I probably would have made mention that it was a good deal and went ahead and bought the watch for the huge discount offered!

That wasn't my reason for wanting to pay him a fair price. In my opinion, in any transaction....both parties should come away from the transaction feeling good about the transaction. I personally would have felt guilty if I paid a price so far below market price without offering a fair price. That was my motive and nothing more.
The likelihood of The jeweler getting another Rolex that I might buy is pretty low. He just typically doesn't get this sort of thing in his store. He has a 5513 now, but I don't think he will ever sell it.
