What Did You Pay

In 1996 I purchased an Oyster Perpetual Datejust in stainless steel and 18K gold, dial set with 10 diamonds, fluted bezel and jubilee bracelet from the AD. The MSRP was 6750.00 at that time and I paid 6000.00 out the door. The MSRP is now 9525.00 over 10 years later (of course the bracelet is design is nicer today). What did you pay and when?

No deals where you live? I just made my second purchase, a TT 16613 Sub with the diamond markers and steel dial. MSRP 9975.00, 9000.00 out the door from an AD.

No. My AD said that Rolex did not allow them to give discounts-I heard this from 2 different ADs. I did get $100.00 off for paying caash though.

Just paid $5525 for a new Sub LV from an AD. No sales tax and the AD paid for the shipping and insurance.

In Hong Kong 8 December 2006, paid $3250 for a new Explorer 1 and $3450 for a new Sub No-Date.

Too much.

1970, divorce #1
1988, divorce #2
1995, divorce #3

That should cover one of every model in the current Rolex lineup, and a few vintage Patek Philippe's thown in.

Alcan,

Looks great on your wrist JJ, but not my cup of tea! Like the Maxi dial, and can not wait to put it on a NATO like Tonelar has Sub LV on!!

It can't be any worse than where I live-a "city" of 12,000 people. Although I am only 35 miles from our states' capitol city.

By the way, JJ, how many posts until I earn the right to call you a tosser?

I was shopping for a preown DJ with a friend... he had his eye on a watch that is very similiar with the one you described. but the vintage is 2000.

It was going for SGD 6k. with everything intact except the green sticker on the back.
