In 1996 I purchased an Oyster Perpetual Datejust in stainless steel and 18K gold, dial set with 10 diamonds, fluted bezel and jubilee bracelet from the AD. The MSRP was 6750.00 at that time and I paid 6000.00 out the door. The MSRP is now 9525.00 over 10 years later (of course the bracelet is design is nicer today). What did you pay and when?

A. Jacobs · 6 February 2007, 02:15 PM

I paid $5,075-nearly full retail-for my SS Sub 2 months ago.

No deals where you live? I just made my second purchase, a TT 16613 Sub with the diamond markers and steel dial. MSRP 9975.00, 9000.00 out the door from an AD.

No. My AD said that Rolex did not allow them to give discounts-I heard this from 2 different ADs. I did get $100.00 off for paying caash though.

Just paid $5525 for a new Sub LV from an AD. No sales tax and the AD paid for the shipping and insurance.

In Hong Kong 8 December 2006, paid $3250 for a new Explorer 1 and $3450 for a new Sub No-Date.

He won't deal over the net...he's made that perfectly clear to me. If you want a watch "cheap", you would have to come to Auckland!!

The airfare from the East Coast of America to New Zealand would bankrupt me.

1970, divorce #1

I assume you know why a divorce is so expensive.

Because it's worth it!

Damn! Sorry to hear about that, Al

How come you can even afford a Rolex then?

I for my part am by no means "by no means" (

Hmm, I don't think I am getting this right: I mean I don't have much money!

funny) but I set my priorities towards ROLEX and DUNHILL PIPES. After that come the women, but I get some time for them, too, it seems

Tombstone · 6 February 2007, 03:48 PM

Alcan,

OUCH, I feel your pain, a buddy of mine at work is on his sixth, yes his sixth divorce. He is actually thinking of saying I do again. He says he likes buying houses for women.

You should see the houses, cars and watches my ex'es and their lawyers have!

They are great housekeepers. They always keep the house in a divorce.
