Just got a call from an AD saying a "V" serial GV was available.

I told him the market is down on them right now and got him whittled down to 6K shipped, no tax.

Needless to say, it's on it's way to me next week.

Congrats!!! You an I seem to be on the same page. I got my Daytona and GV within 3 days. You are close to that!

Another great piece for your collection!

I will be traveling to Australia sometime in the next year. Maybe I can negotiate a pit stop to NZ.

Do let me know when you're coming. It would be a pleasure to meet up with you over a few rounds of beer!!

CONGRATS, just tried to get a discount, they were not hearing it. They had a couple of customers lined up just in case I denied it. Luck you!

Yeah, discounts are pretty unheard of on the GV.

I can't wait to see pic's of yours!

I wanted to apologize if anyone took offense at this thread. I thought about it and it seems that it could be taken as a "show-off", "look at what I can do" type of thing and that wasn't my intention at all. I was excited to finally catch a break and get a Rolex at below msrp by a good margin and didn't think about the feelings of others on the Forum.

So if any were offended, I sincerely apologize!

swatty · 9 November 2008, 03:54 PM

Congrats on a nice purchase Felly

x3 NO need to apologize... it's always nice to hear when good things happen to good people. And after all, when someone on the forum gets a good deal, we all benefit (pics, thoughts, review,...)... and it reinforce to many (or at least, to me) the belief that DEALS CAN AND DO HAPPEN at ADs!

Enjoy the moment!

Dubai · 9 November 2008, 04:26 PM

Congarts !! that's really good deal !!

Lol-x · 9 November 2008, 11:07 PM

That is a sweet price.

Eli · 10 November 2008, 01:54 AM

I'd buy it if my dollar was as strong as two months ago. Right now it would cost me 1200$ more then in september!

rob · 10 November 2008, 04:04 AM

after what you went through with your GMT II you deserve a break! Congrats!

Chozn1 · 10 November 2008, 04:08 AM

Yeah, I took it as a note on the market rather than an attempt at showing off. If you can arrange a discount on something hard to get, all the best.

stevemulholland3 · 10 November 2008, 05:39 AM

well I for one am very offended!!
how dare you get a good deal...

congrats..
