The AD in Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas Virgins Islands just called me to let me know that my 116710 is in. I won't be sailing there until September but that watch would be long gone by then. They haven't had one in their inverntory for over 6 months so I whipped out my VISA and paid for it on the spot.
I've been waiting for this watch since last fall, and the only opportunity, at this price, would only be in St. Thomas.

Should I have even attempted to ask for a dsicount ?
I'll upload actual pics when I pick this baby up
Thanks for reading my post.

what price?

Ivy League · 9 August 2008, 02:11 AM

Hey Tareg:

I see that you are from T&C.
We will be docking in Grand Turk for the day as well when we cruise in September.
Anything good that you might recommend ?
The AH Riise price is $6150.00 U.S.

thats a good price, in the uk its £3,600 ish... so about $7000 dollars

GerardoG · 9 August 2008, 02:22 AM

There is a AD @ Grand Turk CC (you will love the new wave pool!)

Ivy League · 9 August 2008, 02:28 AM

Already did the Flow Rider on Freedom of the Seas.
I recommend that you tie your drawstring on your shorts as TIGHT as you can.
The 60,000 liters of water per second knocked my shorts right down to my ankles.

Never saw so many simultaneous flashbulbs going off in my life !

I can imagine that! I visit GT for business frequently, very nice spot.

Ivy League · 9 August 2008, 02:37 AM

So what are prices like in Grand Turk please ?

I.V.

GerardoG · 9 August 2008, 02:41 AM

Same as throughout caribbean (depending on watch, discounts from 5 to 10/15%). The AD has a good selection but the store is small. Little Switzerland is now open, they do not carry Rolex, but have a nice selection of other brands.

kcmo · 9 August 2008, 03:04 AM

Congrats! A great watch at a fantastic price!

Tareg · 10 August 2008, 06:23 AM

You should be able to get a 10 percent discount, would recommend Jais.
If you have time i would recomment front street in Grand Turk, get some food and drinks and one of the restaurants there (Turks Head Inn, Sand Bar)

toph · 10 August 2008, 06:24 AM

thats a great price- almost the exact same as what i got in Barbados in June

You meant wide angle.

Ivy League · 12 August 2008, 01:54 AM

I think this thread went way off topic.

Baptistman · 12 August 2008, 01:58 AM

Just to make you sick, I found out the trade price of a GMT 11c in the UK

£1950 inc VAT.

The funny thing is I just emailed the Manager of the Rolex store in St Thamas Denis from AH Riise.

He is a nice gentlemen to deal with .

Good luck..

Tell him Don (red porsche) says Hi.. I ll see him in Oct.
