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.
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

Haha I'm with THG actually. For my sub date, SA asked the same. Told me stock is here, if I'm keen then she will ask her manager. Within 1h of replying, she say ok approved le. Was the same for my other purchases..

this time round she said bat will come soon, ask if I'm keen. Then I actually asked for pepsi, but she said hard, sprite is ok. So I said ok sprite then, that's why need to rewait again.. my journey so far nothing amazing, just lucky to meet nice SA

Actually what is mentioned is quite common with most of my friends SA.

Assuming you have hit the requirement for allocation (eg Hublot/FM/ 2 DJ etc etc) They will than ask you what you want. Eg. you want Pepsi They will register your interest.... than sometimes an easier model come along....eg they receive a few Batman, the manager will ask the SA to nominate the client, the SA can than call the clients they like to ask them to take up Batman instead of the Pepsi or Sprite. The client confirm they put up for allocation

I don't think what you meant was that you have no purchase history the SA just call and offer....unless of course you VIP lah than different story

My SA however, has usually only offered what I wanted. But there was once I ask for the Blue face Sky Dweller, they called and ask if I was interested in the white face to put up for allocation and I accepted the white face lor

eh JaxxHao bro, given what @watchlouver99 mentioned, did you purchased those house brands prior being offered Batman or Sprite?

It’s common practice, except the 1 hour approval with exco. That’s quite something

Wow. Whatever u guys commented really doesn't link to how it works. Any watch received by the designated AD is known to the management at Tong building way ahead. Manager can recommend but still need the management to approve before the allocation. SA in AD can only recommend to the branch manager but can't allocate indirectly to their clients, whom the branch manager will proceed further to vett through the client profile before sending up for the management decision. Anyone disagree

 

[lepakonecorner]

Regarding the 1hr approval, I think the Ferraris wheel at MBS smaller than the push cart wheel

By the way any gurus here can advise me if RM store here in Singapore have contact to call in? Need enquire on some models. I had send email from the main site but no reply for weeks.

Yes, you have described perfectly how it works. The branch manager will proceed to vet through the client profile before management decision.
