Going to be in Toronto this weekend. Where to get new BLNR GMT

Guys and gals,

Any recommendations to an AD in Toronto? Looking to buy a GMT II BLNR.

Also, what the usual discount?


Thanks in advance

I live in Toronto and only visit one AD a few times a year, they've never had a BLNR for over 48 hours.

You may want to call ahead.

I called around for you, Damiani in Woodbridge (about 35-40 mins north of Toronto) has one in stock as of right now. List Price is $9,600CAD. They won't talk discount over the phone, but they're usually pretty good. None of the ADs closer to the city had any in stock.

Wasn't that the list price before the price increase in March?? I thought new list was now 10,200 CAD for the BLNR.

It's always possible that the lady I spoke with didn't know what she was talking about, but that's what she told me!

Probably, I think 9600 is the price for regular GMT II and BLNR is 10200. Do they offer discounts?? I know the BLNR is not easy to come by in most places.

Damiani is great. My dad's friends with a relative of the AD and has gotten some excellent deals.

Just curious, why are you going to Canada to procure the watch rather than where you are from (NJ?)?

Trying to figure out if I can get a better discount with exchange rate. U.S. Dealers are only discounting 10-15%

Yes you should save a ton due to the favourable exchange rate

Exchange rate savings are nice, but tax + intl credit card fee (3%, depending) = not worth it.

No you are better off in the us at 10-15 off. You simply cannot avoid the 13% tax in Ontario. Frankly, 10-15 is very strong on a BLNR in the us, where taxes can more easily be mitigated.

Why would they discount a watch in such high demand?

Ha! That's funny, I had a feeling she didn't really know what was going on. I even said to her "The bezel is black/blue right?" and she said yes. Some people I tell you...

I'm actually promised the next batman at Damianis which has a eta of beginning of Aug. But I did say I wasn't in a hurry. But still would have thought they would offer it to me first before putting it in the open market. I called jokingly asking why I wasn't called lol

Warning though. Tax in Toronto is 13%. Don't forget to work that into the equation.
