I did go to Joseph's, and they took $8000 out the door. I feel like I did well, thanks everyone!

Great watch, good choice!

kamonjj · 26 March 2016, 04:00 PM

Id be patient and find one used in the 6500 range that is the full kit and in very good condition.

I would still opt for the $400+ discount from a trusted seller on TRF whether BNIB or pre-owned.

Congrats to the OP on the new SubC.

Ticknaway · 26 March 2016, 08:43 PM

Regardless of how you go it's an awesome gift for yourself especially at 22!

travisb · 26 March 2016, 09:08 PM

Congrats Wes! You got a very good deal from an AD and I'm sure they are happy to earn your business. Enjoy your Sub!

1William · 26 March 2016, 09:27 PM

Congratulations. Great watch.

RichM · 26 March 2016, 10:19 PM

Congrats Wes.

Wear it in good health.

jbenjamin1 · 26 March 2016, 10:21 PM

You did very well! Congrats!

Congratulations Wes, looks great on you. Welcome to the forum.

theken · 26 March 2016, 10:27 PM

Enjoy the 116610...perfect choice in my opinion.

droptopman · 26 March 2016, 10:32 PM

Welcome to forum Wes, congratulations 🎉.
Great choice on a classic model.
Buying your first from an AD is cool. If you decide to add to the collection down the road you can check with a trusted dealer as you can generally save a few bucks and it's very convenient and easy.
Enjoy that new Submariner 👍🏻

Patton250 · 26 March 2016, 10:48 PM

Great watch at a great price from your AD. 22 years old too!!!! Nice job Wes!!!! Now you have a relationship with your AD and that's a good thing. Enjoy!!!!

DoraTheExplorerII · 26 March 2016, 10:53 PM

Congratulations! And that is a really good price. I would've done the same and bought from the AD 1000x over than to save a relatively measly amount buying off the internet. You get the watch instantly, you get the bracelet sized properly for you, and peace of mind most of all if something somehow goes wrong.

Racerdj · 26 March 2016, 10:54 PM

Congratulations! Looks great on your wrist too.

jrs146 · 26 March 2016, 11:27 PM

Go with the AD. It may cost a bit more but you will establish a relationship which will come in handy for adjustments etc. also you very well may get more off your next one which could make up any difference in cost now

It is so wierd, that you have never been into a Jewelry store, let alone a Rolex AD! I mean all of a sudden one day, for some reason, this cornfield guy, you...lol, wants to buy a Rolex Watch!

It is so out of the ordinary, that you and I, and many others, have similar stories where at some point in our lives, it is just the thing that us as men need to do.

Congrat's on a beautiful Piece, and an experience that will last you a lifetime...!

If you can visit Holland; there are really good prices after getting tax back at the airport:

etp095 · 27 March 2016, 01:12 AM

Congrats! I've bought a few watches from them. I received great discounts from them, then no tax when shipped out of state.

MCO1 · 27 March 2016, 01:35 AM

Seems like a great price, if there is tax that is another chunk. The AD experience can be nice but having the experience twice, it isn't worth the premium over gray market and pre-owned. If you think you will keep the first one then going AD might be worth it. In the end you are looking at most $1500 difference so probably not enough to sweat it over if you are spending this much on a watch anyway. Just enjoy!
