The guy I talked to (older guy, Ed) was chatty and amiable enough. But yeah, I think that's going to be the case for most Rolex ADs...if you want one of the desirable sports watches, you're probably going to have to buy a couple of the lesser watches to start...ie two-tones, ladies, stuff with diamonds etc. Kind of like how if you want a GT spec 911, you gotta buy a few Macans and Cayennes first.
Two weeks after I was put on the list for a steel OP or Datejust, I got a call from them offering me a two-tone fluted OP. That was probably the test...which I guess I failed.
The Grand Seikos they have are actually quite nice. That may be a better way to get in.
