Which large chain AD is best for establishing purchase history: Mayors/WOS or Tournea

I want to purchase a Breitling Aerospace at retail for about $4500. I can buy it from Mayors or Tourneau/Bucherer. I have existing Rolex AD relationships at both where I’ve bought just one rolex from each: At Mayors I bought a Submariner Date and at Tourneau/Bucherer I bought an Explorer II polar so purchase history is similar.

As I’m buying a non-in demand watch like a Breitling, I’d of course like to buy it from the AD that gives me the best chance at more Rolex offerings and both Mayors and Tourneau/Bucherer can easily get a Breitling Aerospace for me.

So who is best to buy it from for purchase history purposes, keeping in mind I’d like the best benefit towards Rolex? Mayors or Tourneau/Bucherer?

That’s a great idea but I’ve never done that before- what’s the best way to approach that conversation? Say “I’d like to buy XXXX Breitling, but also would like a XXXX Rolex?”

I vote mayors. My AD is amazing and takes care of their loyal clients. A group of us shop at same Mayors and each of us has gotten what we wanted. My non Rolex purchases are 2:1 since my spouse buys random jewelry and non Rolex watches.

I guess it depends on what Rolex you want next?

If this is the Tourneau in Bal Harbor I think that may be a better bet..

Don't speculate, go in and have the conversation with each and see what they tell you. I would have the next Rolex picked out when I go in and also be prepared to buy should they offer you one. Good luck and let us know what they say.

No offense, but the Breitling Aerospace makes my eyes sore.

You must really want another Rolex bad!

You’re looking at an older generation model from a decade ago, not a recent design. The Aerospace is the ultimate tool watch.
