Congratulations, Justin! I’m very happy for you. Your video is spot on. I share a very similar story. I asked my AD for an OP 41 Black dial and one month later I received “the text.” Again, congratulations and keep on posting.
I have a similar story. I went into the AD just to look. I was looking at a submariner date. I started a conversation with my sales rep. I found out he lives in the next town over from me. I also found out we have similar political views. He gave me his card. I texted him a couple of weeks later and I told him I was interested in the Batgirl. That was on a Wednesday. Three days later I get a call from him asking if I wanted the Batgirl. When I went to pick up my Batgirl, he also brought out the sub. Of course I took the Batgirl. A couple of months later I texted him on a Saturday afternoon about a 36mm Datejust for my wife. The next morning he said to come pick it up. We have become great friends. He even took my wife and me to the 2022 US Open semi finals in the Rolex suite. GREAT time!!! I’m the type of person who talks to everyone. I’m always kind. I believe in treating people the way you want to be treated. In this situation it really paid off for me.
@@JZ0LIFESTYLE00that’s were I got my first Rolex. Great AD. Waiting on a Batman myself but I guess I’m not As lucky as you. Been almost a year. In time I guess . If it’s meant to be it will happen.
Congratulations! I had a similar story a couple years back with my acquisition of my Pepsi and ever since I shared my story, no one ever believes me. I give the same advice to be genuine with the right intentions on why you are buying a specific model. Once the AD senses that you are basically not a reseller, it’s all yours. Wear your Batman in good health! 🎉
Having got a Wimbledon 41mm on Jubilee bracelet after two months I have a similar story (I have 4 premium Rolex watches from the AD overall). This is great advice to you guys that want to be successful with a Rolex purchase at the AD. Take note that the store manager and the AD rep make a decision on who gets a premium Rolex just like in this story. I asked my AD rep "Why did it get this watch after two months" He said "You have a passion for the brand and we made a decision as a store that we wanted to offer it to you". Guys pay attention to everything this video says about building a relationship and showing a passion for Rolex and a particular Rolex watch if you want to have the same result.
Congratulations on the beautiful timepiece! I too had a similar experience with my AD. Went in and tried a lot of Rolex watches on. I gave them the reason why i needed this timepiece, visited every time for 30 minutes to an hour every few weeks where we talked about life, watches, family, etc. Got the call five months later for my first choice. No spending history and I built a genuine friendship with not only the AD but also the other folks that worked at the store.
CONGRATS ON your new timepiece. I can honestly cosign what you said and your path to inquiring that watch. I went into Wempe Rolex, on fifth Ave. Shoutout to them. When I walked in All the salespeople were busy and I happen to be looking around when I was greeted by a woman which happens to be the assistant manager. We had our little conversation, explaining what I wanted and it was going to be a gift for my 30th birthday. I was offered an opportunity to purchase the root beer GMT. She took my deposit and after 2-1/2 months I got the call. “ Forever Grateful” OHH MANNN that day I will never forget. Welcome to the GMT CLUB MY FRIEND .
Got my first Rolex from an AD in February last year and been waiting for over a year for another time piece. It has also been a few years since my brother got a watch from a local Texas AD. He walked in to an out of state store and got a call for a new release olive dial presidential followed by a panda steel daytona a few weeks later. I need another watch and to get lucky! Batgirl is on my list too
My story is almost same as yours. I’m a senior in college rn 22 years old and I want a date just as an entry watch but I am finding no hope from videos I see. I will start going into Rolex shops to build a relationship wish me luck 🤞🏻
This is all very true. Building the relationship, being honest, upfront and just simply being kind is what works. I have a similar story but obtained a Sub Date w/ Green Bezel aka Starbucks this way. Mine took about 7 months from my initial contact with the AD but only popped in a couple times before my SA called me last week. Congrats on a cool timepiece
Congrats. I picked up my first GMT Master II (albeit the steel and yellow gold version on a Jubilee bracelet) from the AD around the time when you made this video. It was readily available to buy from the AD window here in the UK but I have been registered for the Pepsi too with the same AD having built up a good sales history.
You can get any Rolex at retail as long as you buy other high margin stuff like jewelry or other less desirable watch brands at the same time. You want a steel Daytona, just buy a diamond tennis bracelet for 25.000.
I got my airking a week after I went into Rolex checking it out, it really just comes down to the AD rep/salesperson, the lady really liked me and admitted to me she legit hand picked me out of the bunch
Not sure if you have been on top of the market shift in the last 12 months or so, but demand has been down for Rolex as the economy takes a hit. Another factor is that Rolex is actually producing more models. They have changed their tune to how they somewhat used to be prior to 2017. They’re starting to Give decent to good customer service and many of the AD’s are less arrogant and indifferent. There’s many examples now of people with no purchase history getting the watch that they wanted in several months or less time. I have several acquaintances that are in the gray market and even they have told me that they are paying much less money for quite a few of the models that used to fetch premium.
@@JZ0LIFESTYLE00 I also forgot to mention, at least in our wonderful state of California and New York, those wonderful homeless citizens and misunderstood violent criminals that are robbing luxury watch owners at gunpoint are also helping the common man to be able to receive his Rolex quicker than usual, putting downward pressure on demand. 👍🏼
You probably told them about your other UA-cam channel with 100k subscribers. It’s good promo for them to sell you this watch . Now you can share to your viewers
Great GMT watch, congratulations! The Batgirl was my first piece too but it took me 4 months from the very first visit to the day I picked it up in July 2020.
rolex made more than 2 million watches a year!! how do you think,for how long this waiting list will continue ,special in this economic situation?? check all the grey market is full of Rolex, just $1k on top of the retail for popular model and don't sells!!! its a many more reliable and quality watch company around with no waiting list , who needs a machine made Rolex?
Great story! I am curious though, How were able to afford a $16k watch out of college? It may be a personal question, but I am asking out of curiosity, not judgement.
Sorry mate, that does not make any sense. You haven’t done anything different than most of the customers who are in the market to buy a Rolex. These are well known to-do’s and you have not provided anything new here. You just got lucky this time I guess. Even thought Rolex makes great watches, its customer journey is ridiculous, and this kind of videos promote it.
That's fair to say, I did get really lucky indeed. Getting a GMT in two months with no purchase history is really rare, so I figured I share what I personally did in case it resonates with anyone out there watching.
Dude take your time. I am 51 now, bought my first SS white gold jubilee at 24, Seadweller at 28 and SS Daytona at 32. I haven’t bought any after marriage and with kids, bought houses and cars instead……..take your time, do well in school and make good money in a useful field.
@@JZ0LIFESTYLE00 Um, I'm not saying there are no wait times, because there are, but you should be able to get any watch within like 2 or 3 order cycles. Exceptions are SS Daytonas and Pepsis. But it's not like magic if you buy a Rolex at the AD. It's terrifyingly normal.
@@joggle4321 That's fair to say but the watch I got is an exception. It's right below a Pepsi in terms of how hard it is to get. I wouldn't make a video if I picked up an airking or a datejust in two months.
I mean, if you say so. I got my Batman in around 3 Months and the YG GRNR in 5 weeks. Friend got his blue SkyD in around a year. I don't really think it's that crazy in 2024 to buy your watch at the AD. I was with a friend at an AD we have no history with and were offered a WG Sub as a take-away. Times changed.
@@joggle4321 Did you have prior purchase history? My point is that I got a popular SS gmt in two months with no purchase history. I've personally talked to many people about it and they are all shocked when I tell them my situation. I'm not saying it's impossible but it's definitely not common lol
Congratulations beautiful watch 🎉🎉👍👍 I am waiting for that that from my AD to call me for my Pepsi I kno that will never happen .!any idea how I get Pepsi from any AD besides gray market thx
@@michaellui74 Extremely hard to get without purchase history. My AD personally told me Pepsi and Daytona would've been out the picture. Perhaps if you make an amazing impression your AD could offer It
I brought 2 watches at a ad and one of them is dj36 and they won’t even hold it for me over 2 days and 2nd watch wasn’t a Rolex that is more expensive than a gmt batgirl and I’m still waiting for gmt batgirl for over 2 years
There's no secret. Just depends on how much of a impression ya make. I got my sub date with a 7 week wait with zero purchase history in a store that's a power house for rolex sales.
@@JZ0LIFESTYLE00 Exactly! I was looking for the rare Rolex video that doesn't mention it at all. They are extremely hard to find. Even a video about "unboxing a new BLNR" has a mandatory (but irrelevant) nod to the Rolex Pepsi.
@@jamesmoninger1982 Well I went over basically every single stainless steel model based on how hard it is to acquire. Hard to leave out Pepsi no? Lol I mentioned black/white dial Daytona, different dial OPs, datejusts, etc, made sense to bring up sprite, Pepsi, batman
Was in the Singapore store - shelves full of Rolex but not for sale not one watch. X3 sales people standing around with nothing to sell. Asked what the story was they said 4 years for any model - what a load of shit. By omega you will look like less of a wanker.
