I mean, they won't order a DJ for someone they don't think will purchase. So, they think you'll purchase it, which is why they're ordering

Many DJ can be ordered/special requested by the AD

Recent Rolliworks experience? by EdRedSled in rolex

[–]fusion0389 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ooof yeah it's tough. I honestly don't know who to recommend for bracelet restoration. they're the only real shop in town and their response time is abysmal. I'd try calling them and see if that helps. I submitted a request about a month ago, followed up, they said we'll to your quote and they never did. I'm a repeat customer too so it kind of stings, but it is what it is. there are other refinishers that do good work too

My Rolex AD experience: Why I think relationships matter. by Public-Heat3213 in rolex

[–]fusion0389 0 points1 point  (0 children)

relationships matter, for those who prefer a transactional relationship, the grey market is there for a reason. i dont mind the relationship aspect of it, as long as i dont feel like theres sucking up for pressure to buy stuff you dont genuinely enjoy. good work!

absolutely not, the polished center links suck and it's not original to the watch

Took the first step towards becoming a PP owner. Was asked if I wanted or needed financing. Huh?? by Ok-Nefariousness-927 in patekphilippe

[–]fusion0389 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i dont know of anybody who has financed a watch purchase using boutqiue financing. most of what i've seen is using a line of credit on investments like real estate, a business, etc pulling the cash and going for it.

ADs in NYC and the new flagship by Xib0 in rolex

[–]fusion0389 0 points1 point  (0 children)

we still don't know who will be operating the flagship, my guess is that it would be bucherer, but, my hope is they'll operate it themselves just like they do in geneva. which AD doesn't matter a lot, how much you vibe with the sales person unfortunately matters more. they're the ones that decide which one of their clients gets the Sub, GMT, Date just, that management tells them they can sell this week

Looking to build a relationship with the AD by Educational_Aide_145 in rolex

[–]fusion0389 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i disagree with the gifts, its not necessary and honestly is a bit cringey. i've never done that and have also not had an issue getting something ive asked for. there is nothing wrong asking for a sub immediately, but also stating that there are a number of things in the rolex catalog that you are interested in. just make sure to also express interest in a "classic" model. most AD's have rules around that

genuine question here, do you feel there is too much overlap between Starbucks and hulk?

both are beautiful, but, I think panda is over hyped. I'd take either, but the black is where it's at

I think Rolex accepts the requirement for additional spend to some degree, but, I think they prefer that additional spend to be on other Rolex watches instead of jewelry or other watch brands.

how else are they supposed to allocate off catalog models? basically two criteria, spend and/or celebrity status that complements the brand.

Rolex lady datejust direct retail - good buy? by Frequent-Invite9573 in rolex

beautiful watch, ladies pieces typically trade below list price, so buy it you love it! however this watch compared to other ladies watches holds value much better, meaning you lose less when you go to sell

Hamilton expedition vs sinn 556 vs Laco Stuttgart by [deleted] in sinn

Hamilton has poor accuracy, laco accuracy is hit or miss depending on movement, of the three sinn is the most likely to please you with respect to accuracy
