    Waitlisted

    Bring coffee and donuts to buy a watch. LOL. I guess times have changed.

    Good lord! I don't think I've ever watched something that puts me off watches more.

    I know right. If I'm spending x amount of dollars on a watch we shouldn't need to butter up the dealer. I'll go somewhere else.

    A tube of lube wouldn't hurt, either -- who knows what those ADs like doing after coffee and donuts.

    Stuff that !
    There's never going to be any watch that I want THAT badly that I'll grovel for the privilege of being allowed to buy one.
    Some people have opinions - The rest of us have taste.

    I heard story like this often nowadays

    Come to the dealer wanting to buy a watch with crown logo,but since none are available they end up either buying from another brand or not buying at all...

    My goodness, that compresses almost everything I don't like about watch collecting into one video. Sometimes it helps to learn by counter-example.
    Too many watches, not enough wrists.

    I guess they weren't ready for a Rolex.


    (I heard that the line "Are you ready for a Rolex?" was frequently used by AD salespeople on prospective buyers. A bit before this wait-list game.)
