New Two/Tone Sub 116613

It is now available for sale in Greece
MSRP euro 8100 exhange approximately $1.42 ($11,500)
price icludes sales tax or VAT of 19%
(export price $9,300 before discount)
In the USA maybe $10,300, not sure, but actually high,
if you consider that tax will have to be added
The discount available at the moment no more than 25%... if that
as this is a brand new watch and not widely available
also, difficult to get the VAT back for export outside the EU,
because good store clients have first choice and I doubt
that the local AD will be interested to sell it... to an outsider.
I also doubt that they will get more than one watch each

So I guess those who would like to be the "first in the block"
prepare to pay around ..$9,300.-..and possibly more

Icon7 Ad or not to be?

Is $9.300.00 or more the projected AD price or the grey market one?

Seems awfully high when you consider that for about the same price you can get a TT GMT-II with an additional complication. But, some like the simplicity of dial on a Sub versus that of the GMT. At this price point though, I think I'll save a little more and go for the YG DD-II.

Its always been near the equiviliant GMT price, no surprise there.

That is very nice...but that price is crazy...I have to agree that the TT GMT is a better deal considering the movement. Can't wait to see one in person.

I saw one in the Lloret del Mar ( costa brava , Spain ) this week. I personally do not go for TT watches , but have to admitt that it is a good looking watch , it seems more " glossy" and a " richer" blue in the ceramic version .
By the way , they had 2 white dial and on black dial SS daytona in stock at RRP ( 7360 euro) in stock . Not in the window display , but in the Rolex salon wall display along with some master pieces . They are not selling anything at the moment .

AD here in SA said the blue ceramic looks identical to the YG version. It appears to have lost it's royal blue look. I am not a big fan of the bluesy, rather have the black.

this is amazing! i will go absolutely APE the first time I see one in a dealer's window! Same with the black bezel and DJII...

Just out of interest, (i didnt think it had, but someone who preordered one here recently seemed to suggest otherwise) - did you see the glidelock clasp?

I was of the belief that it was going to be the updated fliplock.

WOW i'm exvited now, keep the news coming!

try about a "New York minute," especially with this economy; but in reality it would be this very same time next year when all the "First Gots" have lost their nut on em, then we'll see em for 25 to 30 off MSRP, "Mark My Words" you bunch of WISnuts !

Thanks,
Randy

Good price, Anastosia........US$9,300 translates into around NZ$14,300.

MSRP on that watch here in Auckland is NZ$17,200......so almost 3 grand (Kiwi bucks) off list is not bad.
