EBB 25 Posted February 14, 2021 (edited) So something special happened today....not talking about Trumpster's acquittal. I managed to snag a Pepsi from my local AD. I didn't have a purchase history with the AD either. Edited February 14, 2021 by EBB 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought there was a long list for a Pepsi as it is one of if not the most desirable Rolex model at the moment, and past Rolex customers with a long history not even being able to even get one. It’s a stunning watch. Congrats! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bloody rained batgirls and subs. it’s good it means that rather than going to Mr Grey flipper buying 10 subs a year to flip it goes to someone that deserves it!

Jonnybaws 5,280 Posted February 14, 2021 Lovely, congrats!!! I found a Pepsi in a AD in Copenhagen but was told that I'd need to buy at least 40k worth of other watches.. no thanks, when I went to get my car I wasn't asked to buy another car before I could get this one, hope the arse falls out or the grey flipper market and those that want a Rolex (or any other brand) can get one and keep their vital organs intact! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Congrats @EBB Yeah if you were on the approved waiting list and have a fair bit of Rolex or AD history some were getting a call, but Joe Bloggs with no AD or Rolex history have no chance. I know of a mate of a mate that is a good Rolex customer who got a call for a new 126610LN and he wasn’t even on the list for one, so took up the offer and also got a Wimbledon at the same time. My mate was also after a new Sub so thought he’d try his luck since his mate got one and the Wimbledon, and was politely told to “bolt” as he has no previous history. He actually bought off the grey market a couple of weeks ago because he had no chance. Also know of three others, two of which are past Rolex customers and on the list for a new Sub, and they’ve been told they have little chance of getting one any time soon, and other mate was after a Batgirl and said he’d never had such a nice email basically telling him to fuck off 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, that appears to be the norm. If you’re not on the approved list, you need to spend a shit load on other watches or jewellery to get what you want at list price from that particular AD.

EBB 25 Posted February 14, 2021 I didn't have any purchase history, but my family did. Brother bought datejust 41, which still has a wait time. My father purchased a new 34 op for his wife. So by chance I decided to text the sales associate inquiring about no date sub and a batman, didn't even bother asking about a pepsi because I didn't think it was even possible, based on what read about wait times on the internet. I haven't known this AD that long either, however I am a local nearby, not sure if that plays a role? When I visited them, went to the same sales associate each time, chatted, came across as genuine and not entitled. fast forward from november 2020 to now, I Text them this past monday, they tell me we'll keep you in mind, and at that point i thought I stood no chance.. Surprisingly, I get a message asking what's my dream watch yesterday (saturday), I tell them pepsi or batman, go to the store and they basically offered me a batman or pepsi. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baz1872 27 Posted February 14, 2021 Never heard of it raining subs and Batgirls before. I was basically told a few weeks ago that as I had no previous spend history with them then I had a very timely wait for a sub as normally most ADs receive on average one a month and could sell them 100 times over! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jibuti 958 Posted February 14, 2021 Again, nice watch... Here I can buy any Rollie at local AD which is in stock... No waiting list. My fee is only 15% Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
