How much have you spent at your AD?

Hey everyone. Heard a few things recently about how much spend has to happen at an AD to be offered some hot models.

Just curious with how much have you spent let’s say in the last 3 years total and what models you managed to get.

A friend of mine spent 25k pounds then was offered a hulk

More than a little, less than a lot.

It doesn't matter since each AD is different.

At one AD, I bought a 114060 and that was it. It was immediate stock available at the store the day I called.

Another AD is holding a TT Daytona for me, bought a SS DJ with diamond indices before with them.

Every AD is different...

I have purchased my watches from three ADs. Was placed on a wait-list for all watches except the BLNR and HULK. Never had to purchase anything else to obtain them.

One AD:
2016 - BLNR - $9200
2019 - 500LN (Wht) - 3 year wait

Second AD:
2017 - 116613LB - $14000 - SOLD
2018 - SS BLRO - 8 month wait
2018 - 500LN (Blk) - 2.5 year wait
2019 - SS Sky-D (Blk) - 1 year wait

One-time AD:
2017 - 116610LV - called and placed on hold, wired funds and flew out to pick up 2 weeks later.

Zero, I keep trying, but they don’t ever have inventory. Makes it challenging.

Spent around $70K at the Rolex/PP combo before getting the 2019 BLNR. Spent around $30K at other stores under the umbrella of the jeweler who opened said Rolex/PP boutique.
Have been hinted at possible Aquanaut and maybe 5711 acquisition soon.
