Strongly Considering a New SS Sub - any words of wisdom?

[j1224]

Hey Guys -

Today is actually a said day for me...on my last visit to this forum I was the owner of a beautiful datejust - of which i was selling to purchase a sub. Sold the datejust, but never did pull the trigger on the sub....so i have been wearing a swiss army ever since (i know). I guess it worked out well in a way because I am definitely in favor of every update made to the SS Sub. The only problem I am having is the hefty 8,000 sticker at my AD plus 6.25% sales tax. I have gone to multiple AD's and have tried multiple forms of negotiating, I can not even find an AD to credit me enough on the watch to eat up the sales tax. I agree in the grand scheme of things...that there is no difference between 8,000 and 8500...but that is not whats keeping me from buying....

I would love to know if people in this forum actually feel the watch is worth the price in general...any thoughts either way would be greatly appreciated...

thank you!
