I will not comment whether that iwc
Is a nice watch or not.. but I have doubts in this new policy which you need to buy a pre-determined watch. (Your AD choose for you?!) What the..
This doesnt make sense.
Some AD do require you to buy a first R (at a price) to get a second R. But you get to choose the first R.
I knew this day will come to me...
I've heard this before, but did not think that eventually it will happen in my AD. So, yesterday I was walking around in Mall, and stopped by my AD to put my name on waitlist for Sub 114060. I am not new customer, have been buying several watches from the...
I think this AD is just trying to see how far he can push it, similarly to what he's probably been doing successfully for the last several years.
To be quite frank, for as long as people don't report these ADs and get their licensed revoked, this practice is going to continue (and escalate) forever, at the expenses of real collectors ;-)

yes I was shocked to hear that they choose the watch for me
I have to buy a watch that I don't like. This is really an ugly scheme
They are creating a false market.
This will not end well, we all have many great choices.
This is total B/S&$t.
Do not participate in such a blatant market manipulation and do not buy from these ADs. Watches are a luxury product. They should be enticing US to buy it rather than us trying to coax THEM to sell. I refuse to participate in this. My $0.02
A straight premium or even a no-sale, I can understand...
But make me buy a watch selected by the AD??? For some reason I find that way more offensive, and that AD could just go F himself. There’s no luxury product on earth I’d want enough to become a sycophant beggar and a slave to the seller. John
Yes. Actually I was quite angry , but
Then I think "why should angry?" There are many other brands with excellent value for money and much more interesting than a sub. Besides, I don't want to ruin my friendship with The salesperson. They just do what their boss say. So I just smile and said ...
Unfortunately not here. This AD is the single AD for rolex.
The only other options is from grey dealer or fly too singapore
Can't agree more.
Next month I will go to Bangkok, and most likely will come home with a reverso Will post pictures when it happen.
Yay...thanks for reminding me
Last month went to Shanghai, Beijing and Hong Kong...no sport rolex whatever...except air king and milgauss
This is not new
I experienced it first at grey dealers. They have a hot watch that was priced reasonably, but the caveat is I have to buy some other watches of theirs from a prevetted selection. And also with some retail brands like Hermes, where you need to buy a certai...
Ha ha ha...actually that portofino is not an ugly watch
I am sorry if I wrongly expressed my feelings. But the design is not my taste. IWC do best in Pilots and Portuguese. I am pretty sure, however, the AD will choose the least popular models for this policy. So good for them. They also told me, even with thi...
I would suggest to say goodbuy to the AD 🙋🏻♂️
Imho this is BS . I will never pay a premium also for a sports watch like the big R . Please look arround and see if there is a othere watch that you like for a far price without al this nonsense
Absolutely right. At least for the moment I will not buy from this AD
For example, JLC Reverso classic medium size they give me price USD 6100 after discount. I just called an AD at Bangkok airport, they will sell to me USD 5400....so much for a "good relationship" with my AD.
One more collector Licking wounds. It does hurt after spending a gud chunk of your dough at these dealers and then one day finding the relationship was never there. Diggin their own grave...
...alienating loyal enthusiast or is it a clever mkt/sales strategy only time will tell. Meanwhile the world moves on. ...
My pt is these are the new incremental very brand-conscious consumers. These sports models get swooped fast and their posses getting the lesser priced brands...iced or not!
They cud careless about the 8k or 18k added to the tab and when they order its not 1 piece
A certain amount of success in the rap game is the demonstration of ostentatious wealth
Nothing says “I’m a Boss” like a blinged out Patek. But while the taste level may be questionable to many, the only difference is it’s done more overtly. A watch as a status symbol and indicator of one’s importance is no different here than it is for the ...
I actually tend to agree on the points both of you are making, as in general it's good if a brand like Patek expands its customer base, even when this may bring to uncharted territory...
I would have no big issue with these rappers or anybody else "showing off" their money or success, if obtained by honest means (in the sense that, right or wrong that this may be, it would remain their choice)... But what I found ridiculous here is that t...
Redcoral, I've seen many fellow purists customize their timepieces...
I've seen them swap dials; I've seen them engrave and initial; I've seen them swap out for aftermarket straps; I've seen DLC coating. In my opinion, adding diamonds (dial, case, bracelet) is just another level of customization to meet someone's personal t...
