Went to one of my AD's today...!

[Bisquitlips]

So, I was in Overland Park Kansas today and stopped by one of my AD's at lunch. There I was amazed to see over 100 Rolex's in the display case and that is not to mention what they obviously had in the back room safe.

The first one that caught my eye was a WG Daytona with the Metorite Dial. Just superb in every way. I asked the sales person to make me the best price possible and he quoted me $27,400.00 down from their MSRP of $34000.00 and some change. I passed.

After that I went on to the TT Bluesy!!! They wouldn't budge off the $9300.00 MSRP. Not a penny. Not a shilling. Not a shekel!

So on to the Platty. Quoted best price was $$9975.00 (I think they make up their own MSRP's). No budge here either!

From their I visited the Panerai showcase and inquired about a PAM 88 GMT. Their price was $7488.00 firm, but they would have to order me one as the one they had in stock was held with a deposit. 6 months was their estimated wait.

I got the feeling that they haven't sold a Rolex in weeks and that they didn't care. I think someday soon they will.

If I was an AD and had over 100 Rolex's in my case with no other customer in the shop but one that was showing some serious interest, I believe I would have made every effort to send that customer off with one. Alas, I live in a fantasy world!
