Got the call from the AD that he got a Stainless Sub no-date in today. He left me a voicemail at 3:43 PM and I called him back at 3:54 PM. Called him back and someone else had bought it. Bummer. Oh well, maybe it's a blessing to not shell out that much right before X-Mas.

-Ally- · 10 December 2019, 07:47 AM

Obviously not a valued customer then. Go elsewhere.

Yellowfury · 10 December 2019, 07:50 AM

Thankfully the no date sub isn’t as hard to come by as some others

Tangier11 · 10 December 2019, 07:52 AM

Not a fan of the no date, but they sure didn't give you much time to respond!

skhan007 · 10 December 2019, 07:53 AM

Agreed. I'm not a valued customer, having only set up the relationship back in June with some purchases for my wife. He told me he notified three people at once and the first guy to respond got it. I'm not that bummed, honestly. There will be other opportunities.

Nikrnic · 10 December 2019, 08:14 AM

Geez, they couldn't give you the benefit of calling back. Eleven minutes!! Sounds like they kept calling down the list.

That’s a weak move by the AD.

Right! Hopefully next time around they'll wait.

Hunger Games approach is just to amuse the ADs as they watch you dance, should just choose the customer most valued and give them a day to respond.

Rado63 · 10 December 2019, 08:40 AM

At least they tried to call you. I heard some AD's won't bother calling for a sub, since people walk in all the time asking for subs. Just sell to the next client who walks in.

MSchu · 10 December 2019, 08:47 AM

My AD called me today also... he left me a message that he had my meteorite dial Pepsi gmt ready for pick up... but I can't afford it.
:p

envuks · 10 December 2019, 08:47 AM

What exactly happened? This seems like extremely poor service by the AD and I would have been miffed.

They should have saved the watch for you for at least 24 hours if they left you a voicemail about it. If they just planned to call the next guy, they shouldn’t have left you a voicemail.

Very bad service if that’s how it went down.

That's the rule they follow. They call #1 on the list - if he don't pick, they call #2 and so on. They will not wait with stock in hand when they can have the sale in next 5 minutes.

Why are you on that list then? Did you put yourself on that list?

Very generous with the max time to respond.

Guess Rolex buyers aren’t working and merely at home on a Forum or something.

Should have given you time til end of business day, unless you are not at the top of the list.

Anamelistic · 10 December 2019, 02:06 PM

Sorry about it bud. Same thing happened to me in September, didn't expect a call so soon. Bought used at same price with tax (shrugs shoulders) what a time to be alive.

TswaneNguni · 10 December 2019, 02:09 PM

Same happened to me ,but I was the lucky one who got a Sub/date.

nikesupremedunk · 10 December 2019, 02:18 PM

Wow, that's pretty grimey. I get that times are tough but can't even give you 10 minutes to call back. I would still wait for the next call but maybe take my business elsewhere in the future.

brucethemanlee · 10 December 2019, 04:21 PM

11 minutes? that's just bad form. Should have left message to say you had an hour or at least to the end of the day

Several ADs told me they won’t leave voicemails. They call and the person who answers gets the chance. People who don’t answer their phone get hung up on and the next person in line is called.

Fair enough really

Exactly....otherwise you’d have to wait a period of time between each call, giving each person a certain amount of time. If you offered person B an hour and person A called back to confirm you upset person B etc

Brew · 10 December 2019, 08:03 PM

Sorry you missed out, but I don't have an issue with how the AD manages his stock.

japenney · 10 December 2019, 08:58 PM

I think they should of at least given you an hour. The watch would still be sold by the end of the day so what does it matter to them.

MSchu, are you the same person as on the 2p2 forums?

brandrea · 10 December 2019, 10:16 PM

I’ve heard of things coming down to the 11th hour, but the 11th minute ...

I hope you land another one OP

My thoughts exactly. Very shitty of that AD to not at least hold it for the day for you. Shop somewhere else. You shouldn't have a huge wait to source that model.

That’s really annoying for you. If it makes it better, at least it wasn’t a daytona c! Fingers crossed you’ll find your sub soon, they’re not too hard to come by
