I understand you don't want to pay $55k for a 5164 with a retail price of $35k, but its that or buy into an AD relationship for a watch you're sure to lose money on and that has identical functionality to the 5164. Either that, or wait until the bubble bursts or ask the AD to bundle a different watch.
A poor deal to my mind.

Cheers all, and thanks for the thoughts/notes. I didn’t realise the drop would be that much on the 5524r, so will think things through before making the call. I might just wait for other ADs to come through on the 5164a alone as there is no rush
