Here with his BLNR and his best friend's 16yo Sub, trying to get an extra 1.9% on an everose diamond Daytona. Wish me luck!

....bar bill might run higher than the discount!!!

AK797 · 2 July 2015, 08:49 AM

In this heat anything is possible, including Lioness' winning the World Cup!

That's my kind of night.

I didn't tell you the base price obviously, but this could be a monster discount if I get it. Wish me luck, the Laphroaig is delicious.....

Ya never know!

Usually, my AD tries to get ME to have a few to loosen my wallet!

T. Ferguson · 2 July 2015, 09:29 AM

If that doesn't work try getting him a hooker.

Mr. K · 2 July 2015, 09:36 AM

Never heard of this type of approach, good luck

nick c · 2 July 2015, 09:41 AM

Give it to them

So absolutely off my face and it turns out he's got the bar bill. ERM. Let's see how the morning goes!

GB-man · 2 July 2015, 10:22 AM

Ha he should be selling you my friend, not the other way around!

Speed · 2 July 2015, 10:25 AM

An email to a TRF seller is a lot cheaper. You can even send one from a Bar ;-)

Lighting reminds me of a strip club...

Having a friend/ making a friend who is an AD is a great thing! Good luck and bottoms up!

Morning after, I think I'm still drunk! Too much Islay single malt. He tells me that in 35 years in the business, I'm the first client he's ever taken out for drinks. And I believe him. Dunno why, we just clicked from the outset when I walked into his shop originally back in April to check the retail price of something, to confirm another dealer wasn't lying to me. He's not the owner, he just manages it, and he's not on commission, though he gets an annual bonus if all the shops in the chain do well. He told me their dealer discount is 45% - higher than I thought it was. Anyway, this is the baby I'm looking to buy. Let's see how the day pans out.

Don't throw-up on the watch! I give you credit for creativity.

travisb · 3 July 2015, 12:32 AM

It's a stunning watch and that newer dial is beautiful. Hope it works out!

This everose one is so beautiful. The platinum one is great, but ultimately to me it's not worth nearly double the everose.

But I didn't pull the trigger. I haggled too hard over the final €750, which in the grand scheme of things wasn't really that important, but took me over a card single purchase limit that in reality I could have called my bank and removed. Regretting it a bit now. Still, finally the DD WG 118399 I ordered in April is arriving in his next shipment, so I'll be over there at the end of the month to pick it up, and will have another chance to buy at his final price.

Turns out though, if I had bought it, the insurance would have required another safe upgrade. The current safe, rated Eurosafe 0 for £6k cash / £60k jewellery, is 30 kg. The safes at the next step up, Eurosafe 1 for £10k cash / £100k jewellery, seem to start at around 80 kg. Given the ballache of getting the current safe delivered and installed, only to have to have it removed and replaced before I even take delivery of the 118399, seems a bit high.

Most TRF sellers are US and I wouldn't like to see the import cost

Speed · 5 July 2015, 04:38 AM

Whoops. Sorry. Didn't realize the OP was non US. My bad!
