I didn't ask if there was a discount or anything. Taxes are 13% on top. I would bet they would come down at least 15% but I don't know for sure

Take it off. Nothing will ever measure up. Or buy it, because you'll never forget it. Personal experience speaking here.

Thanks. I'd have to sell a couple of cars for that though. The watch would likely be a better investment. I like the look of the rose gold one better to be honest. I don't care for the colour of the bezel. Cool watch though

I got 7% off of list on my BLNR with a cash deal. That's a popular model so that's all I could get. I got 20% off of my wife's YM 35mm for a cash deal. That's all I know

That is in indeed a beautiful watch. However in that price range we are talking about an entire spectrum of options when it comes to luxury watches. I'm thinking Patek for sure.

I have never seen the platinum Daytona in an AD and I've been in a 10 of them in the last few months. Are they really that rare or do I just have bad luck?

They don't leave them out on display. A gentleman was looking at it and then left. The rep let me try it on after that

It was in the display case of my AD, and he simply took it out and strapped it on me, it was surreal but my account wasn't at that moment.

The weight is very assuring, I love it to bits.
