Ben Bridge - Seattle - 4th

Visited today and saw the normal dj/dd/pm case fixtures.

BUT

For anyone looking for a sub date or non they have both in the back.

They also claim to have sold a blnr & Black skydweller yesterday so imho these “hard” to get pieces are out and about if you want to put the work in folks.

Hope this post can help a fellow forum member.

Good info.

Not to hijack your thread OP, but I could use some help from you all regarding Ben Bridge servicing and other questions. Started a thread under "it's time."

Thanks

I hate Ben bridge, they do waitlist, vip and all the bs that you hate about buying watches plus the near 10% tax. They won’t let you near the good stuff without telling you about the 5 year wait. If you can make trip go south to Oregon, save money on tax, and go to the Mom and pop.

Go to Nesbit, it’s probably cheaper, faster, and better service. Sent an omega planet ocean there once before I sold it, I was satisfied

For a watch tech, Eric in the Tacoma BB has the highest certs in the area, and is also a great guy to talk to. they (The Tacoma store)are no longer an AD, but because the chain is, the have access to Rolex parts. Lists kinda are a fact of life- I know I was on BB list for a whole stinking Month before I walked out of the 4th Ave store with a 116520 Daytona. Had to pay full retail and tax too-$6609.60. Life is kind of a game-figure it out and have fun playing it

Seattle BB will go for that?

Bit of a game changer if so - I have a mail order AD east coast, but then again I am subject to their lists and inventory availability.

They mailed my wife’s OP back to the Midwest for us to save the tax. I found them to be pleasant and knowledgeable. I’d buy from them again.

Many dealers now will send out of state to customers to save the tax. I've seen that in multiple stores especially Vegas.

Last time I was there in Downtown Seattle they have Subs and GMTs. When I inquired about Daytona C, they mentioned they held a raffle for lucky drawees (around five) a few weeks earlier. But these raffles were given only to their VIP customers.
