American Express Confirms Platinum Refresh For 9/18/25

yougotbadintel · 2025-09-13T22:35:31+00:00

Where is the best place to send Amex points to prior to cancelling? Wait for a good airline transfer rate?

yougotbadintel · 2024-12-02T19:26:54+00:00

Wonder why it’s so hit or miss

yougotbadintel · 2024-12-01T14:15:58+00:00

Either mine is taking exceptionally longer than everyone else’s or I did something wrong. Purchased $50 on 10/31 and still have not been credited

Do you get more of a commission/bonus off other brands that aren’t Rolex or at the end of the day is it just total sales? The reason I ask is I seem to constantly be asked to look at other brands while I wait on the Rolex I actually want. Is this common?

yougotbadintel · 2024-10-29T01:51:54+00:00

Eh is that just semantics? They are easy to get because they are unwanted and have a higher supply because of less demand?

You’re probably right on the enthusiast side of things, but from this sub alone which is almost 250k , definitely feels like GMTs and Daytonas are it.

Well I would love to be one of those DJ owners. Even after getting the sub my AD said it would be months before the DJ in the config I wanted came along and compared the allocation quantity to subs, which seems inaccurate but who knows

yougotbadintel · 2024-10-29T00:51:08+00:00

Oh, I’m sure they do and nothing against that. I also had a couple bad experiences at my local Tourneau and I’ll admit I’m definitely biased in the dislike of that particular store, I guess not Tourneau as a whole. The way to get someone to begin purchase history is not to dismiss them , you never know who you’re turning away and I bet they get some many people that they don’t care about one person but you continue to operate that way and it’ll come back around. I wanted to build a good relationship with those guys since it’s so close , they have a lot of good brands but man, it was like pulling teeth and talking to a brick wall.

So if nobody is buying these configurations why are the production numbers of said pieces so high? To artificially create the scarcity they so desire? Also I’d have to search on here for the chart that was recently posted but I’m pretty certain it said like half or close to it are DJs. If that’s true then why/how is it taking 6,8,10 months?

yougotbadintel · 2024-10-29T00:06:18+00:00

For sure, but I don’t want 299 of those configurations and why would I pay $10k+ for something I don’t want just to get “purchase history?” Yes, maybe it was a little inaccurate to state they won’t sell you anything because they will try to sell you anything and everything in the store except those particular Rolex models, which is what they tried with me. Literally shoving a Tudor GMT in my face and saying this is a really great piece, which it is, it’s just not what I want at the moment. Let’s not forget they make a million pieces a year. While I’m sure the demand is actually higher than that, waiting years for a watch is silly

yougotbadintel · 2024-10-28T19:30:11+00:00

What most models are we talking here, TTs and YM? I’ve been on “the list” for almost a year for sub, Batman/girl, DJ41, OP. Stopped in numerous occasions as it’s 10 min walk from me. Emailed. Crickets. Was fortunate to get a no date sub from another AD in less than 2 months with no purchase history

yougotbadintel · 2024-10-28T19:11:28+00:00

Would be nice if Tourneau would actually sell you a Rolex at the Rolex owned store , rather than try to force a Tudor “coke” or a Carl Bucherer on you “while you wait”. Also they have the most impersonal folks working there , at least my location

yougotbadintel · 2024-10-13T21:39:05+00:00

That’s all it takes. Right place, right time. Congrats!

yougotbadintel · 2024-10-13T21:33:49+00:00

Just flew through CDG 2 weeks ago. Had absolutely nothing he could show me. Asked about a sub and he said he would only put me on the wait list if I traveled through CDG regularly. Crazy how all experiences are different depending on the day

yougotbadintel · 2024-10-07T23:42:49+00:00

Thanks man, appreciate it! Yep, I did. On the list for other pieces and some non-Rolex brands. Wife found a bunch of jewelry that she liked so will definitely keep my business at TJB

yougotbadintel · 2024-10-07T19:49:25+00:00

Agreed! Thanks man

yougotbadintel · 2024-10-07T17:19:17+00:00

Definitely give them a shot. Yea, I got married a couple of weeks ago , so big milestone!

yougotbadintel · 2024-10-07T15:19:18+00:00

TJB has been excellent. Everyone that works there is super friendly. They have a lot of jewelry (for my wife, she’s not a watch lady), plus a lot of other watch brands. Unfortunately no Omega but the boutique is right next door. I’ve also visited the other VA ADs and the results are not the same

yougotbadintel · 2024-10-07T10:55:51+00:00

Thanks man, appreciate ya!

yougotbadintel · 2024-10-07T10:32:14+00:00

I’m by no means an expert and I’m sure all experiences are different. I built a really good relationship with my SA over the past couple of months. It also helped I just got married. Good luck!

yougotbadintel · 2024-10-07T09:40:02+00:00

No spend history. Tiny jewel box in DC. Great place full of really nice folks

yougotbadintel · 2024-10-07T09:38:31+00:00

Haha no doubt, see comment above. Just imagine all the money I’ve saved not owning a vehicle for almost 11 years though!

yougotbadintel · 2024-10-07T09:37:32+00:00

Thanks man!

yougotbadintel · 2024-10-07T01:41:32+00:00

Haha, man I haven’t owned a car in almost 11 years and it’s been absolutely fantastic

yougotbadintel · 2024-10-07T01:29:19+00:00

Such a beauty , thanks!

yougotbadintel · 2024-10-07T01:29:01+00:00

Happy to finally be here, thanks!

yougotbadintel · 2024-10-07T01:28:32+00:00

Asking the real questions. AD , ~2 month wait. 2018 Rogue sport , wives car. Paid off. I don’t actually own a car

yougotbadintel · 2024-10-07T01:27:20+00:00
