Mainly, it depends on the AD. Those in smaller markets and not in malls seem to be the most flexible. Less overhead I guess. My motis operendi is to be warm and nice to the AD asnd explain how much I like the watches, but I can only afford to pay so much. Buying two or three at a time also helps. As my mom used to say, easier to catch flies with honey than with vinegar. I think no one should be paying full SR right now (especially in the US). If you need the contact info for my AD, PM me. Congrats on your graduation (from law school?). Where did you graduate from? |

I'll be in contact with you about your AD. I am similar with ADs when I get ready for a purchase. I think I'm about to get a SD in a trade, so may not be purchasing much in the immediate future, but hopefully the TT or SS ceramic sub when both are out (so as to compare). Hopefully the previous GMT purchase and the potential Sub purchase will warrant 20%, if not more.

I think this post has to be some kind of record for a "should I buy" topic. 475 threads, 21 pages and it's not done. We are a boring lot..
Good luck consumating your sale.

Well, my wife said, "If you want to buy those three Rolexes, than I want the deck off our bedroom screened in."
Sounds like a fair deal to me :) |

I would demand a steep discount and one of those nice green rolex crown paperweights that of course could be sent to me, cause I really need a paperweight. The dewat pineapple complaint weight is getting stale

i have a feeling the day this BIG transaction is supposed to happen.... one of the following things will take place..
--the ad will go out of business --someone will lose their job --a minor car accident on the way to the ad --a problem with a clasp on one of the watches --forgot to bring my wallet --ad sold all 3 watches 1 minute before he got there for 20,005.00 --changed his mind while he was at the ad because his wife phoned him to tell him that all the members at trf decided to buy all 3 watches for him.... |

Hi Brian.... I haven't checked this thread in a few days.
Big Congrats on the 3 for 20k!!!! What a deal! Can't wait to first see pics and then one in on your wrist as we are celebrating over a beer! Now... listen to me Brian .... do not let your wife wear ANY of your watches. I don't let my GF touch mine. If you do.... all of a sudden they will 'become' hers. Buy her her own Rolex's. Like your underwear .... keep your watches separate. |

Well has the AD come through or at least given you a more solid idea. I find it hard to believe that the AD doesn't know when his order is coming in especially since he is in close proximity to RUSA. I think we are all waiting to see your good fortune.
Got to agree with Pav once your wife wears them they are going to be hers. Last edited by watchdawg; 9 April 2009 at 11:42 PM.. Reason: addition |

Sorry this caused you so much angst! Thank you for your good wishes. Deciding whether I should go pick them up today, or wait until tomorrow. I'm a little nervous about the whole thing, I hope you understand.
