Icon5 Last minute dilemma - need you guys!

Hi all

Looking to purchase a dj White dial roman numerals, fluted bezel on jubilee bracelet.

I have just had confirmation prices are going up 1 June.

I am flying abroad next month and the AD at the airport doesn't have this model so they won't let me preorder, this would have saved me 20%! they are seeing if they can get hold of one.

No AD in London is likely to give me any discount on this steel model, with the price increase happening in a couple of days, what on earth shall I do?

I have been offered other alternative models at the airport but I have my heart set on that particular watch.

If that's the one you want, then it might be best to be willing to spend a bit more to get it.

On the serious side, ansharma do you definitely have to get it from an AD?

I realize you want an AD. I suggest PMing DavidSW and see what happens.

Id be shocked if you could not find an AD to give some discount
on a SS DJ, nice watch and great choice but the SS DJ is not
the power seller like the Daytona, SUB-C or GMT IIC

Have they got another DJ at the AD? What about a dial change.

When I got mine, I was told I could have a free dial change within the first 3 months.

You are mistaken. The DJ is Rolex's workhorse sold more than any other model available.

The UK Market is completely different to the US, very difficult to get any discount on ss models.
