Actually, why buy from retail while resellers are selling abit above premium these days for rolex? Can get a Sub for 51k vs 47k for retail. Get treated like crap by the AD and yet need tobuy pieces we don't want...

Where you at?

Just wanna share my Rolex buying experience. I have zero purchase history, I walked in Rolex ad at my place in feb this year, enquire a datejust 126300 blue dial, the SA said can put me on waiting list and I did. To my surprised they messaged me in May and told me that the watch is available to collect, exactly 3 mths of waiting only, cos I didn’t expect I can get it so soon.

After collected the watch, I put my name on the waiting list for batgirl, and this time around I don’t have high hopes on acquiring it soon or even get a call. But again to my surprised(this time a big surprised), they messaged me yesterday asking whether I would like to take batman as they received this variant instead of batgirl. I’m more than happy they allocated the watch for me even it’s not my preferred bracelet, so I accepted their offer. This time around also waited for exactly 3 mths only.

Maybe I’m the lucky one to get 2 watches in only 6 mths with zero purchase history before.
