Is this a good deal?

[Han]

Hi all,

Last weekend I happened to be in Chinatown and found my way to an AD there. I took a look at the 'Bluesy' (as JJ calls it) ... Yeah, JJ, you are solely responsible for my turning interest from a SD to a TT Sub! .

After trying it on, I asked the salesman what he wanted for it. He quoted me
US$7,600.00 out the door. Note: it is a "D" series.
As for authenticity, he said he would show the serial # between the lugs and compare it to the certificate.

So what do you think? Is it a great deal?
I'm interested in hearing all of your recent purchase experience with an AD (vis a vis discounts etc). In particular, I would like to hear opinions from guys in and around San Francisco Bay Area.

Regards,
Han

PS: does "D" series TT Sub have SEL?

Hi Han,

Sorry to burst your bubble, but that's NOT a good deal. I got mine last December for just US$5900 out the door.

Yes, a "D" series will have SEL, but the current series is the "Z" series...not that there's any difference at all.

But that price of $7600 is way over the top. Given where you live, around $6500 should be a good deal.

Anyway - maybe you should wait until next week...after they have announced the putative new TT Blue Sub!!

...which I doubt will ever come out. If there is going to be a new Blue Sub, it will in all probability be in FULL GOLD with the BLUE Ceramic bezel and matching dial.

Bad price. I got a new Z series from an AD brand new in the box a month ago for $7045. Not far from San Francisco. Portland. If you want one let me know. You could by a ticket, fly here get it at that price and still save $300 bucks and have a new Z series.

....and if you take him back to your AD as a referral, he might even get a further discount as compared to what you got....being a second sale!!

Han, just drive north to Southern Oregon and you can get a much better deal at either Hart Jeweler in Grants Pass, Oregon or Skeis in Eugene.....

[Mr. K]

Sounds like the price is on the high side especially if it is not an AD.

[nko51]

Retail is $7825, so anything under that including tax, is better than full retail.

Langejl just got a new Z serial number Sub from my AD. 10% off and no sales tax. Let me know if you want a good deal.

Thanks, Kansaivet. I might just take you up on it.
I know all about your new, handsome TT Sub.
How do I contact you when I'm ready to go ahead with the purchase?

Thanks,

Mr. K,

I checked with Rolex USA, they are an AD.
I guess it is just the high price for living here (we're paying $3.30 for a gallon of regular).

Thanks, Arturo.
It sure is a nice drive up the coast this time of the year.

Plus no sales tax here. I don't know how Cali looks at that though.

Seriously, I wouldn't pay more than $6300 out the door for a BNIB from an AD.
