Rolex VIP Event and Got a Surprise
With some threads are discussing about Rolex VIP event, I just want to share my experience attending one.
Yesterday, I went to the VIP Event in Houston's Rolex Boutique and had a great time. Get a chance to try on the new 2020 releases, they have mock up display watches such as : Sub No Date (Black), Sub Date (Black), Sub Date (Kermit), Two Tone Sub with Royal Blue Dial (this one is to die for), Yellow Gold Sub Date with Blue Dial, White Gold Sub (Blue), several new Day Date, several new Sky Dweller and bunch of OP 36 & 41 (turquoise dial is amazing). And at the end of the event, they gave a goodie bag which contains some sweets and Rolex pen (with my name engraved on it, very nice touch). Overall, very nice experience and at the end, my SA just said that he might have a surprise. Then he went inside and come out with Brand New 126610LN. I was taken by surprise and over the moon, I was not expecting to purchase the new sub ... Very happy |

Lucky you, I'm in your area and didn't get an invite. But I have never bought anything there as they have never had anything in stock when I have stopped in.

The past 5 years, the only surprises after these events was a "personal" discount on jewelry and Breitlings at 30% off.
Congratulations on the personal surprise and pickup. |

Only surprise I ever get at these events is when they tell me, “it’ll be few years before we can get you any of these.” Surprises me every time! It’s like being super hungry, going to a buffet and not being able to have any of the food.

I have attended couple of rolex VIP event 2018 and 2019. But no offer like stay and we have something for you sort of thing. The only model that caught my attention in 2018 was the DBlue. Didnt get the phone call until last week that my JC dblue is ready for me to pick up so I did. Anyways congrats and love to see the rolex pen.

Have to agree, I’d love to see the pen. Awesome surprise. I have a feeling my AD is too small for an event like this.
