Was in Paris on Honeymoon a week ago. Went to a Caberet show, arrived early so went looking at some watch shops close by. I asked all if they had TT Skydweller to which no one had one, except the last shop. They did, AD. I asked about discount and as we were on honeymoon they agreed discount, plus VAT back, worked out around $13.5k. I did not have my debit card on me so they said they would hold till lunch the following day. I did not go back stupidly, and now I regret it big time, idiot that I am! I think a bit of guilt set in as I got a DD40 as a wedding gift, even though the wife was very happy for me to purchase Lesson learned, always have debit card on me!!!

It's only a watch. You just got married. Be happy

Rolexavidfan · 12 August 2018, 07:52 PM

I wouldn’t lose sleep on that. There’ll be another opportunity soon.

Don't worry, they are easy to come by. I recently passed on white steel skydweller but I never regreted it because I wanted the blue and there is no point to compromise

mikkolopez · 12 August 2018, 09:01 PM

It’ll come. Just be patient.

well, why did you not go back ? Was it uncertainty over the purchase or some logistical reason ?
If you really, really wanted it that badly, I think you would have found a way to go and get it.
There will be others, relax enjoy the DD in the meantime.

It’s only a watch. Thank goodness it wasn’t a SS Daytona you passed on... (just kidding)

You will have a chance on another watch. You did not buy it for a reason so just roll with it. No regret.

Dealmaking on your honeymoon... very dangerous behaviour...

I saw 2 Hulks at Amsterdam Schiphol just last year, 6900 Euro was the price.

Honestly? Did you ever intend buying the watch?

Thanks for all the comments. For sure one will come along again, and I don’t mean a new wife hahaha! Oh well, next time there will be no hesitation!

Wise words.

This is like being upset for not eating the hot dog you got offered after a banquet.

lenfried29 · 13 August 2018, 09:54 AM

you still have 13.5K in your pocket. Could be worst

I passed through Schipol on Thursday. Checked out the Rolex AD between flights thinking I might get lucky and find a couple pieces I’ve had my eye on.

The place looked like it had been robbed. Nothing but a few DJs and a stray ladies YM.

GB-man · 13 August 2018, 03:01 PM

You have the DD40. Enjoy the double honeymoon and stick around here long enough we might be able to talk you out of the two tone
