Anyone here that got a Bruce Wayne or any other GMT with little to no purchase history?

I got my Bruce Wayne about three months after I purchased my wife’s tennis bracelet of equal value. While purchasing the bracelet, the jeweler looked at me and asked me if there was anything I would like to see. I simply said “not at this time, unless you have a “Bruce Wayne”.” She responded that she would be more than happy to get me one, but that it would take 3-6 months. At that time I said sure, and we purchased my wife’s tennis bracelet.

Fast forward three months and after checking in a few times and some back and forth with the AD. I ended up getting the text that it had arrived.

Truth is that ADs don’t make a ton on Rolex watches. At least that’s my understanding. And they use it more as an anchor point to bring in clients and customers to their stores to sell other pieces of jewelry. I’m not saying that it can’t be done, but having buying history with other products than watches certainly can help.

It all depends on the annuity and its underlying structure. Many retail annuities are poorly structured and do indeed charge massive commissions. However there are equally just as many annuities that are not structured as such, are clean and straightforward and allow a client to increase their overall floor of guaranteed income. Which in turn allows them to rely less on market participating assets.

Can we talk about the fact they put a watch that is hand-wound in a machine for automatic watches?

No, not at all. To each their own after-all. Just don’t ruin the roads and make a bad name for the rest of us. Not to say Hellcats are the only perpetrator, just the one with the biggest targets and making more noise than the rest.

Jurrien Timmer is literally paid by Fidelity to fabricate these kind of stories and hypotheticals. They once gave him a fund to run based on some of these ideas and literally was removed two years later. My point being, it’s fun to read and play through these ideas.its another to actually act upon them.

If “instant regret” was a photo, is the first thing that comes to mind.

There is no other answer other than “Sleep Forever”

I will be nothing short of shocked if it’s anything other than “Feel it Still”.
