Doesn't matter where you get it, get it from an AD. You can probably negotiate a better price even in AD for DJ in the US than the MSRP.

It’s cheaper than in the US but she also won’t wear the watch until May so we’d be paying 2 months in advance. There’s also a little more peace of mind getting it from a local Saad in the US in case there’s a problem and to get the US warranty instead of the international one. We weren’t planning on dropping this much money on the trip but we’d have to spend it anyways in the future. What would y’all do?
