GMTIIC deal: yes or no?
Offered to me by my AD at old price and 24 mo interest free financing just as a cherry on top.
Good or no? It's got me thinking.

I was once offered 2 elephants for the price of 1!!! It was a real bargain...
Problem was, I didn't really want an elephant... Moral of the story is... Do you WANT the watch???

You can buy it and if you decide it is not for you, you can always flip it later.

It's a great watch! Plus, look at it like this... After the 24 months of payments are up, the watch will prolly retail at 10k with the way Rolex increases their prices! You could basically wear it for free.

Very good point! I am always a fan of no interest deals....you can take your time and you don't really feel the purchase...

Well Joey, your AD WANTED to get you thinking...and he has.
I know you go first class whenever possible / no holds barred. So why not? You can always sell. You have an 8% cushion as you are getting old MSRP - tax / dep notwithstanding. |

Yeah, no tax either.
Great deal and I've always wanted the watch... I should have never visited him! I was doing so well for 6 months - I cut myself cold-turkey from any and all watch related items! TRF is to blame as well... .

So what's your Rolex line up looking like these days?
Apart from the Black Dial Daytona, I've lost track! |

The trifecta has remained VERY stable w/o changes for about a year now... SS Daytona Black Milgauss GV Sub Date (non ceramic, M serial) Wasn't looking for a 4th but the deal seems to be a solid one. Tough choice.

If you really like the watch & want it - sounds a good deal
Forget anyone saying about paying cash though - better the wedge in your bank & paying it up as long as your fine with the payments. |
