When is the last time you received a glass of champagne?
In Gran Canaria and happened across a 116610LN. Coming from the UK I bought it without hesitation as it's not one I have and my friend will buy it if I change my mind. (I paid less than list as well!)
When I was filling in the warranty card I was offered a glass of champagne as a congratulations and thank you! I think the last time that happened to me was 6 years ago when Daytonas were not so hot. Has it happened to anyone else recently? Especially in the UK where I feel most of the time dealers think they're doing you a favour selling you or allowing you to buy one! |

I have not been offered a glass of champers in quite some time. Here in Ireland. However I was in Lanzarote last month and purchased a speedmaster moon watch. Got a glass of champagne, or should I say bottle ha, was great to chill and talk watches over the champers.

I haven’t seen this occur in awhile either. It’s a shame if they have done away with this altogether.

Can't remember the last time I was offered a drink at Rolex, last time I was in Omega I was offered cocktails, but they were bloody awful!

The Cartier boutique in nyc gave my wife and I champagne. Great experience and an awesome boutique (previously an early century mansion with four stories of interesting/unique jewlery pieces).

I was offered a bottle of water and coffee. But I also got a gift card to a fantastic steak house when I bought the SD43 this month.

I was offered Espresso, biscotti, and San Pellegrino during a recent visit at the Panerai boutique in Dallas...was there for a service only and don’t consider myself a Paneristi, but highly recommend Kendal for 1st class treatment.

When I bought my last Yacht-Master, the dealer tried to charge me for breathing the air! He said it's Rolex policy!

I'm amazed i just presumed all AD's would offer something nice even if you we're just looking
When my wife and I visit our local AD, we are always offered a Glass of Fizz failing the need to take one we are then given a choice of coffee instead.

My wife and I actually give the AD a bottle of something special (malt, etc) when we see them around 4 times year. Took them 3 litres of vodka for the staff and 1 litre of vintage rum for the gaffer last week.

I was offered a glass of bubbles when I picked up my DBlue in March this year.
They also removed the diver extension and sourced an extra link FOC. To top it all off they threw in some goodies. 83D396CA-A253-4AEC-8606-33EA897B24BB.jpeg
