One of my ADs rolls out the red carpet with flowing drinks and fresh baked cookies and candies....but really only around Christmas time. Rest of the year it’s a soft drink or bottled water.

In Hong Kong, we don't get much, the AD salespeople would prefer to close a sale and send us on our way. Same with AD's in Tokyo.

You should have asked for some “root beer” on the house

Sounds like a repeat visit to my AD
They must get frustrated being asked the same questions,,

Any GMT's available

Knowing they could sell loads but can't get any

Before Wintrust took the lead role, VC was the title sponsor for the CYC Race to Mackinac.



Taittinger is the current champagne supplier to the Mac race. Why Rolex isn't a sponsor, only it knows.

I never had even water at my AD but they delivered Pepsi, hulk, daytonaC....... etc.
I’d rather that and I can get my drinks elsewhere while enjoying the watch on my wrist

Bottled water is all I have ever been offered.

I was at the AD last weekend, I asked for my SS BLRO and was told that they only received 2 SS BLRO a year so far, so I'm still on the SS BLRO 20 year waiting list, my wife did get a cold bottle of water from them.

I’m going to my AD tomorrow to see if I can get wasted...only seems fair for buying a less than popular Rolex
