Mayors discount 11619LB WG Sub

[Deepsea Florida]

This is crazy. Been looking at these watch forums for like a week.

My dad bought me a SS Sub back in 1986 for my 21st birthday. A few years later living at home and working, doing ok---bought myself a TT blue Sub. My SS Sub that was a birthday present was like around 1100 to 1300 dollars (like 25 years ago). My TT Sub that I bought myself was like 3300 or 3500 with tax, from what I remember. Got married early 90's and before I married the wife, bought her a TT ladies SS and gold Sub like looking links ladies watch for like 2100 or 2200 (best I can recall)

Well to make a long story slightly shorter.....I was very proud of my TT Blue Sub that I bought, and since I now had two rolexes ---well I gave the SS Sub to my dad to wear---(hell, I figured he bought it for me and I owed him WAY, WAY more than that for helping me in life...giving me life...and a billion other things).

Dad passed away a year and a half ago. Last number of year I had been wearing an $ 18 Casio---super cheepie----and once in a blue moon would wear the TT blue sub for a dressy occasion. But recently my 18 year old daughter asked me if she could wear the SS Sub as she knew I didn't wear it. I said ok, and on a recent business selling trip that I went on, and that I took her with me....I wore my TT blue sub on my sales calls like I used to back in late 80's and through the 90's.

Honestly her SS Sub looked better than my TT sub, as I had the SS Sub serviced and my TT Blue one had a faded dial and corrosion on the hands, as I never serviced the watch in over 20 years (still kept good time)....must have been some moisture that got into the watch. I was now jealous of my daughters watch.

I went out to Mayors a AD here in Florida, with a lot of stores in the area. Picked up a DSSD. I thought about getting a new dial and hands for the TT blue Sub, but thought it still looked kinda good and didn't want to spend between 1000-1500 on the watch. I paid reg retail for the DSSD 10,650 before tax.

I am very happy with my new DSSD. I love the fact that my daughter is wearing my SS sub. I don't need the cash out of my TT blue Sub, and it would need some money put into it.

Now, finally my problem is that I can't get the WG sub out of my mind. I was told I could get a 12% discount on the watch from Mayors, but I didn't push as I don't know how serious I am (wife might kill me if I bought it), but this is now when gold is $1750 an ounce, and the watch is beautiful, and heavy, about I would say same as my DSSD give or take a small amount.

Retail is 34,000 (crazy right ??). With 12% discount 29,920 before tax. What do you think I could really get the watch from my AD for 26,000 ??? Lower ???

Also if I were ever to sell it.....(i know this is crazy to ask)...BUT.....if I needed to sell the watch within a month...what is the minimum I could get out of it. I realize I would be buying retail, and selling wholesale....a crazy expensive watch that not many people have the money for.

Is there a good chance of getting mugged with the WG sub.

Thanks,

Dan
