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.

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.

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.

I have not even put the watch on. It is staying in the box in my hidden closet safe for another 10 months (give or take).

I will be sure to post pictures when I take it back out.

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.

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.

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 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.

Why the GMT over yacht master or sea dweller?
