Perhaps I wasn't clear.
I am speaking of a new, never been sold before Rootbeer obtained from a brick-and-mortar AD. TT Oyster bracelet. TT bezel insert. Quote:

$7,000 + would be my guess.

Retail price. Being that you are in LA, its difficult to get discounts on the west coast. If you can, I guess it depends on how bad they want to sell it (and how many watches you've bought from them). So, the best price is whatever you can buy it for.

Sounds like a needle in a haystack to me. That will be like finding a 1986 Lexus that hasn't been cranked.

I've located the watch. They want $8950.00 and they will probably _not_ discount.
I'm guessing that $8950.00 was not the Rolex list price when they acquired that D-series piece. I thought maybe some of the Rootbeeristas here would have some insight into what a fair retail price would be, given that it is brand new and from an AD. |

Sorry. I don't follow your thinking on this. Why is $25 over list "way too expensive" for a watch that no one can source anymore?
You understand that this is a new watch from an AD, right? |

Okay, let's put it this way: Has anyone on TRF seen a NIB Rootbeer for sale at an AD in the last month? Anywhere?
