Standard advice is to steer clear of discussions on race, politics and religion, when it comes to watches Rolex is a topic best avoided, too, just way too much non-sensical emotion on the subject.
Here's my experience with a Rolex AD. November, 2018, walked into an AD not far from where I live (1st time btw), told the SA I was interested in the Milgauss Z-Blue. He took my information and called me the following month. I still have the Milgauss. In July of 2022, walked back into the same AD, asked for the new Sub 124060. The SA, different from the 1st, took my information and called me in January of this year with the Sub.
Maybe I'm just lucky.
Your reply is pretty toxic. You can comment without insulting people. Do you speak to people like this offline?
Travel a bit each year with work…do my best to walk into every empty Rolex store and ask for a Sub.
I'm a much bigger fan of Audi's anyways!!
But going back to Rolex..... it's easy to get one, just jump on a plane to Tokyo and you'll find DOZENS of watch shops with everything you want, you'll just have to pay 2x the retail price which I refuse to.
The problem is that people who don't give 2 sh*TS about watches put themselves on the Rolex AD waiting list and then when they get the call, pick up the watch & walk straight over to resell it for profit!
I feel for all those beautiful pieces sitting in those cabinets without any love!!!
GMT anyone??
I walked into a Rolex AD not far from my house in August 2021, told the SA I was interested in a Milgauss. I was told, yes we have them but they are only for people celebrating milestones. Perhaps you'd like to order an OP first? No? Maybe we can interest you in a Tudor Black Bay Bronze then? Maybe a Frederique Constant?
No thanks. Not ever gonna get my money.

I’ve never tried to buy a Rolex - fine watches, but just not my style. I will say, however, that when I visited a Rolex Boutique at the King Of Prussia Mall outside of Philadelphia earlier this year, it was the textbook experience that people complain about. The only watches in the store were those on display - and not available for purchase - and the sales staff was displaying some serious attitude. I wasn’t impressed and have no interest in a return visit.

Too bad you weren't celebrating a milestone. But I think Rolex will be ok without your money.
Milestones: Got out of bed this morning. Didn’t kill anybody, yet. Gimme the damn watch.
yeah too bad ... and, um yeah, sure, whatever.
A real Bruce would ask for a SeaDweller ... Subs are for Sheila's!
