they are unable to provide the 36, I will no longer be able to maintain my VIP customer status. This may encourage them to reconsider and provide the 36.

Decline. 31 is too small. Anyway you listed for a 36. Like others write you don’t have to settle. She might love it, but the bigger chance is that she’s not.

If RSC says here is anything wrong with the watch (there won't be), let the Trusted Seller know and he will take it back immediately. Read up here on the Trusted Sellers. They have worked for many, many years to build up their reputations. They are not going to risk millions of dollars in future sales to screw you out of a 36 celebration with a fake dial. This is risk-free way to buy the watch, since you will send it to RSC. |

As far as promoting resellers…I don’t necessarily promote them, but do use them. Because….I don’t have to play the BS games, get the BS runaround, spend money on things I don’t necessarily want to buy to POSSIBLY get something I want in 1,2,3..5 yrs, or be on a BS list. Happily have a watch I want on my wrist in 24-48 hrs. It may cost more at this point, (prices dropping daily) but I budget that in when shopping. |
