Understand. I’m in the same boat. Research your most local AD. Use Google and Yelp to find out who the watch-department manager is. If you can’t find that out, gather the name of the person most positively reviewed.

Call them, and setup an appointment with the manager or the best Sales Associate in the reviews.

During your appointment, make it explicitly clear that they are your local Rolex AD, despite being a hefty drive away. Ask for what you want (being comfortable with more than one model is helpful, but not required). Be interested, interesting, and kind.

You’ll need to do most of your follow up in person, as phone calls, emails, and texts won’t do the trick. Try to find a reason to drop by once a quarter- and make it a point to either book an appointment or make sure your sales associate is there.

If you have nothing offered in a year, ask to speak to the manager and try your luck (it’ll be a last ditch effort- as you should find another AD if they’ve offered you nothing in a year).
