A deal I couldn’t refuse
My AD called me this morning and promised they would get me a Pepsi GMT within 90 days if I came in and bought a PM GMT with the Anniversary dial.... I’m a sucker for an enterprising salesperson :)

If you also want a PM GMT as well then great and I'm glad for you. If my AD had called me with this proposition I would not be amused at all.

Why would you want the PM GMT? Spending $30,000 for the privilege of buying a $9,000 watch.

I'm assuming you can't get the SS Pepsi at a discount, but what about the PM GMT?

I'm sure the AD will give him all of his money back and give him the SS version as a gesture of good will.

I'd rather pay the premium on the grey market if I were so desperate for the Pepsi!

You'd be okay paying like 125% above MSRP? I wouldn't!

This! I would spend $17K than $40K. Although, I’d you want both watches then good for you.

Buy pre-owned for the Pepsi!

Or just be a boss and have the Pepsi and PM GMT!

What’s wrong with wanting 2 GMT’s (1 of which is difficult to get) and getting a great deal on them? :) I said it was a deal I couldn’t refuse, if you could refuse then as they say que sera sera....
