i think a black card is more effective. The more money you have the less you deal in cash it seems. Carrying that much cash implies its a major purchase... not that its just a normal wednesday.

Agree. Very beta and needy.

Exercise your right to public demonstration and hold a sign out front that says "where's my Rolex?", and bring a megaphone and chant "what do we want? Rolex! When do we want it? In less than 2 years!"

Then they bump you to the top of the list.

There are really many great watches in the World. Rolex is just one brand. There is no sense in being so fixated on a specific brand or reference. It should not be a "must have" aspect of your life. Sucking up to one retailer just to score one "grail" strikes me as being somewhat unhealthy. If you start losing sleep over not scoring a specific watch seeking professional help might be in order.

My shrink wears a Valjoux Daytona. I tried to rip it off his wrist on my second visit. Since then he holds a stun gun during my appointments.

Agreed. I can smell the estrogen infused soy on the OP from here. Pathetic thread.

This whole idea of getting on bended knee for an AD is absoultely ridiculous. Either go vintage, move to another brand or wait until this current craziness dissipates. It's your $$ after all and who cares what other fat cats may be willing to pay in order to curry favor? They are still making around 40% profit, so to cater to them for one's hard earned money is a non-starter for me at least. Waiting in hopes of a call that may never come doesn't make sense to me. I'd rather spend my time and $$ where I have some control.

Bring them just some chocolates every now and than and send them some flowers when one of their employees is sick and they would absolutely sell you the watch you desire.

There is always the spell your name in gasoline in the parking lot and light it up strategy. Fairly certain they would remember you for that!

In Germany and i think Spain public nudity is legalwise not forbidden. Might get in the AD stark naked with a sock around your ##@$f0rbidden# and a leather belt around you with a big purse and they would certainly remember you.. After you can still bring them donuts every now and than.
