AD called

I can get a Dipsy!!!

Do you think they held off calling me for a day?

I guess I'll go look, but I'm 99.99999% certain I will not buy it.

My AD told me that Rolex is shipping lots of watches right now; they have received several shipments in the last few weeks. Plus, he said the notification of the price increase came by Fed-ex Monday late afternoon. Hard to believe they held it for you.

When I turn them down I'll say that I just bought a Daytona from ebay.

I have gotten the call twice for the Deep Sea. Unfortunately, I cannot justify a Deep Sea at the moment... maybe later

OK...So, thats 0.00001% chance... You'll probably like it... Now coughing up the $9200 is another story. I DID!

I looked at it and was completely underwhelmed. Most reports are correct. The dial gibberish is not that bad. It's not as heavy as I thought it would be, but I was wearing a SD4000. The bracelet rocks.

I think you answered your own question! The price of this watch is out of hand and not worth it IMHO. I'll wait to buy it pre-owned and save a few thousand. I could careless if I have a new watch or one that is 1 year old.
