Source for 3861 deal?

Sorry if this is in poor taste. Anyone know of an AD willing to do a 3861 at around 20% off?

How can it be in poor taste? Unless I'm missing something or unaware of any rules/ethics involved it seems to me that locating less predatory dealers would be a legitimate function of a board like this. Please correct me if otherwise.

Ive seen the 3861 for a bit off msrp in MINT used condition... as far as the AD's go, Omega is trying to up their scarcity game ala Rolex... but it's not going to work for them. you will probably get between 5-10% at a AD... I have been offered that.

Local AD said "We can do something" and an online AD offered 10% without breaking a sweat.

Erik Szper at Radcliffe in Maryland has always taken really good care of me. I haven't talked to him in a couple of years, but if I were buying a new Speedmaster he would be my first call.

Thanks! I just hadn't seen many posts like this, so wasn't sure if it was considered not cool to ask. That said, I agree with what you said above!!!

Just got the new hesalite one. No discount but I got a pen, hat, and candle. Lol. I was trying hard for them to throw in the sunglasses but they wouldn’t budge.

I LOVE the hesalite...just too chicken that I'd mess it up. I especially love that bracelet! So much so, that I'll prob have mine brushed to look like yours.

Congrats!

I love your original speedy. I’ve been eyeing that model the last 6 months.

I loved it too. I miss being able to look down and see the date! Has a pretty cool clasp on the bracelet too.

Get one! :)

3861 is quite popular so no discounts. Additional strap maybe.
