How easy is this to do and is it guaranteed?

It was extremely easy. I know in Cabo, the MONEYBACK station, where you file all paperwork, is inside the Puerto Paraiso mall and is super easy to file paperwork. I got my refund within 90 days with no problems. Not sure about Cancun, but I assume it's the same process. Would highly recommend purchasing from Ultrajewels in Cancun.

Thanks in advance, mabey next time I go I will try it out. I was just there last summer, in playa though. Ultra Jewles was beautiful and the mall it’s in Cancun is equally beautiful.

I have never regretted that and feel quite comfortable that I got my money's worth and that my AD earned his cut, as well. He ran a first-class business and it was my distinct pleasure to have dealt with him and his staff for so many years.

$100 off MSRP

Purchased my no date Sub 7/31, and only got $100 off msrp for paying cash, as that is what the dealer was saving in transaction fees(according to them). Manager actually appeared offended that I wanted a discount at all, but whatever.

On a side note, they offered to not change me sales tax if I had the watch shipped, but I didn’t want to mess with that.

What kind of work do you do? I might want to get in. I need another hobby. To answer the original question, seems like my AD gave me a 36 percent discount on my SubC but I had already bought a DaytonaC this year and 3 PM pieces in the last year and a half. So yeah I could of easily have paid full retail and not looked back but I didn’t get in the position I’m in now by not looking for deals and discounts.

Just to set the record straight.

I'm not rich. I'm not wealthy.

I live on a modest pension in a modest apartment and I drive a modest automobile. My wardrobe consists mainly of jeans and t-shirts.

I live well within my means and I put some money aside monthly as a discretionary fund, from which I pay for the few luxuries I allow myself, which includes some nice watches.

Most of the people whom I know only casually think I wear phony bologna because there is nothing at all about me that suggests that I even know what a Rolex is, much less that I can afford one.

Those who know me well, understand that I'm more interested in substance than in style and that the watches are a reflection good taste and a eye for value.

I have other interests that compete with the watches, but I'll just leave it at that.

Thanks.

I’m all over the map on this one.

I’ve paid less than retail on some, more than retail on one (my Panerai 690) and I paid full retail to get the first SD43 in Canada

Ha this is good and bad to read.

When I purchased my Explorer II back in 2012 I received 20% off which I was happy with. Ordered a No Date Sub C about two weeks ago and was quoted retail which in my area of the country is the going rate for most SS sports models. A discount is always nice but I don't mind paying retail for this one. Ultimate goal is to build a relationship and try to get on someones list for a Daytona -
