Called some Rolex ADs already
First, so I want to call this new GMT reference the "Superman". What does everyone think? We already have the Batman and the Hulk so why don't we continue the comics theme. It really is a toy for us big boys.
Secondly, I tried to put my name down with a few Rolex ADs and as a guy who has never bought a new model from any Rolex ADs, I know it'll be a Hail Mary pass.
#1 AD: me: Hi, are you taking pre-orders/names for the new Rolex GMT stainless steel model?
AD rep: No we're not.
me: Okay, thanks. Bye.
#2 AD: me: Hi, are you taking pre-orders/names for the new Rolex GMT stainless steel model?
AD rep: Sure, give me your name and phone number.
me: Cool, is that it?
AD rep: Yes, we'll call you when the watch is available.
me: Okay, thanks. Bye.
#3 AD: me: Hi, are you taking pre-orders/names for the new Rolex GMT stainless steel model?
AD rep: No.
me: So, is it because you will only sell to current VIP customers?
AD rep: Yes. That's how loyalty works. You need to come in and buy from us first.
me: Sure, I understand, thanks. Bye.
So anyway, I've made a mental note of #3 AD and will never do any business with them because that's how my personal business works. Don't think they'll miss me though.
