Sorry Buddy

Well a close friend and business partner wanted and a SS white Daytona. In the past I have managed these things, ( way in the past). I told him it was not possible, it would take way to much money and time. So then I told him just to go grey. He said he don’t have problem going grey but simply can’t afford to spend 35k on a 14k watch. He simply does not have that type of disposable income. So I thought about this for awhile. I do know a AD that will sell a SS white Daytona, and they are very blunt on what you have to buy in order to get one. You basically have to spend around 30k on other items, then you have the privilege of buying said watch. Now I don’t agree with this, as I never been force to buy to get what I want. I do spend money on my regular AD and have a great relationship with them too, but as we all know, you simply can’t bring all your buddies to the table. So here is the deal.

Buy 4 Tudor’s priced around +\- 5K GMT, 58, chrono whatever they have in stock,
Buy 1 JLC ( they do have moon face reverso in stock blue/white) 12k ish

Receive a SS White Daytona plus a no date black sub.

The plan is charge everything and sell off the Tudor’s at a loss, (around $1300 each loss) as well as the reverso and probably make a little something on the sub,
Then pay off his CC. I know some here may think this is taboo or whatever, but how is a regular working stiff supposed to acquire a 14k watch . This will be his one and only watch in his lifetime. So drastic times call for drastic measures.
