My AD is offering a new "President" 218239

For $23.000 I can have the large 18k White gold new president with a black diamond dial.

Is this a good deal..???

I have no idea what the new Day-Date prices go for.

I would appreciate any info...

MSRP on the 218239 is $30,200, so you are getting a fair percentage off, it would be difficult to push for more. Though never accept their first offer right away, there is obviously room to haggle!

218206 Oyster Perpetual Day Date II 41mm platinum $51,050
218235 Oyster Perpetual Day Date II 41mm 18k everose $27,650
218238 Oyster Perpetual Day Date II 41mm 18k yellow $30,200
218239 Oyster Perpetual Day Date II 41mm 18k white $30,200

White gold or platinum would be nie - but not with lots of diamonds - black diamonds might look ok though???

Anas, PLEASE post pics if you get it....
The WG or Plat are both WOW!
Myself Id rather the Plat with the blue face over the diamonds BUT
thats a BIG jump in price.

As for if its a deal or not, I don't know.... I wish I was in the market that
I was pricing either of those....

Those prices seem amazing to me. I went to my "large" AD and both of those watches were at MSRP. I think those are great deals... Don't you get great deals on all of your pieces??? :)

Please post pictures if you get it! I really enjoy the new DD. When I'm done with college and have a good job, that's the first watch I'll get.

It's funny how we always ask for pictures. You'd think we're a group of pedophiles or something
