Yep my first watch with the AD. no la. Not going to use milestone as an excuse. Just want to check if buying a sub requires a certain amount of spending before I can get it. Seems like I don't have any chance to own a sub :(.

Yes it does but if you're happy with a no-date sub or a black sub it is significantly easier. couple good datejusts could get you there.

I'm actually looking for black date sub. I remembered few years ago the price is around 10k+? Now when I look at carousell the price is rather crazy. I saw some of the retail display the suggested retail price around 11k?

The watch world is entirely different from few years ago. A lot of things are trading over retail price, and only going higher.

Yes, the requirements has gone higher this year. Previously maybe in 2019-2020, you can be allocated a Submariner if you had just bought a stainless steel Datejust. But now, no. You might have to get at least a Datejust plus one other brand to be considered for an allocation for the submariner. And I can say that even this depends on the sales person at the AD you are with.

haha, give chance la bro, actually depends on the SA... just bring your preg wife go to AD to see see and show face. then mentioned the ETD of the baby and which watch u "hoping" to get.

The rest is up to the AD to reward you liao.

even if you bring a family member in icu over also no use. so what you bring ur pregnant wife there and req for daytona? lol.. ADs heard too many stories.. some can even tell the AD their father is dying, hope to get him a daytona before he die.. lol

I saw one guy who had to thank Max and the entire KHH boutique 3 times for a Deepsea JC he was allocated for. First time on the day he collected the watch. Second time was 2 weeks later where he thank them again out of the blue. Then on Sunday a 3rd time where he thank them yet again on their 51st Anniversary celebrations. It’s just amazing

AD selling to flippers who buy a lot of watches. With crazy demands, these ppl flip at easy 20-50% profit.

crazy? Sure, but getting from AD is super hard when your record is clean and flippers maybe buying one a week or month.

Happened to be at MBS not too long ago and popped by the rolex boutique there to have a look. Needless to say no sports models in sight but what surprised me was even datejusts are totally gone, not a single datejust 41 on display, not even two-tone ones and for datejust 36 there were only 2 two-tones on display. Had a chat with the SA and i said I'm really surprised that even the datejusts are being wiped out, she said it's a crazy world we live in now :s13:
