An Authorized Rolex Dealer offered the shown rolex below (day date platinum) for a $42000. what do you think ? is it a good deal?

This is the final price AFTER a 20% discount.

(these photos are taken from the net)

Please advise

Not to me...Sorry. That's 4 Daytonas or 6 GMT II C's or 10 Subs...

R1@160@alltimes · 26 December 2009, 12:27 PM

Price seems a bit high. You can do better than 20% off.

Beautiful watch, but I don't care for diamonds so I wouldn't consider it.

Idle Swede · 26 December 2009, 12:42 PM

.

I know tha AF sells them for $38,000 and that's asking price.

kyle L · 26 December 2009, 12:42 PM

I'm sure you can get a much better price, especially these days in the economy.

sea-dweller · 26 December 2009, 01:18 PM

Beautiful DD, congrats !

thahhab · 26 December 2009, 01:25 PM

Thanks guys.

Reasonable price to consider buying it ???

$38,000 will be a fare deal ???

Leasky · 26 December 2009, 01:28 PM

It is a stunning watch but also a hell of a price.

If they are available elsewhere for $38k, then that would be my starting point prior to any "negotiations".

The market, I would imagine, is in your favour at this time and if you were to be paying cash; then I would be looking for a substancial discount - well beyond 20%.

Sorry, its the Scottish blood - we hate spending money and always need to be getting a bargain.

Totally agree - even though I'm not Scottish!

Unless you just feel better buying brand new from AD keep shopping TRF. Purchased a Platnum from Bodypump 2 months ago ,under 20,000. Watch is flawless. with box and papers.

under $20,000 ? WoW.

How old is it ? any pictures you might share with us ?

HL65 · 26 December 2009, 01:58 PM

You can get a Z series -same watch from DoctorRolex for 25k (probably talk him down a bit too) -in pristine shape--and he is a legit seller. Just my take. Check him out --Best--

HL65 · 26 December 2009, 02:02 PM

PS--Here is link--it is 26,995--my guess is you get it for 25k range: Best of luck!!

kcmo · 26 December 2009, 02:07 PM

I think you can do better than $42k for sure! Gorgeous watch by the way!

Mockingbird · 26 December 2009, 02:33 PM

You could probably feed twenty families in a third world country for a YEAR instead of buying that.

Then again.. It's very pretty...

Thats the Scottish National statement.

Whats that doing on a wall in Boca Raton??

larrysb · 26 December 2009, 04:10 PM

Beautiful watch.

An AD offered me this one at an astounding discount ("friends and family") and I could not pass it up. I think you can do better than 20%.

WatchTimes · 26 December 2009, 05:32 PM

If you are seriously considering it contact TempoKing ASAP I am ALMOST positive he has one and I am almost willing to bet he will shock you with how much better he likely can do on that price.......

TempoKing is the KING (and DavidSW has a GREAT rep and prices as well, I just have not dealt with him myself)

SDDS · 26 December 2009, 10:12 PM

i was offered a Z series DD platinum with Roman dial at 31000USD so u should be able to get a better price even with diamonds on the dial but what Series is it??? Z,M??

entropydave · 27 December 2009, 02:59 AM

OMG - just discovered my grail watch. Seeing as I'll mever be able to afford one, I may as well have the chutzpah to ask if any one wants to buy me one!

jets · 27 December 2009, 07:23 AM

That watch is absolutely perfect. I would trade all my collectibles and watches for that beauty. Just sweet man.
