It's like when you get pulled over by the police and there's a window between them just taking your license and insurance card and writing up a ticket....that small window where you find a way to connect and cause a hiccup in the matrix.
I used to always keep expired insurance cards to hand them while I'd make believe I couldn't find the current one. The salesperson was telling you roughly how they might decide who gets a watch and as others have pointed out, they want to sell to people they like. I can't tell you what to say exactly but just like when I'd get pulled over, try to make more of a connection, be polite and light about it and as others have said...I bet one is in the not too distant future for you.

To the OP, yes, I think they will eventually pull through for you on that Sub. Shouldn't be an issue |

I agree. Relationship is number one. Ive been able to get watches not because of who i know but because of who i have been introduced to from other large clients. OP- Your spend seems very in line with what some ADs would see before they allocate a sub. I would go in again and be upfront. You would like a sub, is that something that they get make happen. It’s easy. You will know based on what they say if its going to happen. I would continue checking in and presenting your interest and at some point, i think you will get taken care of. I can give you my own example. Local AD, bought a few pieces of jewelry and a Tudor for me. I wanted a Sub and was told no issue. Fast forward a year later, same story. Then its like we continue going in this circle and i realized, its not happening. I make a phone call to a buddy, he sets me up with a managing director of a boutique and i was wearing my sub 3 weeks later. The part that always got to me, was i knew they had one. If i had been in 20 times or so ( its very local and near somewhere i frequent) they absolutely had one in the safe that i could have bought. They had just decided to let someone else buy it. I love the guys at the local ad, we talk watches when i am around and they are really great. But, my spending there is done. I buy everything from the boutique now. I have a fairly large jewelry purchase coming up and ill be buying it elsewhere because they have not taken care of me. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

All 3 of my sports models were first purchases from 3 different ADs To be fair, the explorer I asked for during a transaction for my wife’s dj36 Since then, i have since found my long term AD Best thing I can tell you is have a direct conversation. “I’d love a sub for my wedding. Is that within the realm of possibilities?” Any answer other than “yes” = it ain’t coming
