So did it hit today??

Well after about a year wait, my AD finally got me a black dial SS Daytona MSRP today $7900USD.

Do you think he was waiting to make the extra 15%? I know I would!

The other option is not to declare it and take a chance,simply wear no watch over and wear the new one back.May be even post the empty box back to yourself.

Just don't look guilty leaving as the sniffer sheep in NZ are baaad.The Australian customs might be a different story.

Ahhh gotcha. Thanks!
Yes, When I was in NYC last year I was wondering whether or not it was worth the risk to buy my speedy duty free & just wing it, but I chickened out....
Besides, I got a waaaaay better deal even with tax included!

Apparently, our sheepshagging "friend" never took Economics 101 at University.

He has to go to Qatar Plus, I'm sure he can but a fake anywhere, not just in NZ

[astcell]

Qatar is a free trip, not sure about NZ. Then again one never knows! I had to go to Papua New Guinea once but I was only there for a few hours, and it was at night. No time to be a tourist sometimes.

I don't mean on the Daytona, I didn't expect a discount. I mean they won't discount anything!

Been there, done that! They really don't carry anything I want any longer, so will do all my shopping in Hogtown.
