called store up north - they offered 20% off with no sals tax - awesome deal!!

went to mayors last night with the wife..they would not come close to that price

wife found a diamond ring she liked..i bid them a package price.. (basically 25% off the total)....im sure they have more markup in rings...i walked out when they didnt get to me price..they called today..we are $200 apart..i might try to meet in the middle...if i do i get my gmt today rather than waiting 4-6 weeks from store up north..we shall see...any advice or opinions?

only get the watch...they have much better margin on ring so shop for it separately

robbonds · 31 October 2009, 05:02 AM

wife loves the ring..25% is decent

Speed · 31 October 2009, 05:23 AM

You can get a great GMT IIc from forum sellers for ~ $5750,,,but no combo deal for your wife. Good luck!! / post pics

submariner16610 · 31 October 2009, 05:28 AM

The gmt creamic you are getting is all steel?? are you sure the ad can give you 20% of that?or maybe you are getting the 2 tone?they can give more discount on the tt,but ss i don't think ad can give 20%??SS gmt2c retail is 7t,so if they give you 20% off,it will just be 5,600usd?and no tax?great deal!!Even the greymarket prices are slightly higher than that....

robbonds · 31 October 2009, 05:54 AM

yes it SS..$5600 out the door...but im probably buying as part of a diamond ring package...

Zgar · 31 October 2009, 05:58 AM

Get it make make the wife happy. you know what they say " It's not a happy home unless the wife is happy" Wise words from a wise man I know...

Nick1959 · 31 October 2009, 05:59 AM

since you are having combo package it cannot be compared with sellers here. If you are happy with it go for it.

robbonds · 31 October 2009, 06:00 AM

the $5600 is not the package deal..thats from a AD out of state....if i dont buy the diamond ring for my wife im gonna order the watch from this AD..sorry if i confused you

Mayors will do 35% off on the ring if you demand it.

I would buy the watch seperate or make sure your getting a real discount on the watch.

robbonds · 31 October 2009, 06:35 AM

If you can get me 35% off with no tax I'll pay you $200 cash

Engi · 31 October 2009, 07:07 AM

Get the GMTIIC and the ring separately.

Engi

Pep04 · 31 October 2009, 07:13 AM

That is a great deal. I bought my SS GMT IIc at mayors and got 10% off on a package deal I also took a Cartier Ballon Blaue for my wife.

Now I think I got ripped off!!!

Take advantage.

submariner16610 · 31 October 2009, 07:42 AM

thats a great deal 5,600 through an ad. gmt2c steel... wow!!get it!!

sleddog · 31 October 2009, 08:27 AM

Sounds like a great deal Rob,jump on it...!! A win win,you get a Rolex and your other half get a ring!!!!
The GMT IIC is a sharp looking watch.......

robbonds · 31 October 2009, 08:32 AM

they want to send it out of state and then have a friend send it back to me...i dont feel comfortable involving other people..why cant they just use out of state adfdress or send the boxes? this is to save on taxes ofcourse..

mkultra · 31 October 2009, 09:12 AM

Is it your friend or their friend ? If it is a friend of the business they would be liable until the watch gets to you right?

robbonds · 31 October 2009, 09:16 AM

They want me to pick someone. I dont want to involve others snd it's a lot of responsibility. If something happens I could be out a lot of money.

Might just go shopping for other rings and order the watch at 20% off from a great ad. With no tax.

stupidugly · 31 October 2009, 09:23 AM

$5600 is a steal. Jump all over it or you'll be kicking yourself later.

scottschoe · 31 October 2009, 09:56 AM

Check your PMs.

ingoodtime · 31 October 2009, 12:01 PM

5600 out the door for the watch is great. I paid more than that, got 15 off plus no interest financing for a year. Felt like i got a good deal, maybe could have been sweeter but a couple hundred bucks amortized over all the years you are going to enjoy your purchase doesn't really put a hurting on you.

Latrodectus · 31 October 2009, 12:02 PM

...very good choice! Get it...

dannyp · 31 October 2009, 12:04 PM

So let me see if I understand, let's say for argument's sake, the total retail price of the watch and ring is $10,000, you offered $7,500 for both, as opposed to offering the equivalent of just 25% off the watch and full retail for the ring, right?

I think the question is whether your wife feels 25% off on the ring is a good deal. If so, then why not buy both together? And, as far as shipping, if it's insured, what's the problem? You can send it to a relative out of state and they can send it right back. Probably won't cost you more than $50 for the whole thing.
