Thank you brah. I actually own 30+ pieces, sadly. lol. These are just the bigger names.

I would love a Vacheron Overseas. But I also want a nice moon complication from JLC or Moser.

I could see you purchasing one of these for $8-9k and it having a nice position in your collection

Honest answer? I added the Daytona to my list on April 29 by text. Told my SA that I know we'd talked about a lot of models, but that I wanted to focus in on either the blue Skydweller, the Kermit, or a Daytona next. Wife asked her about getting me something special before my bday shortly after, and the Daytona materialized. So about a five week wait.

Bought my DJ41 and SD43 from them last year. Also got my Cartier and my wife's earrings from her. But overall not a massive spend.

Rumor is that Rolex has told AD's to focus on younger professionals who are going to be 40 year clients instead of the whale guys nearing retirement. Maybe I got lucky. Who knows.

Not bad. I never trust anything they say about rumors, how things work, etc. etc. I literally had a SA at the shop in upstate NY that got me my AK effectively play dumb about the new model of the AK, then all of a sudden was balls deep on knowledge about it 5 mins after realizing i wasnt BS'ing.

Why im ok paying a little bit of a "surcharge" to not have to play games with an AD or spend stupid amounts of money just to be afforded the potential opportunity to buy something at MSRP.

Well for the Daytona it's not a minor surcharge. It's a $14k watch that sells for $38k on the secondary market right now. lol

The Rolex AD game is crazy to me as well. If you can get a $35k+ watch for $15k then that is super nice and basically a free $20k to whoever is offered the watch… but us average brahs will never receive offers like that. I can't even receive an offer to buy a DJ41 with fluted bezel and jubilee bracelet. Just zero point for a brah like me trying to play the AD game, it only makes sense to pay the secondhand markup because that is my least expensive way to acquire a good Rolex. But mirin hard Catbrah at literally being handed $20k in cash by the AD.

If Catbrah frequents his AD wearing the watches he has already bought, then they probably recognize him as being a collector rather than a flipper…perhaps helps with getting him more exclusive pieces.

My real problem is i dont have an AD within <45 mins from my house, and thats without traffic. In upstate NY i literally could ride my bike to the AD if i wanted. And it was a 5 min ride.

True. But even that, you did spend how much and got the opportunity to buy that 14k watch at 14k?

Although, i could just go to the one AD within driving distance and just start buying whatever they offered. LOL.

My problem is as far as rolex is concerned, i really only dug the AK and the BLNR. The rest is just kinda meh ok.


Also had an annoying history with this whole process.

- Chatted up AD for a couple of months on a bi weekly or so basis in upstate NY
- Get offered AK in november and chat more about what i would like
- SA who sold it to me quits in Feb and moves to western NY
- I get offered job back down in VA
- Go to AD down there, start chatting and go in several times.
- Purchase Speedy from said AD
- Go in a few times after, then one of the times i notice all the Rolex stuff is gone and chat with the SA i know for about 2 hours about that whole sitch

So basically it's all moot right now.

I promise if you go to any Rolex AD, even if you're wearing a platinum daydate, they won't let you buy anything worth buying unless you have a purchase history with them (srs)

I promise they will offer you a DJ36 with smooth bezel and diamond hour indices or some chit

Ty mane. To be honest I just got lucky and clicked with this specific sales associate and the store manager. I got zero traction at the first Rolex dealer I tried last year.

There's a lot less dick swinging than I expected involved. I know they know I'm not rich. I'm sure there are hundreds of people on their lists who make more money than me. But I just try to be genuine, easy to work with, and appreciative.

Yep, there's a lot of this. I make a point to wear my prior purchases in for this very reason.

I asked for the white dial specifically. I'm pretty sure the only reason I don't have a Skydweller yet is because I told her I only want blue in that dial.

Anyone think Omega speedmaster prices will go up? I'm thinking about buying from grey market (PrestigeTime) to save $1k but that watch seems like it would be better to buy from an AD due to it's complexity.

Call topper. They are an AD but will discount about 20% on omega. But only by phone

Really? I don't need any purchase history with them, and don't have to smooth talk?

Is your advice based on a recent discount or was this a year or two ago, because recently I went to an AD and they flat out told me they don't do discounts on luxury brands. I had just asked for 15% off or so.

I promise they will offer you a DJ36 with smooth bezel and diamond hour indices or some chit
Yup. And thats what sucks about my current sitch.

However, i did get my AK with no purchase history. Took 3-4 months i believe, but i got it.

I can't even receive an offer to buy a DJ41 with fluted bezel and jubilee bracelet. Just zero point for a brah like me trying to play the AD game, it only makes sense to pay the secondhand markup because that is my least expensive way to acquire a good Rolex. But mirin hard Catbrah at literally being handed $20k in cash by the AD.
One option is to be friends with a good customer (assuming you know one) who can make an intro that helps you out. I have been offered things my first time in a store just because I went along with friends who had track records of buying things over the years.

Is your advice based on a recent discount or was this a year or two ago, because recently I went to an AD and they flat out told me they don't do discounts on luxury brands. I had just asked for 15% off or so.
The AD i got my speedy from didnt do discounts on a speedy itself, but the SA pretty much flat out told me the price was workable and hinted around 15-20%.

Interesting. I spoke to an AD here in Ohio and they told me the speedy price is actually going up by $400 this year. Not sure if that applies to all Omega models but that's a 5% increase on the model I want. I'm getting a decent discount on the current price so I think I will bite. Oh and the cool part is, no sales tax!

I've done a lot of digging to see which version is ideal for me (sapphire vs hesalite) and I just like the bracelet more on the sapphire, and also the fact that sapphire is used. Maybe when I go in person I may change my mind as I don't want this watch to be too flashy, hope that's not the case.

The milky ring around the sapphire version hopefully isn't too noticeable as well.

Nice article here on the differences if anyone is interested:
