Rolex - when your financial accomplishments can never be good enough. You weren't offered a watch. You were sold a watch, and you seem thankful for this. I'm not one to think much about power dynamics, but this one was completely backwards. It's just bizarre.
It is absolutely so nuts that this is a big deal. No slight against Isaiah, he's right. But this is just absolutely nuts, and we as consumers shouldn't really stand for it.
Just shows you these AD’s are lying. Those watches were clearly available to sell and they held them for the “right” people. That’s what the video should really be about. You also should’ve bought all 3. I can’t take this video seriously with an AP on one wrist and an Apple watch on the other.
Being an AD is the ultimately flipper. THATS why they don't like other flippers. They are holding a speculative position... of some sort. Albeit slightly different to the indies.
Looking at a number YT videos on this topic, AD's in small towns and not so busy airports seem more willing to do this for people who are leaving the country.
I can buy many rolex watches but the fact how stupid these dealers are I soon hope people stop buying rolex ! You can buy a better watch for less money!
I just purchased my first Rolex, the submariner, James Cameron. I was a first time buyer and I’ve never been in a Rolex store before. There were watch models available, but not the particular model that I was interested in. I waited about three months and got a call from my AD that the Watch I was interested was available. I made the appointment and went into the store and purchased the watch. I understand there have been inventory challenges and AD’s perhaps reserve watches for their regular customers, I have never heard of any friends, who had difficulty purchasing a Rolex from a local authorized dealer.
Are you sure she didn’t google you after you mentioned you have a channel with 10million subscribers? 😂 that’s why they sold you a Rolex after lying to you! Congratulations on your watch though. Not particularly on getting a Rolex, but getting a watch you wanted. If that’s what you actually wanted anyway. 😊
No no no!!!! The only way to get a watch is build a personal relationship with the manager if you’re lucky to talk to him. I waited 5 years but in 10 days I picking up my next submariner at an AD that I’ve never shopped before just I kept building a relationship and now we are good friends.
Basically after he left she looked him up and brought him back in they essentially do a background check in the customers to make sure they aren’t flippers
A couple years ago I walked into an AD in my local mall, and struck up a conversation with the sales person. He of course asked me some questions like what I do for a living. I told him I had some other brand watches at home and i'm a newer collector. I was in the market for a two-tone Submariner. 3 weeks later, he called me and he got one in and sold it to me. I never bought anything from him, and to this day, I have no idea why he chose to sell it to me. I guess I got lucky.
I tell to Rolex to go F themselves for their practices...as I human being graced by the creator I am worth much more than a bunch of small piece of metal assembled to tell me time...I give no F to what people think...if they reduce me to what kind of watch I wear then they are not in my inner cercle of friends/brothers...such bad treatment and denigrating attitude from rolex just makes me even more disgusted
love your story this proves it is possible to purchase a Rolex just gotta keep trying! I just made sure the AD remembered my name after I left and got called a month later to pick up my watch!
There are no money in the streets! Luxury is on the first thing smoking in a shit economy. Our current economy is as alive as Norman Bates' mother! Once this election is over the charade ends with it and the truth of our failed economy will be evident for all to see! Most unfortunately are reactionary and will not take preemptive steps to protect their money and instead wait for the media to tell them that the recession is here!
It's just sad to admit, but Rolex has a responsibility against resellers, speculators and all sort of watch "pimps" which finally ends pushing the brand to be super selective when selling their pieces. Freeing or flooding the market will surely not help genuine collectors nor the prices they must keep consistent to maintain a stable market value, so at the end we, watch aficionados, are left behind forced to follow some Machiavellic ways to get one... or walking on blue Crocks hoping for miracles 😁
Hope you feel special now
You shouldn't have to beg to spend your money. Rolex-fix your ADs.

Nice story!! 👍
You did not look homeless!!!! You look like A very fashion challenged white guy. The homeless story probably gets a chuckle out
Who cares
No watch for you ! - The Soup Nazi
Explorer 1 is the purest watch from rolex money can buy.

There is no waitlist😂😂😂

Yeah f that. Reptime for me 😂
Why do you enter a Rolex store, dressing like a homeless…so disrespectful

That was available because no one wants the explorer
Frig you and your stupid story

Can’t justify purchasing a Rolex.. the company is marketing marketing marketing.. people just fall for it like moths to a flame.
This is weird.
Wow what did you say? You could try a Rolex two tone Day Date on?? That is something very very special and news that we missed.
Basically after he left she looked him up and brought him back in they essentially do a background check in the customers to make sure they aren’t flippers

Yup! Grand Seiko it is!
You actually were dressed like a watch guy. They think the watch covers over bad fashion and bad hygiene.
Rolex doesn't make a two tone day date.
So if you have a 10mil youtube channel you just might be able to convice an AD to do their job.
I'll wait for cancer treatment , dentist appointment , but never a friggen watch .lol

I was in Hawaii once and got offered a 41mm 18k presidential… had no idea then …
Seems to me that you need to go see the nice lady again and take us with you
I am shocked you had trouble getting that watch. It is not a difficult watch to get.
I tell to Rolex to go F themselves for their practices...as I human being graced by the creator I am worth much more than a bunch of small piece of metal assembled to tell me time...I give no F to what people think...if they reduce me to what kind of watch I wear then they are not in my inner cercle of friends/brothers...such bad treatment and denigrating attitude from rolex just makes me even more disgusted
Royal Oak advert.
If your story wasn't so off-putting (not you, the AD), it would be infuriating. The utter arrogance of these moronic merchants.
meh ... ? is there even any good looking rolexes?
waste of time, all that work for an explorer 36 that no one wants. Just buy grey, makes no difference
love your story this proves it is possible to purchase a Rolex just gotta keep trying! I just made sure the AD remembered my name after I left and got called a month later to pick up my watch!
Two tone day date?
foolishness

Lemme get this straight you ask her if they have any explorer 2s for sale. She brings out an explorer 2 and you buy the explorer 1
Do you only have 2 videos?
Where is that AP shirt from?
As a 124270 owner myself, I hope your wife will love the Explorer as much as I do!
