Amex, personal check, cashier’s check, wire or cold hard cash?

Credit card. You don't want to be lugging around that much cash at any given time imo :)

Boothroyd · 30 August 2020, 01:56 PM

Credit card.

Snake Plissken · 30 August 2020, 01:57 PM

Credit card to get points/money back.

If you pay cash for big amount of money like that, you have to sign some document to show the source of that money.

Robocop305 · 30 August 2020, 01:58 PM

Amex

GradyPhilpott · 30 August 2020, 01:58 PM

Three of my Rolex watches from my AD were paid for with cash (14060M, 116200 63600, and 116710BLNR).

The other (114270) was paid for with a cashier's check.

I paid cash for two Tudor watches (THC and BB36) and a Frederic Constant (Peking to Paris Chronograph).

I have paid cash for all the watches I have bought from my used dealer.

Hub6152 · 30 August 2020, 01:59 PM

There’s no benefit of paying in cash to an AD. It means someone has to take it to the bank which carries another set of risks!!

Riskier than wearing the watch? ;)

SpeakWithMichael · 30 August 2020, 02:01 PM

When I was living in Spain you couldn't use more than around 2500 euros in physical cash I think it was, due to money laundering laws. So you had to use a debit card, credit card, or a wire transfer was also an option also if I'm not mistaken. I would use an Amex card that got me travel points which I would then redeem for travel. Nothing sweeter than a free trip as the bonus perk of getting the Rolex you wanted.

Double jeopardy frankly!!

Snake Plissken · 30 August 2020, 02:04 PM

I'm jk I would be nervous too, but there is a bank branch literally in the same building as my AD, and in the area there is virtually no crime.

PA Zu · 30 August 2020, 02:06 PM

Unless a store is going to give me a cash discount I always use credit card to get travel points.

Adri4n. · 30 August 2020, 02:08 PM

+1 for AMEX/VISA, great way to get Aeroplan/AMEX points!

Amex for the points and the two years it adds to the Rolex warranty.

sgwatchguy · 30 August 2020, 02:22 PM

Amex. Loads of points = free travel.

Raymondlam09101985 · 30 August 2020, 02:39 PM

Plat cards add warranty to some products like electronics but I wasn't aware it applied to watches

I got rid of mine a couple years ago. The annual fee hikes were not worth the benefits.

CC, get those points.
