Rolex in the family...
Looks like my minor obsession with Rolex has finally rubbed off on other members off my family...
Spoke to my brother earlier today - he's just bagged himself his 1st Rollie. A nice new SS GMT II and at the same time a TT Ladydate with diamond markers for my sister-in-law also her 1st. The deal for both models 10% off list which I thought was a pretty good one and proof that the SS GMT II bubble won't last long. I'll try and get him to post pics when he collects them both at the weekend. |

yes i told him that was a good deal - bound to get better in a while - but considering it's such a new model I thought that was pretty good - obviously the 2 watch purchase helped...

Yeah, of course it helps to buy TWO watches at a time to get a discount. But still! Pretty amazing!

by the way given our recent thread about SS Daytonas kept in the safe for big spenders he did ask if there was any chance getting a SS Daytona at the same time as these 2... they just laughed and said - sorry mega waiting list...
Seems £7.5k ish isn't enough to do the trick... |

Most AD only sell Daytonas to long-established customers. And even if you bought for 100,000 £ he still wouldn't have one. That "safe" thing is dubious IMHO.

Yes, it does help. I just ordered two last week at my local AD. Got 15% off the wife's rose gold TT DJ and 19% off my SS TOG.
