10% off or Retail
If you had the opportunity to get a 10% discount on a subc date available in stock or a hulk with no discount and have to wait until it becomes available which one would you go with ?

It would depend on which one I wanted more and what else was in my collection.
If you got the sub now, would you feel like it was "settling?" |

Green does nothing for me. Unless its money. So the sub for me.

i would get the watch i wanted most, regardless of the deal. Especially so because we are not talking massive discounts.

OP specifically asks if you had the choice "which would you go with"? It was a question. He didn't ask what should I do.

You really think he was taking a general interest poll to satisfy his academic curiosity about what the population of the board thinks? The subtext is pretty clear he was looking for input about what he should do.

Agree that you must get the watch you really want the most regardless of the deal.
If you really want the SubC then it's a great deal. However, if your hearts set on a Hulk then the SubC will always feel like a compromise and you may never really be happy with it. Worse, you may end up even resenting it which would be a shame. Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk

Get the one you want otherwise you’re going to feel like you want more.

X2. Forget money. You know you want a LVc after you have seen it. It’s one of those looks that will stir deep inside you that price of entry is just a minor detai in the journey of ownership. Of all the Rolex models, the old expression “if I have to explain, you wouldn’t understand” applies best to the LVc.

I wouldn't buy a watch based on a 10 percent discount. I would buy the watch I wanted most and if I was fortunate enough that it was the one that was being discounted, call myself lucky.

Go with the one you like better. For me, it's the SubC but it depends if you want black or green. Buy once, cry once

As for which one to get, assuming you can afford either, get the one you like best. If you prefer the Hulk, but get one you don't like as well just because it's available now for less money, you won't be happy with your choice. Ask yourself how you'll feel after you've owned the watch for six months. |
