You paid for something that you have never seen, dont know the specifications and have zero clue of the model or what your buying? Hmmmmm sorry I cant agree with that - to me that just screams flipper and wanting to make a quick buck and exploit the current opportunity.
Its a damn watch. LOL seriously people WTF. |

Despite my disagreement to this arrangement I won't judge. It's only (OP's) money. Either way will lead to desirable timepiece for the OP (I hope).
Good luck! |

Sounds like you have a very good relationship with your AD. And I think it's more about you being a loyal customer than the money, that would be my guess. And that's just great.
Funny, but I had thought about asking mine almost the same thing. I ordered a 114060 and that was after I cancelled my SD43 order and changed it to the 114060. Then, I wondered if I should have asked about a new Basel 2019 model instead. However, I left it with the 114060 as I like that Sub just as it is. Anyway, it will be interesting how this plays out. There are plenty of people waiting to get these watches so, like you say, if you don't like one then someone else will take it, and you can move on. It has taken me over a year to really get to like the new Pepsi. Now, I seem to love it! Maybe that will be my next. Anyway, good luck on all this and it will be interesting to see how it does play out. Cheers, Carl

Your conclusion requires the assumption that he's a flipper, instead of discussing the OPs premise. I don't know OP, so I discuss what is put in front of me and assume it is true. Why bother discussing anything on the forum if everyone is just a greedy flipper? I've been here long enough to know that is not the case.

Most people are flippers thats why the current environment is the way it is now and this action screams flipper. Thats pretty much all there is to it. |

I’m in the “Congratulations, glad you’re happy” camp.
I’ll leave the “I prefer to second guess people and provide a little doom and gloom wherever I go” to someone else. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

There are 3% deposit rates for USD somewhere in the world? That be nice. I can’t even get 2% on AUD, USD or SGD in my part of the world, so this whole argument that some folks obsess about of “could be earning interest on that $5K” for 6-12 months instead of putting down a deposit is a non argument at all, unless $45 makes such a huge difference in one’s life... in which case they should be buying a plastic swatch, not a $10K frivolous luxury object. |

What ever works! Guess it really just depends on the level of trust OP has with his AD. Who's to say, there's isn't other big fish that just trumps the OP and his early deposit.

I think you are agreeing with me ? I was being generous w 3%.... in reality, you can easily get around 2.2% on a deposit account and around 2.75% for a one year CD. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |

I think the Beanie Babies craze got to this same level just before it collapsed.
Not predicting the same fate, but it has that same gotta have the new one feel. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk |

I think that’s great. Good for you! If you are going to buy something regardless. Why not make sure they know you are serious. Eventually, you will get first choice of whatever you want regardless of deposit. I think it was a very smart idea. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

So $4,500.00 down to be first in line for an unannounced 2019 model. If you don't like the 2019 model you can transfer the deposit to the piece you already have on order? Seems you are/were going to spend the money anyway.... just don't be a flipper.
