...but wants me to bundle with Cartier or/and JLC. Something in the range of 5-10k (probably closer to 10k). So obviously thinking of buying a Cartier/JLC and sell it off but definitely taking some losses there. Any suggestions on what model that makes sense for me to get which also minimise my losses?

(I’ve a purchase history albeit not big)

csong825 · 31 May 2021, 08:29 PM

Only $5-10k additional spend for a SS Daytona and it can be on Cartier/JLC? I would do that in a heartbeat! Lots of good options between the 2 brands that you may even end up keeping the bundled watches. If you must sell, you probably minimize your losses with a Santos or Reverso.

Sounds too good to be true....some people have to spend 100k plus

brandrea · 31 May 2021, 08:33 PM

Welcome to the forum.

A Cartier Tank for your significant other would be my pick.

Frits1980 · 31 May 2021, 08:34 PM

Get a nice ss reverso but keep it. You will loose to much trying to sell it. Daytona at retail and a cool reverso, not a bad deal at all.

vinny84 · 31 May 2021, 08:38 PM

That sounds like a good deal to me! I would get a Cartier Santos myself and wear it

Normally not a fan of bundling. But this sounds like a good deal.

1William · 31 May 2021, 08:43 PM

I like the large Santos. Several strap options included.

makrxx · 31 May 2021, 08:53 PM

Thanks all! I’ve a purchase history so obviously not the ‘normal’ bundling where you need to buy DD, full on diamonds etc.

Have no use for the other piece unfortunately! So will explore Santos or Reverso as some of you have suggested.

SearChart · 31 May 2021, 08:56 PM

I'd pair it with a nice Reverso

RaZCaL · 31 May 2021, 09:04 PM

Highly recommend the Cartier Santos large. Have one myself and love it.

Santos

Benzsiam · 31 May 2021, 09:23 PM

Wow, what a best deal, take it before they change their mind.

Master_Grogu · 31 May 2021, 09:28 PM

Ask for Cartier Cloche and see how he reacts.

m j b · 31 May 2021, 09:46 PM

Do you really want to spend $25K on a watch?

Unless you plan to flip it, think it through.

AJMarcus · 31 May 2021, 09:56 PM

Could be worth it. Negotiate with the AD. Both JLC and Cartier have awful resale values. Does he sell Omega? If so, Tell him you’ll pick up an Omega Speedmaster 3861 - that’s about $6k MSRP. That’s a great piece and would be easiest to sell down the road. But don’t be surprised if you find the Speedy more legible and with an easier chrono to operate than your Daytona.

Brich436 · 31 May 2021, 10:04 PM

Cartier Santos medium or large depending on your wrist size. A beautiful and historic model!

ks58 · 31 May 2021, 10:05 PM

Yea, wondering if he has any other brands to buy from or not. I’d even buy a Tudor to bundle. If they have Cartier, which is a tough brand to have for a store, then I’d assume several others.

Just buy a jlc master geographic or whatever. Awesome watch.

Politiceaux · 31 May 2021, 10:06 PM

JLC Master Control Calendar is quite a watch. It may be my next purchase.

rmlovett1 · 31 May 2021, 10:31 PM

Sad that it’s come to the fact we’re all praising what a “good deal” this is!

Having to spend money you don’t want to, to get a Rolex. But...it’s the times we’re in, and it’s better than grey pricing right now. I’d try to get something I’d actually wear if I were doing this deal.

Spectre38 · 31 May 2021, 10:38 PM

Reverso would be my choice.

travisb · 31 May 2021, 10:39 PM

Santos and Reverso.

DonRickles · 31 May 2021, 10:42 PM

troll.........until proven otherwise......

ap1 · 31 May 2021, 10:45 PM

Another Santos vote here, deal seems to good to be true

VonSomething · 31 May 2021, 10:45 PM

Why not both? Reverso for the wife, Tank for the mistress, you walk out with a SS Datyona. Keeps everybody happy

My suspicions aren't unwarranted.....

A new member to strike up, I CAN GET A SS DAYTONA, first post, well......then disappear.

AND, I did give myself a waiver!
