Hello, just bought my "grail" watch. New WG Sub. I traded in my SS Daytona and paid 24k. The AD picked up the taxes. Wondering if this is considered a decent deal. Oh yea, love the watch.

crew · 13 November 2013, 09:18 PM

Not sure if that's a "deal" or not, and what does it matter now?
Enjoy your new watch and don't "Monday morning quarterback" the deal.

Btw, the WG Sub is my grail as well.
Show us some pics and welcome aboard!

MonBK · 13 November 2013, 09:24 PM

Congrats on a nice watch.

Considering you only got $4,375 for your Daytona I don't know if I would have done it.

kieselguhr · 13 November 2013, 09:27 PM

Congrats on obtaining your grail!

As long you're happy. I wouldn't dwell on it too much.

viper9669 · 13 November 2013, 09:59 PM

Congratulations! Fine choice

Rashid.bk · 13 November 2013, 10:02 PM

Great choice

What do you think about the deal?

Apparently, you felt good about it and pulled the trigger. . The question will only make you feel bad.

ow it's time to enjoy your watch

brettpaul · 13 November 2013, 10:26 PM

Yes, I think the AD got a GREAT DEAL.....sorry, was that not the question?

btinl · 13 November 2013, 10:39 PM

Not a fantastic deal for you but you got the watch that you want, so enjoy it.

Racerdj · 13 November 2013, 10:43 PM

Congratulations on your grail watch!

mjclark32 · 13 November 2013, 10:45 PM

Not a great deal, but you've now got a great watch (focus on that), big congrats! How about some pics?

Bangel · 13 November 2013, 10:48 PM

Everyone has been... Ahem... Pleasant, however
I'll tell you straight - you got screwed. Enjoy your
Sub.

SWISSAHOLICS · 14 November 2013, 02:31 AM

Terrible deal
But too late now. Enjoy the watch

I certainly agree with the general sentiment that this was a terrible deal…the WG Sub can be had LNIB from a trusted seller through TRF for around $25-26K. Therefore, you received very little (if any) real value from the Daytona in this trade. Sorry to hear, but since the deal is done, I hope you are able to shift your focus to the enjoyment of your new Sub…it is truly an amazing watch...

jvo300 · 14 November 2013, 03:01 AM

Congrats to you on the watch and congrats to your AD. Better to consult before a purchase than after.

+1 Enjoy the watch, try not to think about the Daytona... They essentially took it off your hands for free.

What does the watch book for? That is how to judge it... not everyone gets below retail... Yes he could have likely got a better deal but walking into an AD with a trade, well, you will never get a really good deal that way anyway - If the watch books for $28k or more I would say he did OK...

Cc1966 · 14 November 2013, 03:54 AM

Welcome to TRF. The deal is done...was it great, no....but you have your grail, so enjoy it! Many avenues you could have taken, with an AD you have the best chance of future problems being handled to your satisfaction IMHO.

This guy did you a service and answered the question asked.

The AD did pay the taxes - don't know the rate in DC but (for example) 6% on 25k is $1500.

For future purchases (and there will be if you're like most here), consider trusted sellers here. If you're curious (and maybe you shouldn't be) you could plug in your Sub's watch reference # into the "For Sale" section here and see what LNIB is going for. Frankly, I wouldn't, but you can see many other great deals there.
