Thailand AD's Rip the Milgauss GV
Here in Thailand the AD's are still taking advantage of the high demand of the green crystal milgauss.
One AD called Time Midas received a green crystal Milgauss in today and quoted me a fixed price of US$15,335. I said but that is 100% markup on recommended retail. The polite reply was "That is what the boss set the price at." Oh well wishful thinking on my part

No, but I went to the Rolex website and it traced my location and gave me the telephone numbers of all the AD's in Bangkok. So I called about 5 on my Skype phone and mosts said they were waiting. 2 said they had them in stock but both said the price was at least US$15,000.

I don't suppose one would bring such a large envelope out of the country so it will probably be thomas cook cheques or plastic. That will dull the lustre a fair bit...

You can't fault Steve's organisational efforts on this one.
The Rolex Gods are not on your side but your time will come, at MRSP.
