No price increase for me!

[CPTL]

Wanna know how to beat a price increase? It's a simple two-step process:

1. Buy now, before the increase hits on Saturday
2. Enlist the help of Buz, the king of making a deal.

It works.

Fellow TRFers, I am now the proud owner of a brand new, M-serial Explorer-II with a gleaming white dial. This is my third Rolex, but my first BNIB from an AD. It's still got the plastic.

I would like to publicly, loudly, and sincerely thank Buz. About a week ago I put a feeler out in sales corner for an Exp-II. I'm in Iraq, coming back in a few weeks. I really wanted a new Exp-II before the price increase. Buz responded, and within a couple of days he had one for me at his trusted AD in Georgia. He negotiated the price at $4500 for a Z-serial BNIB, and arranged shipping. I wired him the funds.

Buz delivered almost as promised. When he went to pick up the watch, Buz talked the AD out of an M-serial that they had just received, and got them to throw in out-of-state insured shipping--all for the originally quoted price of $4500.

THANKS, BUZ!!

Now, I'm on cloud nine!!

Without further ado...(better pics will follow)
