Cash or charge sir?

Just curious, how many of you paid cash for your Rolex? I am nearly finished saving for a new ceramic Sub.

You don't have to go into debt to use a credit card, I always charge mine and pay it off when I get the bill. Why not get 5-10K miles per watch? I've funded many an airline upgrade through my obsession with Rolex!

I would use cash if the incentive was better, ie: a lower price...

I always wondered what it would feel like to bring in 7k in 100's to the AD....but it seems the credit card incentives make paying with cash a net loss...
Also, isn't credit so much easier?

Still paying it off.........anyone lend me a dime

If you don't have the money to buy it, then don't buy it - that's my motto.

This.

If the store would offer a sufficient discount for cash or non-AMEX card, then, I'd go for that, of course.
