Rolex ad at forum shop in vegas
I went to Vegas last Jan. and i was shopping with my wife at Caesar hotel the forum shop.

i was bored and when my wife went to some cosmetic shop, i stopped by Rolex ad for looking.
the person showing me all of my dream watches were very kind and patient...

i got a quote for GMT2 116710LN Their price was $8305.75

i almost bought it...but my wife stopped me...

and i said i will be back tomorrow~

obliviously, i didn't go back.

later i started to search the price for bnib gmt2

average price was around 7100-7400 from trf

NOW, I purchased GMT2 from this forum with good price.

i just want to thank for trf

i saved over $1000~~~

an i heard ROLEX price went up since this Feb.

is it official?

Congrats on your pick up!

No price increase but you did save money so that's a win!

Now use the savings and get her something. (Feeling generous on a Sunday morning)

You're welcome! Hopefully the $aving$ offset anything your wife purchased.

You still can get your name on the card from TRF sellers.

Huh, I did not know that. Nevertheless, I still like that one-on-one experience and handling the product beforehand. Different values, I guess.

I'm surprised they quoted you this price frankly. Rarely hear of a Vegas AD discounting a model at all. I believe the MSRP is still $8,450.

I bought mine st the Wynn AD. Had it shipped to CA and saved $ in no sales tax. Was worth it to me. My first Rolex (SS SubC w date) and glad I did it at an AD.

Did you buy yours new? How did you get such a deal?
