Great forum guys! After 14 years of owning a TT DJ...I made my 2nd purchase today. Got a new "M" SS GMT II-C from my AD at 15% off with no tax. Can't wait to pick it up Wed night. I have to pay cash to get the deal but it's worth the discount. It was the only one they had in stock.

So, questions for the experts on the site....How'd I do on price?

Thanks!

you should ask b4 u buy anything...too late....

Defiancekofb · 24 November 2009, 12:38 PM

There have been BNIB Rolex GMT-C SS sold for about 20% discount on the forum (With Full Warranty). You should always check the forums first. Personally, I would never buy a BNIB from an AD again knowing the price discounts you can get online. But, if your going to keep your GMT-C for a long time, I see no problem with the 15% discount.

OrchidDR · 24 November 2009, 12:40 PM

Well, it's only money!

What's your sale's tax percentage? Add that to the 15 percent and if you're satisfied - that's all that matters.

Either way, it's a BEAUTIFUL WATCH! Congrats and welcome!

Dr.B · 24 November 2009, 12:43 PM

Great choice

Naples09 · 24 November 2009, 12:44 PM

I could have saved a few bucks, but the service we have received from the AD is worth the money.

Sales tax is 7.75%, which makes it a better deal as well.

Thanks Steve! Congrats on your recent GMT purchase!

x2 Good deal on a great watch.

dukester · 24 November 2009, 12:46 PM

Great choice and enjoy your new watch! Don't worry too much about the price.....now that you have already bought it.

Naples09 · 24 November 2009, 12:47 PM

Thanks JJ.

Pics will follow later this week. I need to go back this week to pay the rest in cash and pick up the watch.

therolexguy · 24 November 2009, 12:49 PM

I think that's a very competitive price. Great job. Can't wait for pictures.

thecoinopcollector · 24 November 2009, 12:49 PM

Great watch, you will love it and 15% isnt bad.

kcmo · 24 November 2009, 12:50 PM

Congrats! Enjoy it for many years to come!

Speed · 24 November 2009, 01:00 PM

Nice!!! You have a brick & mortar location to go back to if need be.

I bet you buy another Rolex in less than 10 years time!!!

Congrats

Bisquitlips · 24 November 2009, 01:04 PM

You did fine. If your tax percentage is anywhere close to ours you did the deal at about 23% off.

sleddog · 24 November 2009, 01:04 PM

IMO,anything less than MSRP is good going.....Your alway's going to get people saying"I got it for this,I got it for that",you saved money!!! Well done and I'm looking forward to the pics..!

marshallr47 · 24 November 2009, 01:07 PM

Naples, what really matters is are you going to be happy with your new watch? As long as you are.....then nothing else matters. Enjoy your new watch and give us a look at that beauty.

Damage Inc. · 24 November 2009, 02:03 PM

Congrats...and check the threads on the 'clasp failure'- then check your bracelet.
2 years on I love mine- wear it almost every day. In fact, I love it so much it made me go buy it a vintage brother...be careful or you'll be headed down that path too!

Submarino · 24 November 2009, 02:12 PM

Who cares about pricing. You wanted it and you got it. Enjoy it!!!!

ersnyder · 24 November 2009, 02:18 PM

Maybe you could have saved some extra dollars and maybe not, it really doesn't matter and will matter even less in the days to come. Congratulations on getting a GREAT watch, wear it in good health!

JohnBoy · 24 November 2009, 02:40 PM

I agree with the majority! You got a watch that you obviously love, and you did business with your local AD. Both - Priceless!! A couple of hunderd dollars, or whatever, either way, won't be significant on the bottom line of life, but your smile sure will be!! A really nice, new Rolex watch is worth every penney, especially if you keep them like you do! Just enjoy it! Congratulations!

Zgar · 24 November 2009, 02:55 PM

You've purchased a fine Rolex model one that is very popular with alot of guys here . congrats and enjoy it. 15 % & no tax when added up is a good deal

carlhaluss · 24 November 2009, 04:19 PM

Well, the GMT IIc was the very first Rolex I tried on. For a watch of that type, the 40mm is the perfect size! Fits like a glove, and the finish is superb. I ended up with a Milgauss, about the same percentage discount, but I am so pleased to have an AD that I really like. That is as important to me as the watch.
You did well, and congratulations! That is a beautiful piece, shiny but not too blingy, and a real class act!
Cheers,
Carl

jdc · 25 November 2009, 01:26 AM

Great deal whatever some say here you would find that hard to beat

plus peace of mind from buying from an AD. You have established a relationship with the AD that will benefit you both in the future many congratulations

cobblecanyon · 24 November 2009, 03:22 PM

Depending on your tax rate but assume it's 8.25% + 15% off for the latest/greatest GMT IIc ????? I say yeah, you got a great deal so if you are happy than it's all cool. BTW...very nice watch!

Tools · 24 November 2009, 04:11 PM

15% off plus no tax... on a SS GMT IIc from an AD.........

You stole it........... I don't know what some of these other guys are talking about.......

dalip · 24 November 2009, 04:22 PM

absolutely agree with all the sentiments on here that congratulate you....awesome watch...15% is fine...and what matters is you own it
remember to post pics soon as you can...congrats again!!!

Z-Sub · 24 November 2009, 04:55 PM

better than I did so

Alsey · 24 November 2009, 05:17 PM

There are some great sellers and deals to be had here at TRF, sometimes you'll see a great deal only to be followed by an even better deal, maybe even on the same day.

Bottom line is that you can't always get the best deal, sometimes many factors are involved....timing, convenience etc.

I got a good deal on my SD, but could have done slightly better here, but a wire transfer wasn't convenient at the time and there wasn't an SD available when I wanted it.

You did just fine and chose a nice piece....enjoy it.
