Nice idea Toph.
Bought my 116710LN last week in Grand Cayman for $6150.00 U.S. Dollars.
It's a small price to pay for such a great watch. It's perfect in every way.

My wife bought mine for me as a gift and paid full retail because after looking at a few different ADs she was happy to find one in stock.

I guess you would call it a discount. I bought mine at the old retail price. I am sure they had it in stock prior to price increase.

Steve, it seems like Florida gets lots of allocations of GMT and Daytonas!

I paid $975 plus shipping...yep, $975

Actually, I won a ss Sub Date and asked if I could upgrade to the ss GMT.

ss Sub Date + $975 = ss GMT Master IIc

I stopped by 3 ADs (Mayors) over the weekend and 2 of them had a GMT-IIc on display. They are also currently giving anywhere from 5-10% discount.

Does not paying sales tax count as a discount? Since it is 8% here in my book it does. Mine was at old pricing 5500 I believe.
