That's been Rolex philosophy for a while, yeah?

Interesting that the AD didn't have the watch spoken for by at least a few potential clients. You should post which AD has the piece in case fellow members may be interested.

20% not 35% UK price is 30k, VAT in the UK is 20%.

There are more people in the world now lining up to buy toilet paper at their local Walmart or Costco than people waiting for a SS Daytona, BLRO or similar.
