14% is a laughable discount for a Rolex purchased at an AD?

$86k is the correct amount. Saw one at my AD here in Halifax and was blown away by the price tag.

Depending on the model but 14% from an AD is an awesome discount. Dunno what some people are smoking or expecting.

They use to give 20 on SS no problem. This is Canada not the US. Then again, 14% is still fair but I assume the remaining stock is not desirable. Remember tax is 13% and unavoidable.

If the criminals lived in the UK they could use the chronograph (which goes up to 12 hours) to measure their sentence time.

They would probably have to cross over the boarder to the US to pick one up and head back. They could use the Daytona to time that run.
