Yeah but Oz taxes you up the wazoo! A Porsche or MB is like 50% more expensive then the same car in the US.

I got my sub at the retail price at an AD in downtown Melbourne. But to answer your hypothetical question, I consider it ultimately dumb foolish to desperately want a watch, any watch so much to be ready to trade my dignity and to pay over RRP on top. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

Rolex and similar goods attract 10%GST. Cars are a different story, probably the most expensive in the world due to Gvmnt taxes, but that is not contestable. No wonder used cars are more sought after here :) Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

Sadly, many Rolex AD's do their business that way.
FORGET about "waiting lists"! There is no such thing.... Only thing that counts is to buy for a lot of money; preferably some of the "AD inhouse jewelly", too! That helps you get that desired SS sports Rolex.

Eg I regularly hear well educated people believe that if an item is wrongly priced, it HAS to be sold at this price. |

Here in oz I think depends on your local AD. I got my 114060, 116622 blue dial, 116710blnr and 126660dblue from same AD. They offered me the sky dweller LN after purchasing the 116622 but I politely declined since I really want a blnr lucky I did coz after purchasing the omega moonphase got offered the blnr and recently the james cameron which I pulled the trigger as well. Couple of weeks ago they offered me the kermit but politely declined since I dont really like it and flipping it might be a good Idea but I want to keep that relation with my AD. Im waiting for the blue dial Sky dweller and panda daytona.

All this talk of bundling reminds me of buying underwear at Target - the 3 pack will always have two colors you like and one you don't, but you have to buy all three!

So, you ended up getting 2 new subs from 2 local ADs within a month? Sounds like a miracle. Any other details of the story you are willing to share? I've been told by local ADs that the wait for a sub is many months.

Much depends on the AD as well as the relationship you have with them. I haven't spent as much as others have with my AD, but I've always been given the watches that I've asked for. It might take many months of waiting but eventually, they have delivered. |

Mate its your fault for buying into this BS. Move to another brand, I could not bring myself to buy a handful of datejusts just to get on a list. Its demeaning to my intelligence.
Omega, Glashutte Original and VC are all amazing watch brands with great watches. People need to get over this long hype train and use a bit of common sense. Sent from my SM-N975F using Tapatalk |
