WG Sub deal?

[LR DC]

Hello, just bought my "grail" watch. New WG Sub. I traded in my SS Daytona and paid 24k. The AD picked up the taxes. Wondering if this is considered a decent deal. Oh yea, love the watch.

[crew]

Not sure if that's a "deal" or not, and what does it matter now?
Enjoy your new watch and don't "Monday morning quarterback" the deal.

Btw, the WG Sub is my grail as well.
Show us some pics and welcome aboard!

Congrats on a nice watch.

Considering you only got $4,375 for your Daytona I don't know if I would have done it.

[kieselguhr]

Congrats on obtaining your grail!
As long you're happy. I wouldn't dwell on it too much.

Apparently, you felt good about it and pulled the trigger. . The question will only make you feel bad.

[brettpaul]

Yes, I think the AD got a GREAT DEAL.....sorry, was that not the question?

Not a fantastic deal for you but you got the watch that you want, so enjoy it.

This guy did you a service and answered the question asked.

The AD did pay the taxes - don't know the rate in DC but (for example) 6% on 25k is $1500.

For future purchases (and there will be if you're like most here), consider trusted sellers here. If you're curious (and maybe you shouldn't be) you could plug in your Sub's watch reference # into the "For Sale" section here and see what LNIB is going for. Frankly, I wouldn't, but you can see many other great deals there.

Wow, tough crowd! Listen, you got an amazing watch and did better than retail. Tons of people walk into Rolex boutiques and pay retail, which I believe is about $37K now, not including taxes, for the white gold Sub. That doesn't mean they all got bad deals. Plus you got it from an AD with all stickers, etc … Enjoy a great watch!

+1. Its like when you trade in your old car to purchase a new one. You are always going to get a "better" deal if you had sold your old car privately instead of trading it in to your dealer. For me, I don't mind not getting the "best" deal because I value my time and prefer the convenience.

[SWISSAHOLICS]

That does not sound like a deal my friend....I'm sorry.

[datejust24]

ew man...i dont need to say it again...but...
and not only that but I dunno if your a one watch kinda guy but if your buying a WG Sub...why not just hold on to the Daytona?

I certainly agree with the general sentiment that this was a terrible deal…the WG Sub can be had LNIB from a trusted seller through TRF for around $25-26K. Therefore, you received very little (if any) real value from the Daytona in this trade. Sorry to hear, but since the deal is done, I hope you are able to shift your focus to the enjoyment of your new Sub…it is truly an amazing watch...

What does the watch book for? That is how to judge it... not everyone gets below retail... Yes he could have likely got a better deal but walking into an AD with a trade, well, you will never get a really good deal that way anyway - If the watch books for $28k or more I would say he did OK...

Congrats to you on the watch and congrats to your AD. Better to consult before a purchase than after.

+1 Enjoy the watch, try not to think about the Daytona... They essentially took it off your hands for free.

Lesson learned though. Congrats on the new watch!
