I dont understand.

Why wouldn't you pay retail + tax. That is what it costs. And it is highly sought after watch. Not too many discounts to be had.

Please let this letter serve as notice to refrain immediately from using the term "bruiser" in reference to the Rolex GMT Master II BLNR. The term "Batman" is only marginally tolerable.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Can we please have a formal announcement before changing the randomly assigned nick-names for Rolex watches. Preferably in writing AND in triplicate.
Thank You.

I think Bruiser sounds more mature than Batman, but that's me I suppose. This watch is so dang nice, it makes me not like my Gold Coast (a/k/a "Bluesy" ) so much. I am happy I got this over the Pepsi (for now).

Using the term "bruiser" should be punishable by death via invicta's.

Bruiser as a name for that beautiful watch makes me cringe. Please, just.. don’t.

Possibly! I would probably pay MSRP but have it shipped out of state to avoid the tax.
