How we were selected to be a part of this (I knew Ken and Danny were also on the list a few days before) is something that happened because of a unique relationship with an AD. It is not a matter of spending six or seven digits on dozens of watches; but developing a trustworthy, long term relationship. In my book; we all want to save some money when buying things, but we do forget that these companies support several families, pay rent, power, insurance, inventory....some choose to go the cheapest way and then get upset because they are not invited to private experiences or are on the last places on 'the list' (lets get this issue cleared out once and for all: the 'list' does not exist. Period. All sales staff have the names of their preferred customers, based on friendship, purchases, or whatever they feel like. When the coveted timepiece arrives, they select internally which salesman/woman gets to allocate it, and he/she calls WHOEVER he/she feels like. Your 'number on the list' means absolutely nothing. A good relationship will get you a watch in a short period of time). Participating in venues, attending our unique gatherings and developing a long lasting relationship will bring many smiles to your face; if you are willing to be patient...LONG lasting takes time. I do respect everyone's opinion on where to purchase, and I have great friends in both grey and AD marketplace; once again, I have nothing against any; but I know that invites like this happen for a reason. ...in the end (sales pitch, here) this is why you want to attend our gatherings. You have no idea who you can meet and the beautiful things that happen afterwards. To me, I am very grateful to have been called for this. Truly, unique. Amazing. Splendid. Something I will remember FOREVER. As some posted here, WOW. |

Well my TRF family; as I am finally back and catching up with other issues, I would just like to say THANK YOU to all of you for following this over the last few days. To Danny, Ken & Kris; we shared some great laughs, drinks, stories and food; thank you for your time. To Ken & Kris: you guys are amazing hosts. Thank you for your time, hospitality and friendship. Last, but not least, the biggest THANK YOU to the amazing staff at Deutsch Jewelers and Rolex; this has been unique. I am, truly, honored to have experienced The Rolex Way! I hope I can be a part of this again in the future.
TRF: many stories and information gathered during these days...far tooo much to post; but certainly something that will strike interesting conversations during our next meeting. See you soon!!!!!!!!!!! |

Wow, I missed all this until now. Very, very, very cool. I was surprised to not see pictures of you guys hanging out with Rory and Dustin when they didn't make the cut.
That is quite an experience. Thanks for sharing. I am guessing you will be off red meat for the next little while...
