Cash

AMEX - Tons of Reward Points; double the manufacturer's warranty; and the best consumer protection out there should something go awry. Pay if off with the next bill in full.

Frankie13 · 27 April 2010, 09:14 PM

CCard for points and then pay it of before the billing period ends!

Jason71 · 27 April 2010, 09:16 PM

Wire-transfer straight to DavidSW = CASH = great value and smooth transaction

Cash for my watches

swissautopro · 27 April 2010, 09:51 PM

Cash.

Kiddodoc · 27 April 2010, 09:59 PM

CASH! No need to get interest tagged onto the purchase but I understand that many don't have the cash thus putting it on a CC. As long as it doesn't put the hurt on to pay for it that way, then it's all good.

Mystro · 27 April 2010, 11:06 PM

Purchasing with a Credit Card is a much smarter way to buy. You have A LOT more leverage if the deal or item is defective. Buying items in cash means nothing. A 0% store lay away or 0% interest free for 6 months promotion is the best way, if you can find it. Credit Cards are great as long as you know how to use them and pay them off. Just be smart about it.

R1@160@alltimes · 27 April 2010, 11:48 PM

Cash money

TRW · 27 April 2010, 11:50 PM

a thousand down on Amex when i placed the order,then paid it off with Amex when my watch came in.had to pay my Amex in full when i got the bill

al_bongo · 28 April 2010, 12:00 AM

Cash against my better judgement. No discount (not unusual in the UK). Years interest free credit would probably have been more sensible.

dalip · 28 April 2010, 12:06 AM

not again....

DRAWTOOL · 28 April 2010, 12:13 AM

Cash, then Cash again and again more Cash.....

You are sooooo correct. This is what I do.

Also somebody said u get "tons" of discounts if u paid cash.

I did a little research and a majority of ADs charged 3% MORE for AMEX. I found my AD and not only did he give me a NICE discount (less than a lot of other ADs-- 20%--and no tax--plus watch winder), He did not charge me for AMEX (Cash price) usage

..

Do your research and use your cards for YOUR BENEFIT (POINTS REWARDS)/Then payoff without interest.

CZ

**Remember YOU DONT PAY INTEREST if you pay your card off on time and YOU GET INSURANCE/LEVERAGE for a "BAD" purchase.

mborner · 28 April 2010, 01:14 AM

12 months, same as cash. Other people's money, for free.

springbar · 28 April 2010, 01:22 AM

Unless it gets me a discount, I never pay in cash. When purchasing my last watch, it became clear that cash money (already in my pocket) wasn't going to make any difference on price, so out came the credit card instead.

I don't carry a balance, of course. I use a CC for the consumer protections it offers.

zseriessub · 28 April 2010, 01:39 AM

Debit - Walking around with that much cash is a little unnerving.

Lion · 28 April 2010, 02:14 AM

I payed in cash for both my Rolexes!!!

Rich2putt · 28 April 2010, 03:11 AM

Hard Cash

RSubSS · 28 April 2010, 03:15 AM

Cash. But i wanted one so bad at one point i almost did the CC....i wont lie...

dbhmgb · 28 April 2010, 03:21 AM

I try to get "X Months same as cash" deals - if not it's credit card and paid off when the bill comes due...

jekuo · 28 April 2010, 06:30 AM

mfer · 28 April 2010, 07:21 AM
