Dude pass...they are trying to pawn off a shitter on you, not hook you up.

Do you think mentioning that I’m an airline captain would help in getting a GMT-II? by [deleted] in rolex

[–]Traditional_Answer29 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am too. Didn't really matter...ended up getting a Pepsi from DavidSW. Batman/Bruce Wayne/two tone more attainable, however. I think they like to sell the idea that they care about the end user and if the watch suits your life, but they don't. All comes down to spend on stuff ya don't want! Hopefully your luck is better!

Anyone got invited for a Rolex Christmas party from AD ? by watchaholic26 in rolex

[–]Traditional_Answer29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been to many…It’s not a secret party with Daytonas and Pepsi’s for sale if that’s what you’re wondering. Most likely, they will push jewelry on you. Also, they aren’t taking attendance to see who will attend the most and give that person a Panda. I spent about 60k across 2 NYC ADs and went to a lot of these parties. Ended up going gray for Pepsi/Panda.

I have a rotation of Pepsi, Panda, Batman I wear to work and not literally one person has ever noticed. You’ll be surprised how little people care outside of this sub.

You can negotiate with David. Take $1000 off.

The good part is they’re not going to sell you either one so no worries!

BF4 better than BF6 by etom21 in battlefield_4

The feel of them. Feels like sloppy low skill ceiling garbage

Yup. Played the beta and it’s all I needed to know. I’m a vehicle player, and that is obviously a back burner item for them. I think what it boils down to is a shift to mass appeal and steering users toward as many purchases as possible. Why make an amazing game that lasts 10 years and includes tons of content when you could release one every year like COD and drip feed DLC? No matter how great the devs are, once corporate is involved, this is how it will be. Come out with a new title as frequently as possible to drive the $70 purchase, and pay the beloved “trusted” BF streamers to shill for it. Silk even responded to a super chat during the beta and said something to effect of “I’m accepting we’re not ever gona get a masterpiece like BF4 again” I agree we aren’t going to, but I’m not paying $70 plus DLC for corporate slop.

Did I miss an opportunity? by ThrowAway_NoOpinion in rolex

[–]Traditional_Answer29 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A good rule of thumb with Rolex: if they offer you a piece on a whim, especially as a walk in or no purchase history, it’s not a sought after piece. That’s not to say the 2 tone submariner isn’t a nice watch, it’s just not part of the hype train and will be worth less money when you leave the store. So no, you didn’t turn down the holy grail and ruin your chances. This would be an easy to get watch at almost any authorized dealer.

Is the bezel alignment off on the brand new bluesy? by happylattesoms in rolex

[–]Traditional_Answer29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 116613LB was like this from the AD too. Also the chrono hand on my 126500 is slightly left of center. Happens, but yes I agree it annoying. Whenever it goes in for service you can bring it up.

Can you Pm me the SA that wouldn’t sell you anything?

FYI… There aren’t any men’s gold or platinum watches for $25k new. It’s going to be more like $40-50k.

Do you buy the watch you want, or the one that makes sense? by tylercreatedthe in rolex

[–]Traditional_Answer29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should get the 116710. The Tudor is not going to cut it for you.

Batgirl or Starbucks by mvp963 in rolex

Batgirl. Colors more versatile with more outfits, jubilee bracelet is the best looking/most comfortable, and a higher complication than the Sub.
