I had a similar dilemma and passed. But regret it now for different reasons
Oct 27, 2020,08:16 AM
When it first came out, an AD offered me a root beer GMT, which is not my taste and I passed. A year later, they called and offered me a SS Pepsi GMT (jubilee bracelet). Again, I passed. I told her that I was extremely grateful for the offer, but it was not a watch I was interested in. Surely she must have clients that would enjoy the watch much more than I would. I have not heard from them since (despite being on a waitlist for others that I do want). I suspect I may have soured my standing with this AD as a result. If so, I do regret not buying and flipping if just to maintain my standing with them. But, alas, that is not my style. I would rather think those watches went to someone that will truly enjoy them.

Especially in Paris. I bet all the tourists have got to them anyways. Well... maybe not during Cornavirus. But generally visits to Rolex stores in major cities are a waste of time.
I did it ones

The lady do not have any emotions when i ask to show me a Millgaus. Turning and went to IWC, the people were interested and explained how the watches made and work.
This made me think

of my Deepsea purchase a few months back. I went to a local jeweler who is an AD for IWC and Rolex. I had pretty much given up on looking for items with Rolex ADs just because it seemed like a waste well I was in a local shop here looking for a particular...

Thanks for the kind words.

I hope I am wrong and they come through on the other piece I am waiting for. If not, there are always other dealers and other watches.
Depends on the end game perhaps. ADs can get weird.

When the Skydweller was released I got offered the blue one by an AD that I had only done a little business with. I was concerned about the size for a watch with a fluted bezel. I passed. About a year later got treated to "I offered you a blue Skydweller ...
May have a solution...

If i want a reference, i want that reference. Buying above retail is not a problem if i want a watch so badly. Never did this, but for a 116010LV it wil be my first time. I said to a member i send him a PM when i’ve bought my first Hublot, so it is under ...

Personably I don’t care about what others peoples do or think (except my family and friends). So if some have a strange idea like buying a watch they don’t like, I don’t care. It’s just not my way of being. Watches are for me things that I like to discove...
