Wait a sec.... Not only do you not want to spend any money on anything else except BLRO you also haven't visited your local AD in more than 1/2 a year to show your "nice and genuine" side?!?!? Unless your a big VIP spender, which the answer seems to be no, no AD or SA will remember you from a person walking off the street if u visit once every six months. Why would anyone AD source you a BLRO? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

If you want it that bad just suck it up and buy gray.

Not buying and kissing the AD's ass will bring you nothing.
Nobody will give you in one deal effectively several thousands free money for nothing in return Be a bit more realistic. Pay market value and be done with it. Money is easily forgotten when you enjoy a fine watch everyday. Since you want to keep it for over 15 years the extra cost per day can't be all that much

If you can wait 1-5 years I almost guarantee the economy will ebb and you will have a much easier go of it.

That's what I thought once upon a time looking at a 16610LV, didn't work out

Suggest you start a relationship with your AD and pick up some of their lesser desired rolexes to build a purchasing profile. A lot of of the waiting lists are closed for steel rolexes but if you get some purchases down they might more likely to put you on the waiting lists.
There’s no playbook these Rolex AD’s follow it’s the Wild West right now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Simply forget about getting one from an AD with no purchase history or personal relationship. Buy from a trusted seller and enjoy Love mine, but an alternative could actually be a nice 16710 or a BLNR if you only prefer a GMT . I have all three and my 16710 gets far the most wrist time. |

Yah I bought a Milgauss white dial, a datejust 36mm they pushed on me then during 2017 they got me the Hulk and Batman. In 2018 bought a gold two tone yachtmaster sitting on their shelf for a while and a rhodium dial oyster perpetual dial. In 2019 I got the steel Pepsi with jubilee bracelet from them. Since Rolex is only one of the other brands they carry in the retail store. I started buying a couple of their Tudors to keep up with my purchase history. I was told they won’t get me any steel Daytonas as the manager / director of the store is saving for the VIP clients. That’s the long game some of us have to play with these ADs.

There was a guy here on TRF from the UK, he got his SS BLRO from an AD which he never bought anything from the previously (a few even complained about this AD), miracle does happen. Good luck!

Go grey. Rolex-AD’s are not able to deliver the watches people want.

While I am not revealing my full strategy, one thing I can categorically say is that I clearly presented myself as a non flipper, someone who will keep the watch, wear it and appreciate it for years to come. I think that helps a lot, rather than being that guy who walks in once a week and asks for SS sports... |
