Tried on Daytona C today
Stopped by an AD that I had never visited. So nice. He said let me show you what just came in. Brought out a white dialed Daytona C. Really beautiful.

I'm sure others here would appreciate knowing where the AD is, if you didn't pull the trigger

It is spoken for. He has a long list. He said he gets calls from all over the USA every day. This is his 3rd to sell.

I really dislike when AD's let people try on watches that are already spoken for.

Of course. :)

Many people don't like it when AD's take liberties with expensive items that are already spoken for.

It's ok if you don't mind. This isn't a criticism against you, but one against your AD.

I'm glad my AD leaves my watches with full plastic and stickers, and in the coffin, until I pick up.

It didn't seem super small to me.
Another thing I liked was talking to an AD treated me like I was NOT a bother

nice one, I usually go to grey dealer and waste their time trying waitlist watches and don't end up buying them because I don't get guilty when they add crazy premium :D:D

Nice, I don't blame you for trying it on.... I did the same with a DBlue about 12 months ago when I was buying another watch.

When I bought my first Daytona from The Wynn AD, they showed me one that was already spoken for, but Wynn policy is "sorry, I can't let you try it on, it's sold!"

I truly respected them for that, compared to what I've seen other ADs allowing "tire-kickers" to do with watches sold, or not.
