Congrats! That's a nice start to a good AD relationship.

drmizzou · 3 March 2018, 11:50 PM

Congratulations on 2 awesome pieces. Ask them to keep on surprising you! Hopefully the wallet runs deep as once you start collecting and your AD keeps calling it may be hard to say no! Lol.

congrats...yup...the benefits of a good AD relationship...enjoy

Congrats, 5% is OK, thought a volume dealer like you could get more.

These were the first 2 purchases I've made from this AD, and they were Professional models. I'd imagine I'd get much more from TT etc.
Plus, they operate with EU VAT 0% prices, so prices already start lower than anywhere else in the world - the Batman was just under £6000.

yannis · 4 March 2018, 12:07 AM

Congrats! That is one of the best from the current line up!

Anyways, I ask, just out of curiosity, about the availability of a few other pieces that are hard to get.

They say maybe they can surprise me.
Two days ago I get the call, went to pick it up today. 5% discount again.

Is this in the ATL Area? Which AD did you use?

rmlovett1 · 4 March 2018, 12:20 AM

Outstanding! Congratulations!

GarageBMW · 4 March 2018, 12:22 AM

very nice congrats !

dafuture · 4 March 2018, 04:19 AM

Wow! That's a great AD. Wish we had that type of place up near me.

waterman1 · 4 March 2018, 04:28 AM

Nice! I was there a few weeks ago. I love st barth. You’re lucky enough to be working there for the winter. Mind if I ask what you do there?

I'm a pilot, our airline goes to all the islands, but St Barth is our nr.1 destination here.

datejustrms · 4 March 2018, 04:36 AM

That's great! Congrats on two really nice references!

BillA · 4 March 2018, 04:38 AM

good price considering AMEX CC use.

And1dre · 4 March 2018, 05:58 AM

Congrats!

artschool · 4 March 2018, 06:02 AM

didn't the storms stop all the tourists? the AD probably needs the business.

St Barth is pretty much back up and running, unlike many other islands - business is up from last year in SBH.
Some hotels will remain closed for this season and obviously the fire at Le Christopher was a huge blow, but the villas, which are the vast majority of the tourism are almost all available.

What helps is that their other locations in St Maarten are partially closed, so they get more inventory than normally.

Cadi1 · 4 March 2018, 07:49 AM

Congrats!! 2 great purchases.

cajerseyboy · 4 March 2018, 08:03 AM

Congrats on having the means to act quickly and close the sale. Enjoy that beauty!

Carribean pricing is usually around 5% minimum lower than us msrp. Skydweller I ordered in us for $14,400 runs $13,750 in usvi.... that is if they can even get one. You still are supposed to pay the 3-4% customs tax though. $800 per person allowance and $1600 allowance for usvi.

If you can get a Blnr or skydweller for 5% discount in conus then I would be impressed.

Congrats on great watch.

This place has EU VAT 0% pricing, out the door price was just over 8k USD (shame USD is so weak now, year ago this would've been a 7500USD BLNR). So almost 10% discount to US prices. Not a problem paying the 3%.

Wow. That is a great deal. St Bart’s def better than usvi. Caymans, st Martin, and Bahamas usually all run the same as usvi.

waterman1 · 4 March 2018, 03:23 PM

So from US east coast to PR then to SBH. Which airlines is this? Thanks for the information!

By the way did your AD have an sd43?

TheRolexKingofLV · 4 March 2018, 12:52 PM

Looks like you found a hot fishin' hole!

Congrats!

waterman1 · 4 March 2018, 01:54 PM

Yes I fly surfboards down when I go and the airlines will not take my boards from St Maarten so I have to take the ferry which can be an adventure with large seas at night! Spent about 4 hrs in st Maarten last month and it’s still struggling. Really inundated. St Barth coming along. At the same time there are changes occurring in St Barth so have to wait and see if it holds the same charm when all is back up. I certainly hope so. Back to watches...
