I went into WoS, flagship Branch, Regent Street London, enquiring about 5167A, cost about £20K. I have a significant spend history of circa £100k, with my local WoS. The Patek SA, was rude, condescending , supercillious, and told me I had to buy a non-sports model first, and she didn't care for my spend history at their sister branch. She showed me the watches I could buy TODAY " AS THEY MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE TOMORROW" To get my name on the list for a sports model. They were all between 60k and 90k, but I had to buy today, to get on the list. Christ, I was thinking, spend 80 k to have a chance of buying a 20k watch. The SA was out of their mind. They have lost the plot. I could go grey, and still have change!
Isn't it just easier to pay a premium in the secondary market? You won't lose tons of money on watches you do not want and you get the sports model you do right away?
Been at this for long. Don’t play the ad game if you’re not willing to Simp or aren’t a literal billionaire. Go grey. Pay 15-20% extra. Get your watch.
when I have visited the PP they told me that I have to buy 3 models and after they will place me on the wishlist which mean as you said any guarantee… it can sound strange but for me its better to know “the conditions” than virtualy wait and wait and never will come :)) and its on everybody if he paid premium for sport model or will start a journey with the brand…
You are actually advising us to basically kiss their ass if we want to buy a watch from them. I'll pass thanks, I'd rather do without and keep my pride.
Basically, kiss their ass and hope they give you what you want. Lol, buy something else to be allowed to buy what you want? No thanks. Grey market, here I come

Build relationship by spending money lol. This game is dumb
It's not dumb
People who are wealthy have done it many times in their life
Do you know what spending money on watches tells the gatekeepers? You like watches. Of course your not gonna re sell

agree
Consider yourself trolled, you can't even buy a Rolex, I'll show you how to buy a patek that you'll never be able to get
I am here waiting to graduate from seiko to
Invicta
@@JC-db4ihpeople don't buy invicta
I started with Seiko. Nothing wrong with them.
Buy a ladies piece, ideally a grand complication eg 7140g and you’ll get whatever you want.

These watch brands are ridiculous.
It ain't easy being cheesy
Fortunately, I don't like any Patek models.
Who cares! Play the revenue maker!
