Just returned from my local AD & looked at the GMT11 for the first time with the ceramic bezel & a $7,000 retail tag. I must admit, it was a thing of beauty. Purchased a Date Just for the wife in December & a TOG for myself in January. I really can't justify dropping another 7 G's, although very tempting. I'll place this on my wish list for the next time my wife asks what to get me.

I bought mine for a thousand less than that. It pays to shop around.

Look in for sale section--there are some nice ones that are used that are complete with box and papers etc. priced well in 5k range. Check them out.

I paid 5170.00 off this forum for an m serial that was like brand new.

happylife · 10 March 2010, 10:44 AM

what is the best discount you got for a brand new one?
I was offered 15% in Dec., but I hope I can get one with 20%.
Is it possible?

The AD gave me 15% discount on my TOG, retail $9,050, no tax as the watch was shipped (postage paid by AD) out of state.

When I visited the AD yesterday & tried on the GMTll, we didn't discuss pricing (retail was $7,000) because I wasn't ready to pull the trigger. The only time I haggle pricing is when I am ready to purchase.

Pull the trigger now before the price increase, it is coming.

Just referred a TRF member to my local AD last week for bnib SS GMT2C, he got for 20% off + no tax - $5600 to be exact. PM me if you are interested.

don't forget tax!
if you order from any out-of-state AD - you're saving 6-10% right there!
getting 15% is easy, so just order it from another AD...
then you got over 20%...

The GMT II C is a beautiful watch, I saw a TT version at an AD this past weekend and it is a stunner.

For AD, what is the best deal I can get?
Anyone bought one recently?

No it wouldn't be out of the question. I would purchase from TRF as BNIB, but if I can get the same 20% from a local AD + no tax, it's really a no brainer.
