Yes - the title above says it all.

I just bought a Brand New GMT-Master II from my AD. (16710 / Z-series).

They had it listed at $5,075.00 (Due to the 10% increase last Oct).

I went in and gave him my Best Offer:

$4,300.00 + Tax = $4,654.75

Or $4,500.00 Out the Door.

The sales guy called his brother the Owner (Whom I have spoken before back in September who offered me the SS Yacht Master for $7,065.00 + Tax (10% discount from the $7,850.00 price at that time - It's now listed at $8,325.00)

He counter offered me with a price of $4,500 + Tax = $4,871.25

A difference of $216.50 (4871.25 - 4654.75)

We talked for another few minutes and I could see that he would not budge. So I made my move and said "NO DEAL" and started to leave hoping he would say "WAIT - COME BACK" but he didn't say a word.

I sat in my BMW 330i parked in front of the glass door pretending to talk on the phone for about 3 minutes and then drove off.

When I got home - I emailed him my final offer:

$4,400.00 + Tax = $4763.00 (Met in the middle) (Also comes with a FULL 2-Year Warranty)

22 minutes later I received a phone call asking me to stop by the store. Long Story Short - I now have a BRAND NEW GMT-MASTER II ROLEX (w/ the Black/Red Bezel).

FYI: I still have the pastic film on it - Can't wait to wear it to work monday - My Boss has the SS Submariner and our SVP has the SS Yacht Master.

Hope they don't think I'm getting paid too much - LOL.

I just wanted to say thanks to everyone here on this Forum - I read almost every thread before diving in and getting the GMT-MASTER II. I LOVE IT.

I will take pictures later tonight but everyone know's what it looks like.

Welcome to TRF, pal...and congrats on the new GMT-II.

Looks like everyone's on a buying spree!!

I myself purchased a brand new Z-series Sea-Dweller this morning from my AD.

Welcome to TRF, and congrats on your GMT purchase. A great Rolex, to be sure. I love mine!

Have a good time here, and post photos of your new baby when you get a chance!

mike · 17 March 2007, 10:38 PM

Congrats!

Great choice on the GMT! Such a versatile watch!!

LKNGOOD · 17 March 2007, 10:47 PM

Thanks Everyone - I still haven't taken all the plastic protective film of it yet - LOL.

I'm glad I went with the Black/Red Bezel but then again I can also change it in the future. I thought the Blue/Red was too much color given that the face was already black. I was trying to stay within 2 color schemes at most.

Thanks,

Lol-x · 17 March 2007, 10:55 PM

Black/Red is awesome, my favourite (at the moment). Enjoy the new experience, I know it feels very very good

Aadil, he never got one. He never PLANNED to get one. It was one big joke. I'm still laughing!!!

Hey LKNGOOD...you are practically my TX neighbor...congratulations on a fine purchase...

LKNGOOD · 20 March 2007, 09:20 AM

Here's some pictures of my new BABY

Currently I have 5 links on the '6' side and 6 links on the '12' side.

The center clasp is a little off centered on my wrist - I will just have to play with it and make a few adjustments.
