That’s only about a 50% markup which is vastly different.
Yeah it’s unbelievable here.

But reading through some of the posts you see here people spend crazy $ to be able to purchase the watch they really want. Considering the retail price here with tax in Ontario you’re looking at 12,882 cad I paid 17,400 cad thats 4500 over retail, and I didn’t have to wait and I didn’t have to purchase thousands of dollars worth of watches to get something that’s wanted.

Although it is quite ridiculous that you can’t walk into the store and get anything decent.
