Bundle Deal
Hi guys,
My AD is offering me a Black Dial Daytona, but I have to purchase a yellow gold GMT Master II 116718LN at MSRP $33,000 as well. Do you think this is a good bundle deal? |

I would never let an AD tell me I have to spend 33k in order to spend another 12k on another watch.
These tactics are laughable. |

If you have the cash and you want the GMT then it's a great deal :)

Only if you really wanted that GMT. Otherwise you are getting hosed. IMO.
I think for PM generally speaking secondary mkt is better. Unless getting one hell of a discount. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Then send the offer to both Rolex USA and Geneva I’m sure they will look after you and have a word or two with the AD I would not bend to blackmail

FWIW, I think lots of AD's would be willing to offer the same bundle but allowing more flexibility on the PM chosen. So it's not that rare of a deal being offered. |

I don't think it's too bad a deal, any chance you can negotiate a little discount on the PM piece? But, if you really like the YG GMT, I say why not? After all, that reference is discontinued and slowly going up in price almost to the point of matching old MSRP

They won’t discount the GMT at all which is why I’m even hesitating on this. I’ve been trying to get a black dial for quite awhile now.

If you have no interest in the 116718LN and wanted to sell it now, you'd lose about $10k on it. So I'd say it's a bad deal.

One ad asked me to bundle a black submariner with a $14k lady dj. They are getting more ridiculous these days.

Do you want the GMT? Is that a watch you’ve had on your radar and inquired about buying? If so then do it - if not then pass.

i would say it is not bad if you can get the green dial PM GMT with the daytona that you really want. Green PM GMT to me is something collectable as it only produce for such a short period.
Good luck with making the final decision. At least there is a bundle (under the table), unlike Australia here you can only be either "on the list" or "not quality to be on the list" which you don't even know what game they are playing at the back. Sad. |

Tell your AD to shove his “bundle” offer where the sun doesn’t shine.

Those offers really irritate me as they prove how stupid some ADs are!!!
Technically, if you agree and move forward with the deal then went the following morning to return the PM GMT, no one can tell you anything!! Of course that would ruin any relationship with the AD and I personally wouldn’t do it but they are really playing it dirty!! Finally I’m starting to think that Rolex USA has a direct or indirect role in this by putting pressure on ADs to sell a certain number of PM watches and that’s the they they can unload them!! I would only move forward with that deal if I want both watches!!

Lol. ‘Offering’ eh? Lol. And they make 45k plus to sell a watch that costs 12,4.
I won’t post what I would tell my AD if they said anything in the VICINITY of that to me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
