Rare occurrence!

For the first time after a long long while, I saw an AD displaying the ceramic GMT, Sub and (non-red) SD together in their case! All at retail prices hehehe.

[mirage]

Is it true that local ADs do not sell popular Rolex models to walk-in customers?

Depends which 'popular' models you are referring to. Depends also how much you are willing to pay for it.

The usual sports SS models. But what you mean by how much I am willing to pay for it? Isn't the rule now for ADs to sell at RRP maximum price only?

They will only sell to their preferred VIP. Forget about the waitlist, it's just there to placate normal AD customers. The piece of paper that will be thrown to the bin after the customer leaves the store.

Hard AD truths.

Like what I mentioned in the 1st post, sometimes you can still find these SS sports models in the stores. Explorers and Milgauss are almost everywhere, but the black GMT and Sub are harder to find in stores these days. The Batman and Hulk won't be displayed at all, they will probably go to the preferred customers (non-VIP or VIP) of the AD, or customers in the waiting list after the allocation for preferred customers is fulfilled.

Pieces like the ceramic Daytona (plus the currently hot red SD) will only be sold to their VIP customers. You have to spend a lot of money each year to get into their VIP database. Due to the scarcity of the Daytona, even VIP customers are ranked in terms of their importance to the AD.

Alternatively, you may go the grey dealers to get your sports rolex - at a premium of course.

If you have read enough about this in the forum, some people were still buying certain watches at premium price. How was that possible? I really don't know. One method I 'hearsay' was for a customer to buy one or two less popular high-end models at retail price, so as to be entitled to buy a popular sports model, also at retail price.

There are limited Rolex models one wanted. So how would a VIP spend alot each year other than further selling for profit? The so called AD VIPs are actually grey trader to be honest
