The AD experience just gets better and better.

Her words not mine, "First person to react to the IG story and reply sold will get the allocation, regardless of purchase history".

I thought it was really weird as well. But we went through the whole store talking out loud about this specific "method".

Well he/she also is promoting her own watch accessory brand so that might have to do with it. How much longer until customers get turned away by ugly practices like this?

Applies to facebook as well.

Some here like to post about MODA. "Oh yeah, prices have crashed, everything is at MSRP on MODA!"

Well to get on Moda:
- Must register for facebook
- Account must be in good standing for a very long time (years?)
- Must have friends
- Profile pic
- Must have a reference

Certainly not open to the public. Youngsters with heavy social media use - yes.

Well, my struggle is finding an AD that is willing to sell to me. I am on their registry for years now and never receive a call. Any ideas?

Agree. This is one of the reasons that, while I will enjoy reading on these forums about others receiving their new Rolexes, I will not be buying any more for the time being!

I think the key wording is..."Basically told me to follow her Instagram and she would put up the watches that are available for sale on her “IG story”".

The watches that will be available for sale will not be the popular SS models. The watches "available for sale " are the ladies TT models.

I don’t see how she will get any Rolex allocations from Wempe management if that is true. My experience with them has been great, but they definitely prioritize local customers who are interested in more than just Rolex (their words not mine). That makes sense given that there are supposedly over 700 people who have registered interest in a Sub date with them.

I'm still a fan of Thunderdome. Five customers enter, one leaves with the Rolex.

That’s a smart move to get more viewings and followers on her IG.

Surprise her company allows for this! Point to her for being creative

As long as there is money to be made from flipping watches and ADs continue to push the perceived exclusivity, this will continue.

What we have learned over the past several years is many many people will do WHATEVER IT TAKES to get a Rolex on their wrist.

If true it’s a matter of time before someone makes a bot that will instantly reply sold before you could even get an alert. Very easy to do even if your no a programmer.

Meanwhile in the real world, she probably got a raise. Every store I've registered with has deleted their wait lists several times over. Wouldn't shock me at all if they're using some other system. ("OK, whoever posts a positive Google review gets the call!")
