WG Sub deal?
Hello, just bought my "grail" watch. New WG Sub. I traded in my SS Daytona and paid 24k. The AD picked up the taxes. Wondering if this is considered a decent deal. Oh yea, love the watch.

Not sure if that's a "deal" or not, and what does it matter now?
Enjoy your new watch and don't "Monday morning quarterback" the deal. Btw, the WG Sub is my grail as well. Show us some pics and welcome aboard! |

Congrats on a nice watch.
  Considering you only got $4,375 for your Daytona I don't know if I would have done it. |

You paid $24k and gave up your Daytona?

I certainly agree with the general sentiment that this was a terrible deal…the WG Sub can be had LNIB from a trusted seller through TRF for around $25-26K. Therefore, you received very little (if any) real value from the Daytona in this trade. Sorry to hear, but since the deal is done, I hope you are able to shift your focus to the enjoyment of your new Sub…it is truly an amazing watch...

Congrats to you on the watch and congrats to your AD. Better to consult before a purchase than after.

Welcome to TRF. The deal is done...was it great, no....but you have your grail, so enjoy it! Many avenues you could have taken, with an AD you have the best chance of future problems being handled to your satisfaction IMHO.

The AD did pay the taxes - don't know the rate in DC but (for example) 6% on 25k is $1500. For future purchases (and there will be if you're like most here), consider trusted sellers here. If you're curious (and maybe you shouldn't be) you could plug in your Sub's watch reference # into the "For Sale" section here and see what LNIB is going for. Frankly, I wouldn't, but you can see many other great deals there. |
