Dude - who pays retail for a Blancpain?

You can easily find one at 30% off retail, or better.

dude, you know how hard it was to convince the wife to let me get a 4,600$ sub?

30% off 14 grand = I ain't getting one. Ever.

Just buy her one! BTW - 30% is conservative, I've seen them discounted much deeper than that. Also - if you don't want brand-new, you can find them in the $5k range.
