No local AD -- now what?

I don't have any AD within reasonable driving distance of me. Can someone recommend a good AD, one that will discount up to 25%? Obviously it doesn't matter where the AD is located.

I've been looking gray and used up until now for this reason but I'm certain the AD restrictions wouldn't apply to my situation.

Why not look at the FS section here. A bunch of reputable sellers with better pricing than an AD.

Happy Hunting!

If you've considered gray market, then I would strongly recommend trying any of our trusted TRF sellers. When they advertise BNIB it really means brand new with your name on the card.

Good luck.

I suggest you contact an AD in another state and have the watch shipped to you. This way you can avoid the sales tax.

I would not get too fixated on a blanket discount of 25%. Most ADs would not touch that unless you are a WONDERFUL MULTI-REPEAT customer and you were focused on Gold, White Gold watches.

Otherwise, you are something!

Seriously, consider sellers on TRF selling BNIB watches and you may get close to that discount percentage, but fugghedabout it at 99.999999% of Brick & Mortar stores!!!

Greg, if you are considering Gray Market, then I strongly agree with everyone here, there are some absolutely fantastic people to work with on TRF. Tony, David, everyone is extremely reputable and fair, you can work with them with the utmost confidence.

However, if you're set on buying from an AD, then give mine a call, 858-453-9996. Ask for Kim Yeo (pronounced "Yo"). She is fantastic and will ship out of state, tell her the cady man sent you. It's definitely worth a call.

Good luc!
