Well then shitty it is. I would somehow agree if the said AD was selling discontinued models or CPO, but it is not the case. And in my case I just asked him to send to watch to the RSC like normal so I don’t really the difference.

All ADs are bad based on one encounter that was unsatisfactory for you? Boo hoo.
I’ve had 5 ADs I dealt with, all outstanding people with trained staff.
Lately, these type Rolex retailers are disappearing, giving the current ADs a superiority complex.
Wait 2 years, they will be begging for our business and greys will be discounting again.

And today on "things that didn't happen"

I'm sure people come on here just to post stuff they have made up so they can post something. Similar to the posts that say, "ive just been talking to my AD and they have told me this secret"
