I understand that if you want to get a Nautilus from THG its always a grand Complication before the allocation, so you would most likely need to spend $150,000 before a 5726 cam be allocated
Not sure if this is available at the AD, but before I commit to ask for one from my SA, I was thinking is this better or a Lange 1 instead?
Even that’s quite unusual. Maybe the style of the SA is really different. For the SA to be able to say that he/she can offer a Batman to the customer, normally he would be quite sure it’s the watch that the client wants and almost going ahead to submit ie meaning already discussed with the client previously its the next watch that the client wants an allocation for. Or else it really is quite a waste of time to check and then all of a sudden the client doesn’t want the watch. Have a feeling this SA is either inexperienced or maybe desperate to clock some sales. Or the client keep changing mind.
Sorry, a bit of scepticism here cos also been hearing clients that are rather fickle minded too.
Way more than 150k spending required to get allocation of 5726.
Bro, the previous time I fulfilled enough to ask for Sprite or Batman too. But SA will still ask me to specify which model I want before the “offer”. Of course maybe it is not yet an offer but at discussion stage? Then I dunno liao. Cos offer to me is actually a step towards allocation submission. and also can’t help feeling sceptical because manager doesn’t approve sports model allocation. Forgive me la, maybe I really bad this time to doubt others.
Never know AD got offer one
For ladies PM nautilus also same? Or easier?
Actually don’t bother..probably some details left out. It’s too tedious to type whole story here too.. sometimes I also ponder why I even bother to reply/give my input
later pple doubt our input.. but 2 of us know.. cos we have same SA lol..You got me wrong buddy. What I meant for the obvious there is no discount for Rolex across all range in AD as of now. Like as you mentioned example getting a deepsea still need me to do a bundling especially Tudor in a multi AD will not get me (exclude others) far in future watch allocation. Unless u referring kangtao in WP or Kxx which put you in the boss good referral book when put an advantage to your future allocation
No more lange at AD
250k and then Q list.
Thanks for your advice. Ok, maybe it’s an occupational thing. I like to be very precise and exact on how I write. So to me, I see “offer” and “submit for approval”, I form certain conclusions. Maybe the person who wrote that is simply just describing a discussion he had with the SA.Actually don’t bother..probably some details left out. It’s too tedious to type whole story here too.. sometimes I also ponder why I even bother to reply/give my input
In general ladies Nautilus is easier. For the men’s Nautilus, 5811 is the easiest (even though the required spending history is still above 150k) followed by 5712 and 5726
Lange is not sold at AD anymore. Hard to say which is better. Depends on your targets. If you dun intend getting anything else and just want a good dress watch, Lange is to me more beautiful than most Patek Complications. But if you want to build on to something else for Patek, then obviously the 5205G might be a better choice.
No need to beg AD if you want a Lange because not with AD but at least for Lange not need to "Q" if you really internested in 1
Actually different ADs work differently. Like my Rolex AD is simliar to yours, will only ask you or follow up with you on the models you have asked for. Won't offer you anything you never ask for. But on the contrary most of my friends are quite the opposite, their ADs will tend to offer an easier alternative......eg. they ask for pepsi or Sprite, they will try to offer the batman/ root beer first (assuming you have reach the requirements) So there isn't a one size fit all for all ADsEven that’s quite unusual. Maybe the style of the SA is really different. For the SA to be able to say that he/she can offer a Batman to the customer, normally he would be quite sure it’s the watch that the client wants and almost going ahead to submit ie meaning already discussed with the client previously its the next watch that the client wants an allocation for.

It’s not a DJ watch or a Daydate to clock mileage where SA usually have to check with the customer whether he want it because of the numerous configuration available. Sports allocation really need to be sure and discussed beforehand whether the client wants it before offering it.
Sometimes I take what’s discussed on cyberspace with a pinch of salt as people can really share amazing things such as sports models being their first purchase with AD etc.
And hor, one more thing, “SA says can submit to manager for allocation”. I don’t think the manager can decide on a Batman allocation. Unless it’s the likes of Explorer 1, sports like Batman allocation all need to go exco for allocation approval. Even boutique manager has to do so. Don’t say Batman, even Black Sub Date need go exco for allocation approval
