And what did you get out of going to the top of the food chain?

I developed a good one recently this year.

Just this year I got a SS Daytona C White dial in late January and a DeepSea D-Blue in February. After the SD4k was announced it was being discontinued my AD thought of me and called me asking if I wanted the last one they had in stock so I bought that in March. I also purchased an SD43 in October. I received a discount off MSRP on all, except the Daytona C. Paid MSRP for the Daytona C. I started my relationship with this AD over 11 years ago. The first watch they sold me was a white dial 116520, only a few months after meeting the owner. I have received allocation on popular models over the years from this AD and have purchased my fair share of watches from them.

Thanks for sharing the pics. Love those triplets. Beautiful line up.

Great selection!

Nicely watches
A pleasure to see them

Great watches. I have a good relationship with my AD and benefit from it also. I just remember that it is business and not personal and my expectations are such that we never have an issue.

Very interesting, good luck with the new hotel! I’m young and have been in sales my whole life. I always express how important repeat and referral business is for a long healthy book of business. I am only 29 but have made life long friends just by going about my business a tad different from the rest of the pack. It’s amazing how often the phone will ring with another referral from XYZ and that is the most satisfying compliment I can receive.

Nicely done. Sounds like you’ve dropped a lot of cash there.

May I ask - do you live in a large city or small town?

LuminousMaximus · 18 December 2017, 09:56 AM

I agree with you the trusted sellers are a great bunch of guys.

I have them on a text message and I send out Holiday messages to them.

And nice lineup

Never hurts to make friends wherever you can.

Definitely not a huge spender there, but have gotten to know the people over the years, usually offer them first crack at any purchase I am looking to make, and think they appreciate selling this stuff to an overexcited geek when it comes in, and one who wears it..

Very nice trio

Where is the winder from?

braith · 18 December 2017, 11:31 AM

Well thought out collection.

Now that is an ideal Rolex line up! NICE!

travisb · 20 December 2017, 08:20 PM

Looks great Bill! I agree, good a good AD relationship goes a long way with securing the more high demand pieces.

Dyim · 20 December 2017, 09:35 PM

At first glance, I thought the SD43 was the new Coke!
