Had a friend get a Rolex GMT Batman at retail from an AD in Italy last week. Had previously bought a watch from him last year and called/emailed prior to vacation. I kind of felt bad for him that he was getting his hopes up before he actually got the call he could buy it but it worked out for him.

Saw a guy at Love Field wearing a Daytona. Never seen one in the wild. Really makes you think
This seems like a really good deal. Is there something I'm missing on it?

I'm sure. Hell, I see Ferrari's on a daily basis here in North Dallas. Porsches are equivalent to Civics in my hood. Meanwhile, we are driving around our $50k junkers.

Which dealer? I spend tons of time in OKC, and I'm looking for my next watch.
Yes that is a good price for Chrono24. Could be had for a bit less through other channels (FTAC2011) but you might have to be patient.jh0400 said:

anyone know of a good place to sell a "high end" strap/deployment?
We have a Cartier leather strap with a solid gold deployment that's not getting any use.
Lady at the authorized shop said they should fetch around $1,600, All over the place on ebay.
Would it be worth taking to someone like Hal Martin or am I going to be screwed? I guess I can list on ebay but haven't sold anything on there in years so buyers might be suspect.

Post pictures, I had been browsing Ebay for a gold deployant.

You don't have to try it on.
You don't have to try it on.
If you are really that curious you can do some sleuthing back through my prior posts on this thread and probably get a pretty good idea ofAgEng06 said:

BC Clark, really nice place. They have Longines, Rolex, Tudor, and Tag Heuer for watches along with David Yurman and some other jewelry brands.
Clay Wise was my salesman, really good guy.
My neighbor and i were discussing t what milestones in life justified a Rolex. He's being promoted and transferring to Paris in a couple weeks. He said it would be his next promotion back to Houston that would justify his getting a deep sea. said it also had something to do with the history of that watch and the company he works for.
Watches for Father's Day is trending… I bought myself an IWC Pilot's chronograph this week.
I drive up from Dallas to go to BC Clark, great people there. Elisabeth Allen is wonderful.Dies Irae said:DVC2010 said:Dies Irae said:

I really like those; very clean looking.
No, but probably their largest competitor.

When I made Captain I gave.myself my GMT. Had the watch I traded for it or the GMT in my safe for probably a year before I wore it.
He got his unlimited tonnage many years ago

I tell you this, half of the reason I bought the watch was because of the salesman. Every time I travel I try to go to one of the Rolex AD's in the city I'm in. Many a time I have been given the cold shoulder because they have nothing to sell and a list a mile long for anything that comes in.
My salesman spent about 20 minutes with me after knowing I wouldn't be buying a watch talking about rolex and watches in general. I had an employee with me and he let him try on all the display models and talk about how they evolved and the original purpose behind them.
When I was going to leave I saw an opaline Pepsi Tudor in the display case and asked to see it. It gorgeous and as it was only 4300 I bought it.

I had the license for several years before I got the position.

I forgot, my dad got his unlimited tonnage a few years earlier than that

I feel like this is some sort of guerrilla marketing campaign for a new watch or something.

Down town location? I was in there last week. I don't recall seeing that watch, but it was a quick visit on the way to the movie theater.
I haven't ruled out the Tudor GMT as my next buy, but they're probably a little too large for my wrist.
Can't get over the Tudor hour hand. Yuk.

Why the GMT over yacht master or sea dweller?
