Hi all

This is my first post and thanks to you guys I bought a DJII. I am in St Maarten now and looking at a submariner with date for 7,742.00

Is that a decent price?

I was going back today to get a price on the no date model

Thanks Guys

The price is not as important as whom you are buying from.. Is this a grey dealer, individual, or an AD? Just be careful is all

Alpino · 31 October 2015, 11:21 PM

.

7742 what ?

Colina19 · 31 October 2015, 11:23 PM

I think you can do better here.

Star Ferry · 31 October 2015, 11:50 PM

You could get lower on TRF but seems okay for an AD. But if we're talking euros, then the price is way too high.

845cpl · 1 November 2015, 12:21 AM

It's at goldfingers which I believe is the ad for st Martin

Also the price is in US dollars

Welcome

Sounds like a decent price for BNIB.

845cpl · 1 November 2015, 12:34 AM

Should the no date model be about 1k less?

Urosfan · 1 November 2015, 12:39 AM

No date is roughly a thousand less

NKflyer · 1 November 2015, 01:40 AM

The current U.S. retail prices are $8550 for the Sub date and $7500 for the no-date.

$7742 for the date is an okay price if you prefer to purchase from an authorized dealer but you can buy for about $500-700 less from grey market sellers (a.k.a. "trusted sellers") in the classifieds section of this site.

Also, if you declare the purchase on your customs form upon returning, prepare to pay a couple hundred dollars duty.

I'm wearing my 116610LV from Goldfinger's as I type this.
The purchase was Duty Free and so no worries about paying extra at Customs but better to double check. Did it in 2013
Decent price for the full AD experience
Better pricing on TRF, of course
It's your call. Best of luck!

One extremely trusted seller on TRF is asking $7675 so I'd probably buy the one you are looking at if it is new. They will size it for you, you'll have it right now and your name will be on the warranty.

Doesn't seem too bad. I am going to saint maarten next week and plan on checking goldfingers out. Which location did you go to?

Yes, free of duty/taxes normally charged to residents of St. Maarten. Back in the U.S., unless you get an extremely cool customs officer or don't report the purchase (which can be bad if caught), you will have to pay a few percent duty on the amount in excess of your $1600/couple exemption.

Rags · 1 November 2015, 08:33 AM

Wait till you get home & contact one of the trusted sellers here..They will do better..

treeinthecity · 1 November 2015, 08:43 AM

I was in St Maarten in February and found that Goldfinger gave 10% on most stainless steel models and only 5% on BLNR.

zama · 1 November 2015, 09:36 AM

Sounds reasonable.

cdmorenot · 1 November 2015, 10:14 AM

That's a good price from an AD new.

Did get waved through but was ready to declare. With the family allowance it wasn't going to be a huge hit, nevertheless
Agree that honesty is the best policy
