I couldn't be bothered with sucking up to a sales assistant in a watch shop or buying stuff i don't want just to MAYBE get on a waiting list. So i paid the grey price for my Submariner and Datejust and had them in my hand 48hrs later.
I will only buy a watch for MSRP or less, which means I won't buy a Rolex from anywhere but an AD. If I don't get one I want, then thats the way it goes.
@@mattbradley9022 I've been incredibly fortunate/lucky to get my 3 favorite Rolex from two different ADs in the last five months. Now I go into hibernation from watch buying for at least a year.
Appreciate these videos but for 99 percent of us there isn’t really a choice. None of us are getting a hot model at retail and the only route is going grey. For all those saying I’d never buy a Rolex for more than MSRP-unless you’re extremely lucky you are always buying these above MSRP. if an ad is offering you a hot model that means you have spent significant money on other less popular models (ie ones no wants). So that BLNR that you got for $9k (after spending $50k on other models) means you really got it at $59k
@@PSM5550 The first one was literally in the case and available for sale and I snatched it in 2018. The second was purchased 3 months after introducing myself earlier this year.
@@PSM5550 Again… I bought the 2nd one this year. From an AD with no purchase history. It wasn’t in the case but it was offered to me 8 weeks after asking.
If you’re spending significant money on a watch go to the AD, it’s to much money to spend to chance a Frankenstein-watch that you won’t be able to notice until a service tech sees it
When you visit your Rolex AD, do you wear one of your Rolex to demonstrate to them your loyalty to the brand, or do you wear something else to demonstrate to them your diversity of taste?
Great question! Usually I try to wear something I’ve bought from them, if not I just go bare wristed if I’m buying something or another nice piece like a Tudor or omega to showcase my tastes 😎
at least not another guy complaining that he can't get this or that Rolex, blaming ADs, blaming Rolex. I too want a black ceramic Daytona.. probably will never get it.. life goes on.
Great video thank you for letting me understand the difference between AD Rolex dealer and gray market. I am new subscriber watching all your older videos. Can you still find a brand new Batman on a jubilee Jan 2022??? 🙏 thank you
Thanks Michael! I am more than happy to share my personal insights with you guys! I do believe it’s still possible to get a Batman on jubilee. There’s definitely an element of luck to it, but also building the right relationship with your AD will help a lot as well. Hope this helps - best of luck in 2022!
@@watchyourstyle Thank you young man for replying back. Look forward to more videos. You should do a future video on unattainable Rolexes like 18 ct white gold rainbow or rose gold rainbow 🌈 thanks

Good way to look at it

@@jimlittle5769 me too very fortunate! Love the AD experience as well hopefully this shortage ends
Kao Beh
So since I have to wait I’m relegated to my gold Movado…I can live with that.
That Explorer is niiiice. 😮💨
Good video man! I would consider chopping your intro in half. Just food for thought
I thought it was already pretty short 😂
Great video! DJ41 is also my very first purchase from a Rolex AD!
Thanks brother! Great to hear from you again
Same went in for an air king came out with a black dial 41
The BLNR on jubilee is the Bruce Wayne.
Rumor has it, watch your style actually wears his BatMan on a NATO.

My BLNR was my first purchase at two separate ADs. This isn’t true.
@@davidkaplan5517 when? where? You walked in cold to two different ADs and they sold you a BLNR? How long was the wait?

@@davidkaplan5517 things are much different than they were in 2018. Rolex ADs have nothing in the cases today (except display models).

Can you provide a list of grey dealers that are trustworthy? How can you be sure they aren’t selling Franken-watches?
If you’re spending significant money on a watch go to the AD, it’s to much money to spend to chance a Frankenstein-watch that you won’t be able to notice until a service tech sees it
Take a shot every time this guy says “ timepieces”
🤣 🤣 time to consult a thesaurus!

What's the jewelery store u go to for ur watches and do you think its worth buying a batman right now they are like 18k 19k brand new
My BLNR was my first purchase at two separate ADs. Just get one retail.
Why does one have to grovel to spend money? Just so you can flex about a watch. 🤔
I wish I had better grey contacts. I want a 1983 root beer badly.
Buying from AD is a waste of money. They will make you to buy unwanted watches.
「こんなにいいとは思えない」、
AD ? Do they have any watches to sell ? Lol
Some aren't even accepting waitlist spots anymore :o
@@watchyourstyle yup, now aday I think none of them have a waiting list
