I have received several PM’s with questions regarding thoughts on my models and a lot more in regards to my AD.
In regards to the models, I rank the 3 I own as follows My Favourite - without doubt the 116519. The look, the feel is amazing. Do I think it’s worth the money. Financially - No, I don’t see the value. Happiness - 100% Yes. It’s never been off my wrist. Most Special - the White Dial Daytona. This is the watch that made me want a Rolex. Originally wanted Black but as I said in my original post you need to try to see and feel watches in the flesh to make YOUR decision. Most Important - The Sub. Without this purchase my journey would have been different. My AD. For me the most important thing was I made a purchase which leads to a relationship whether that be friendship or being a VIP. Both of these are different imo. ADs currently get lots of enquiries from people who want Rolexes. Some are genuine buyers and some people get caught up in the fact they love the idea they want a Rolex but don’t have funds. It takes time for trust to develop which is the crucial part of the relationship. My relationship with my AD is unique to me. I have became really good friends with 3 staff in a very short period of time. I do not get treat as a VIP but all their customers are made to feel special and treat with the same respect whether spending £10 or £10,000. However, they do need to look after big spenders, it’s a business at the end of the day and targets have to be achieved. This does not mean that if you have built a genuine good relationship that you will be below big spending customers on lists. I trust my AD and their trust me. I am patient and respectfful and know they will try their best to assist me. My advice is go in person and speak to the assistants. Find the assistant you feel natural with and take it from there. A first purchase is crucial. There is no magic formula in building a relationship or a timeframe. It will happen naturally. For those waiting for a particular model no matter how frustrating you may feel the watch you are meant to own will find you. I know it can be difficult but Be patient and trust your gut feelings about the AD you are dealing with. My journey is currently over for now. Thanks to everyone who has enjoyed reading my lengthy thread and their kind words. For those who doubt my journey,hopefully my pics will support my post. Good luck to everyone for the coming year in obtaining the watch of your dreams. PS - more Pics to follow. |

UK guys take take notes, seems like high demand SS Sub and SS Daytona can be easily found at this AD.
