Swiss watches are now more or less controlled pretty hard on watches.
You can expect a 20% savings on that particular model than taxes so you are looking at 3K in savings......which pays for a light curise with the bride.

Also, look into watch net . com and time zone . com, both great reputable places to pick up used pieces.

The model you are looking at can go as low as 5500.......just FYI

I thought about it but I can get 20% off retail, and pay no sales tax here in the US

Pox you really should look into going out of the US if you are seriously thinking on getting a Rolex. I only paid $5500 for mine. I couldn't find it any cheaper than 8 in the states. My wife's was only $2800 you can't beat the deals.

Pox my wife goes to the jewelry show in new orleans every year and they run some sweet deals over there

I have one also

St Lucia had tag & rolex for super cheap.
It was thru the sandals resort. Authorized dealer.
They showed the price in the USA and the island price.
Minimum of 30% off on all watches.
The higher price the more % off.
While we were there some guy bought 70k in watches.....
That sales girl was smilin ear to ear!!

Y'all are nutz...i'd be too scared to lose some of those 10k+ watches. I'm a dive watch junkie. Wife got me the 1st one as a birthday gift and i bought the 2nd while living in hawaii. Next watch will be a cert promaster watch that records oxygen and has depth/ascend timers etc.

Insurance dude no biggie

simplepeddler 03-23-2012 08:17 PM

Those are nice big for sure......I like the Doxa as well.

The "rules" have changed in the last three years and discounts have changed and much more regulated.....Kinda like Shimano and finding a "deal"

St. Maarteen and St.Thomas are my favorite place to shop watches.

Last year in St. Thomas I had three Pateks out that were each over a 100K !!!! I told the guy there is now way for a sale on these and he just wanted to talk watches with a guy other than the standard stuff!!

My wife bought me a Seiko Kinetic for my 32nd birthday in 1999 and its the first watch to last for more than two years on my arm. It's probably only a few hundred dollars, but it is the highest quality watch I've owned with excellent durability. She bought me a nicer watch a couple of years ago, but that one's sitting in the safe waiting for this one to break. I think it will be a long wait.

My uncle is visting from out of town. He is a watch junkie. Last night we were drinking and he pulled out his collection to show me. I remembered this thread and thought some of you might appreciate this picture.

The matching pair on the left is the millenium edition. He got a matching set for him and his wife with matching serial numbers. According to him there were only 25 pairs produced. he said there is 5k worth of diamonds around the outside of the face.

Can't go wrong with either watch.

And I can tell you from personal experience, that the only downside to owning an antique watch, is if you're the original owner

I love Omegas! Very nice watch.

DUCKGOGETTER 04-28-2012 03:47 PM

One of the big dogs here at work has a watch collection, and you should here some of these prices he pays. His wife told me he has some of them in glass cases just for show.

I've been buying G-Shocks the last few weeks. They are all the "military" matte finishes. The 3 I have now are the 6900 series in black, desert sand and OD green colors. I have a Riseman and a Mudman in matte black on the way in the mail.
