Air King Question

 
 By: Todd B. : February 20th, 2024-14:24
Was at an AD over the weekend in Vegas and the lady that assisted me seemed pretty confident that I would get a call to buy a Air King if I got on the list which I did. Can anyone tell me how long they waited to get an Air King? I appreciate it. Thanks

Things are definitely loosen up. In the last month, my A.D. called me and offered me a solid, gold submariner, the newest generation of the sky dweller in white gold and oyster flex in the new GMT two tone.

So which one(s) did you end up getting?

And the winner is?

You have to get us into your phonebook, and when they call...

Good suggestion! ;)

I would guess that all depends

on the timing of when the AD receives one from Rolex
and how many people are on the list ahead of you.

Good point.

Well I started the conversation with, "I'm looking for a steel Sky Dweller" and was told that wasn't going to happen. I mentioned that I would also like an Air King and was told that was very possible so that got me excited. Of course, I've seen several Air Kings and Sky Dwellers used but can't see paying more used for something that I can possibly get new.

I wouldn’t play that game…

wait for your pitch…inventory is increasing you’re just playing into their hands when you buy things that you don’t necessarily want with a vague promise of what you might be able to get.

I got it immediately.

Of course you will get the call….

They have it in the back or somewhere in the company, just like to make us feel “special”.

Zero wait time. We're in a new era now

or back to normal.

Up until 2015-2016, the game wasn't availability but pricing. Meaning would you pay MSRP or get a % discount. 
but, at not a single point a steel Daytona was available. 

We're going back to these good times, its a BUYERS market. All dealers thrive for your money. They will fake it, they will play games, but they are dying for you to buy the watch. All TT models, most of precious metal, and less "hyped" steel watches, are all available. Just ask. 

+1. As expected. And even some sought after steel models will be more and more available...

This is the time to say "NO" like Tony did. That should teach them a lesson but not enough people will do it.

Absolutely!

Hi Todd

Last year I got my AK after a year wait, which was half the time the dealer originally estimated. So if things are improving a short wait time would make sense
