Fess up? Who is going tonight to pick up some more.

mfer · 1 March 2008, 08:33 AM

Me, still in the GD mail!!!!!

Welshwatchman · 1 March 2008, 08:34 AM

I had one eye on a possible price increase when I got the 116400.

seanneok11 · 1 March 2008, 08:35 AM

i dont know if it was worth it but i bought a gold presidents with diamond dial. Also put a down payment on a all gold daytona yellow gold.

vh_bu98 · 1 March 2008, 08:35 AM

I bought my platinum YM on Jan. 31st for 10% off, no tax and free shipping out of state. I probably would have waited a little longer but I wanted to have it before my vacation.

Defiancekofb · 1 March 2008, 08:39 AM

I bought my TT Daytona M Series on 2/22/08, 10% and no tax.

Hammer · 1 March 2008, 08:40 AM

Got a Non-Date Sub today.

Was in a few AD's, including Rolex in New Bond Street.They've all said that the Watches have been flying out the door, due to the imminent price increase.

BTW, Bo, thanks for the heads up if you are around.I may not have got my a*se in gear and got one otherwise

fwellers · 1 March 2008, 08:41 AM

Me, I'll be laying away an SD tomorrow. It'll be my last new Rolex.

Markg · 1 March 2008, 08:41 AM

i bought a WG Daytona w/meteorite dial and brown strap. AD ASSURRED me that i would get the old price, but it isnt here yet, so we will see.....

crimscrem · 1 March 2008, 08:48 AM

I bought a TT DJ as a gift for my dad. Didn't need it until the summer, but figured why not go ahead and beat the price increase. Put it on layaway.

etp095 · 1 March 2008, 08:51 AM

i bought a ss sub w/date and gmt II pepsi last month.the looming price increase prompted me to buy,i'm looking at a polar epy II today.

krattzz · 1 March 2008, 08:53 AM

Mark,

Aren't you happy now? Your bottom line... you saved like $425. And, the watch went up in price!

Thankfully, the Milgauss didn't go up that much... just $300. Can't wait to get my hands on the GV!

DoxaDavid · 1 March 2008, 08:57 AM

Didn't buy my GMTIIc because of the price increase but feel pretty great about the fact that I DID buy it last week!

tandrup · 1 March 2008, 08:58 AM

I bought a White Expy II yesterday.

krism06 · 1 March 2008, 09:01 AM

SD on Wenesday still in the mail.

evy411nia · 1 March 2008, 09:05 AM

Bought two in two weeks, Explorer II and SD. Both from a solid Gray dealer for $4,200 & $4,600 including shipment (no tax of course). Would have bought more to keep in the safe and re-sell after the 2009 price increase had I put more thought into it. $6,225 for a SD is nuts...No way I buy from an AD.

Hey Steve,

How are you. Yes, I am happy I didn't settle with being 3rd in line at the original AD and saved more then $425. Got the GMT for $5,397 including shipping and no tax. BUT I feel bad for everyone and that my next Rolex will be much more costly.

kcmo · 1 March 2008, 09:21 AM

I bought my diamond DJ at the end of December. Hate to think what it will cost now!

Tarheel · 1 March 2008, 09:22 AM

TT lady DJ, Jubilee bracelet and serti dial on 2/9; SS Explorer I on 2/22. When I bought the first one, I had no idea a price increase was coming. We went ahead and bought the EXP for my husband now even though it is a couple of months before his birthday to beat the price increase. Trying to keep myself busy at work so I don't cave and go buy a yacht master tonight.

BiG JeEzY · 1 March 2008, 09:23 AM

Congratulations to all those who made the purchase right before another price increase!

gha · 1 March 2008, 09:24 AM

Sounds like "Flippage" for some profiteers????......gha

seantk · 1 March 2008, 09:37 AM

I bought my Sea Dweller on Wednesday. I was planning to buy, but initially I was going to wait until Basel... but price increase made me buy now. I am glad I did

frostie · 1 March 2008, 09:41 AM

I bought my GMT II C 37 days ago.
does it count?

It doesn't matter much cause prices here are really high so it's not a bargain for me

Courmayeur1 · 1 March 2008, 09:58 AM

Platty & Milgauss last week was looking at a Sub no date today but missed it by 1 hour...

mike · 1 March 2008, 10:46 AM

I'll admit the thought crossed my mind when I got the 14060M last month in Hawaii. I honestly didn't expect that much of a jump though.

mousie · 1 March 2008, 11:01 AM

I just purchased a Submariner today ... I was told tomorrow it will be $850 more.
