SS GMT II C on Wednesday - What's included?

[CanadianWookie]

So, I just gave an AD nearby a call, and asked to set up an appointment to look at the GMT IIC in SS this Wednesday. Why Wednesday? It's a long story. I've seen this watch a number of times and I can't get it out of my mind! I hate you ROLEX!!!

After reading all of the posts the last few weeks on TRF, I decided that this would probably be the best time to "take the plunge" and get myself a Rolex (given the state of the economy, potential price increase soon etc.) I am going to offer cash, so if the price is right (hopefully 15-20% off list) I should be walking away with my very *FIRST* Rolex.

I am very excited, and am looking forward to Wednesday. I've decided that owning a quality Rolex watch at least once in one's lifetime is a life "necessity" ...something one should do before they kick the bucket!

So I had a few questiions for TRF members out there (especially if you have purchased a SS GMT IIC recently):

1. What exactly is included with the purchase? From what I understand, you get a watch , a box, owner manuals, owner's card (credit card style...), bezel protector, Rolex "tags" and possibly a cloth to clean the watch.

2. Do you get a COSC certificate?

3. Should I make sure that all of the protective stickers on the clasp and sides of the watch are still on? Should the price be lower if it is not on?

4. Are there any specific serial numbers I should be looking for (i.e. the year it was manufactured, the country it was originally sent to etc?). I live in Canada, so I am not sure whether it matters or not that it was delivered in Canada, or manufactured in 2008 or 2009 etc.

5. Are there any other "extras" that I should ask for?

6. If offering cash, is 15-20% discount off of MSRP reasonable in this economic climate? I live in Canada, so I am not sure if it is as similar to our U.S. neighbours.

7. Is there *anything* else that I am missing, that I should make sure I look into?

==> Sorry for all of the questions, but this will be my first time buying a Rolex, and I want to make sure that I've covered all bases. This forum is AWESOME, and I have read a wealth of great information and knowledge from all the Rolex "veterans" on TRF. Any helpful information and/or advice would be sincerely appreciated.

By the end of the week, if I have indeed made the purchase, I promise to post a lot of pictures of the watch on TRF!

Thanks again!!!
