Or just skip the AD foolishness and buy it from a trusted grey dealer and be treated as a customer should, with respect.

It is so frustrating that we have to go to the grey market and pay double to get respect...

Cash will make “em dash we say in the Bahamas!

I supplied the ladies with some freshly caught lobster after having acquired my sub as a walk in

Or skip all the foolishness and don't buy these hype pieces. It's stories like these that make me glad my interest is in the 5 digit models.

Plenty of Starbucks in Nassau. Drive thru or dine in.
I thought this was a watch forum?

No go. I stopped in once Saturday after the pool. Nothing. The put us on their “well call you to fly in” list for 2 watches (hers and mine).

I doubt I’d fly there for a watch. I’m on the list at a couple locals here.

It was fun trying. My wife and I both enjoy the chase. We travel overseas a few times a year and always try to snag one.

Til next time….thanks for the feedback. Expect those who think they know how I should spend my time and are angry that I wasted 10 minutes on 4 occasions over a week of downtime. lol.

I’d venture 75% (or more) people wouldn’t even want these watches if they weren’t hyped. Think about all the color bezel stuff pre 2017. Hulk? Sat in cases.

most people don’t even realize it’s why they want it. Not because they actually even like it, just because they can’t have it. Luxury market at its best, all the brands are killing it with this

The new LV sub is nice. Adds a splash of color in a sea of black faced watches. I hope you get one soon.

OP thanks for this post. It actually acted as a catalyst to pickup a LV last night from a grey and skip the games.

Silly. The game is only frustrating if you play. Go enjoy your vacation and forget the nonsense. Not like these are Rolex Daytona Lemans. These are common watches.
