Helping a friend pick out a watch, he has started to be drawn to the sub serti. The one he has been looking at is a D serial from an AD and have talked him down to 10% off and no tax, which is 6% here, so he will ship out of state.

MSRP is like $9975.00 Somewhere in there. So what do you think? I think if he walks in there with $8400.00 Cash and sets it on the counter he is going to own the watch.

Thanks!

I would not accept 10 % only on that specific watch. I would expect 15 %+ on it, especially if I pay cash.

I would have to get at least 20% with it being an older model and a TT...And paying cash!!!!

I wouldn't pay over $8K. I would offer $7,500.

The trusted Powersellers on Ebay USA are offering the watch at $8000-8200 so $8400 or a bit less is quite reasonable.

Your friend should expect it to be worth $1000-1500 less as soon as he owns it.

This should not matter if it is his grail watch. A few of my watches were worth a lot less than $1500 once I made them pre-owned, including two of my current collection.

Does not make me regret purchasing them for a moment, though.

Bernardwatch.com has one new in the box with papers for $7995.00. They are a very reputable GD.

Thanks for all the input, I think maybe he should start at 8k cash and work up, maybe I can have my buddy negotiate insurance apprasials for my 2 watches! haha
