My new second favorite watch!

Had told AD to give a call when He got one in. Got the call this morning and 2 hours later I was home with this.

thank you.

Had been looking at all the posts featuring this baby and was starting to get anxious. AD's call came just on time as I was just about to start calling around elsewhere.


The added weight the solid links puts the weight of this watch dead on, for me anyways. First SS and it's about time.


Box is Venlo for those who are curious.

Very, very nice! Excellent taste in both the watches and their home. Have any ideas on what you'd like next?

Good question. What i would really really want is a WG daytona but i'll most likely end up with an SS one since the WG's are way up there$$ One from the next "shipment" has my name on it. However AD is marking them up and that's a piss off ...considering the amount of $$ i've spent there over the years. Sales rep. told me that once we are sitting the owner will likely let go at MRSP with a little coaxing. We'll see

Also looking to get a friend for my breitling and will most likely be a navitimer.

Nice watch EvEr34 and wonder how much it cost in Ottawa?
I went to my AD in Vancouver BC last Friday. They also had one in the safe. The manager open it up and show me the watch from a clear plastic box wrap with a elastic band. She said it is a Virgin.
If I ready to buy it today I can have it. But the ticket price is $7720 plus 13% tax. Wow it is expensive.
I try it on and really like it
I told her I will wait till the Milgauss arrive and make the decision to get either one.

Congrat and wear in good health

i paid $7620.00 + Gst only + They gave a $200.00 store credit on something else i might need at a later date.


It's up there but that's the price. Was shown to me in the very same plastic box. AD told that they are now all shipped this way. They ship the watch and the boxes separately to save on shipping. Guess the boxes are shipped bulk or something.

Anyways, I love the watch so for me it was worth every penny.

That's sweet at least you save the 7% PST.
I bought my LV couple years ago I save the 6% GST from the same AD. The pervious Manager was gone so can't get that offer anymore.

cheers
