DJ Pink Roman did i get a "good deal"
Just returned from 47th street in manhattan's diamond district....was in search of a ss silver face non-roman fluted bezel, Z series...jeweler presented me with pink face, roman numeral, plain polished bezel, SS...
I went in with a jeweler friend of mine who frequents the store to make wholesale purchases...the watch looked beautiful although it wasn't initially what I wanted..the look of this quickly changed my mind....i paid $3800 cash This is brand new Z-series....was this a good price or did I end up paying MSRP? |

![]() Is this the model 116200? If so, is it on Oyster or a Jubilee bracelet? Either way, you got a very good deal. On Jubilee, you'd have to probably pay an extra hundred bucks. Post some pics when you can. Thanks - JJ ![]()

$3800 out the door..remmeber I went with jeweler friend who has been doing business with this store for many years
no tax, no receipt/proof of purchase, etc.. The papers read Official Rolex Jeweler- Foxwoods Resort Casino Name and address of purchaser- someone in Flushing, NY Purchase date- 10/3/06 All clear stivkers were still on it...so it was pre-purchased but never worn |

Fom what I understand the sales tax rate in New York is pretty high, however, regardless of condition, you did not buy straight from an authorized dealer. I don't know if the pink face ps the value or anything, but I would say from the information you;ve given that you got a decent deal. You certainly didn't get ripped off, and you didn't pay MSRP since you didn't pay tax on the MSRP. But you may have been able to get a lower price through a gray market dealer from out of state (however you would not have seen the watch in person prior to buying.)
So, to sum up, I think you got a decent deal. Besides, you got a Rolex, and tat is the most important part ![]() |

Here's a good example:
