HI All.

So I've never bought an expensive watch before. I went in to look at Tourneau's in King of Prussia, PA. The AD says the green SubC cannot be ordered and if I ever find one I should buy it right on the spot because they are so exceedingly rare - in other words pay exactly what the AD wants.

I don't mind waiting for a watch and I certainly want the chance to negotiate the price a bit. Is this AD blowing smoke?

Maine Cat.

Yes. Please find another AD.

The 116610LVs are pretty much "everywhere"....

The AD is overexaggerating. They are not that hard to find at all. I actually know of a dealer in PA that has one currently. PM me if you need their contact information.

richardomontres · 5 December 2011, 09:08 AM

here in Paris ( France ) you can find here almost everywhere

Smoke is billowing out of this AD.

Run away.

MoBe · 5 December 2011, 09:11 AM

If you really are looking for one contact one of the sellers here on TRF and you`ll find out how rare they are within a short time.

Thanks everyone - you confirmed my suspicion.

They are a regular production item. Any reputable Authorized Dealer should be able to order one for you..

Don't expect to get much off the suggested retail price though

It is not "exceedingly rare," but is is certainly not the most common Rolex either. Your best bet is to buy it for a nice discount from one of the trusted sellers on the forum.

I agree; I don't see them as often in the AD showcases, but they can be easily had through the trusted sellers here

Darlinboy · 5 December 2011, 09:57 AM

Seek another AD.

nch209 · 5 December 2011, 10:31 AM

They are awesome watches, but no, not rare. I know of two sitting in the cases right now in Northen VA... and the one AD offered a slight discount as he was unware I bought a new one via TRF.

superdog · 5 December 2011, 10:48 AM

they are supposedly a limited edition and i received the same information from my AD. however, after further experiences with them, i have found another.

you can find tons and tons on ebay. both new and used. the sellers tend to try and get a premium, but it does not appear to be working.

Mennald · 5 December 2011, 10:58 AM

The AD in Naperville, Illinois has one in their showcase.

The AD in Orland Park, Illinois didn't have one in their showcase but offered to sell me "the one in the vault" after I purchased a DDII.

Limited edition? Hardly so. However, i do believe there are fewer LV's than LN's. YMMV.

liptonnr · 5 December 2011, 11:51 AM

I have been to that Tourneau many times...if their mouth is moving they are lying. An AD in exton pa has one. Pm me for the name, if interested!

opaline460 · 5 December 2011, 12:11 PM

I was there this afternoon too, the guy told me they dont offer any discounts, but 18 months 0% and 20% off on your next purchase.

MortgageGuy · 5 December 2011, 12:50 PM

Regular production Rolex and in every AD I have been to as of late. Not a problem finding one anywhere... At AD, on line, here at TRF... You get the picture.

I would find a new AD

COBill · 6 December 2011, 10:31 PM

Around here the SS GMT IIc is much rarer than the LV Sub, but even it's readily available.

The only new "buy it if you can find it (and if they'll sell it to you)" Rolex I know of is the SS Daytona.

Find another AD. LV's are just about in every AD.

pwnageinc · 6 December 2011, 11:24 PM

I am from that area as well. Torneau always tries to pressure sale. If you check the forums you will find tons.
