Hi guys,

What can I say? My AD called me up yesterday and offered me a price on a brand new Z-series SD which I would have been plain stupid to refuse!! A price so damn good, that even a USED SD in most parts of the world would be much more expensive!! Had to jump on it...especially since I did have the cash after the recent sale of my SS Sub!!

So I went off this morning and here I am on a warm and sultry Saturday afternoon talking to all you tossers!!

I guess I'm a full fledged member of the SD club now, uh?

nko51 · 17 March 2007, 12:49 PM

Congrats! and way to go JJ, that is one awesome beast of a watch! I love my Seadweller because you can really feel the weight of it on the wrist. You still will always be Mr. TT Blue Sub!!

roadcarver · 17 March 2007, 12:49 PM

JJ... just like a boomerang, the SD found its way back to you! Congrats and welcome back to the 4000ft club!

I actually had to take Zemina's permission for this one!! I told her how unhappy I was with just ONE Rolex and that I always was a TWO-watch man.

The offer from my AD was just too good to pass up. If I tell you what I paid for it, most of you guys will pass out!!

roadcarver · 17 March 2007, 12:56 PM

Must be a damn good price! I take it that you still have money left over from the subby sale??

If so that is a DAMN good price!

Well, I did get $4000 for the Sub and had to fork out an extra 100 for this one!! Good enough?

roadcarver · 17 March 2007, 12:58 PM

The "he" happened to be quite a sexy "she"....and with some cleavage to boot.

She even let me try on a new SS DJ, but somehow the 36 mm just didn't jell.

I think I'll stick with the 40 mms only.

Absolutely!! When I listen to some of the horror stories of you poor sods in the USA, I think you all need to visit Auckland for the purchase of your Rollies!!

WERNERTURNER · 17 March 2007, 01:02 PM

I thought you were broke...that's why you sold the sub. Did you bit the lottery?

Well, both my recent purchases (Blue Sub and SD) have been at Partridge Jewellers. Their service, prices and treatment would make Royalty blush!!

Yes, I sold the Sub because I had lost my job....but I wasn't exactly broke. I now have an excellent part time job since a week and am back on my feet.

Besides, I had to fork out only an extra 100 bucks for this baby!!

WERNERTURNER · 17 March 2007, 01:06 PM

Glad it worked out for you...enjoy it!...it is a beauty. Post a wrist shot when you get a chance JJ

Thanks, Ragu....but I doubt any AD would do business over the net. You have to get your ass down here for a sweet deal!!

TT Datejust · 17 March 2007, 01:19 PM

TARDIS · 17 March 2007, 01:23 PM

Sweet deal JJ.

Blue Bull · 17 March 2007, 01:32 PM

Brilliant minds do think alike,off course,it is a completely biased opinion from my side,but it does form the most complete basic collection ... the Blue King and the Dweller

The sharp members of this esteemed forum will recall,that when everybody were wiping Rolex stained,coronet shaped tears from bloodshot eyes for JJs sale of his ss Sub,I was the one that said, that this was only for the funding, of the purchase, of nr 19 ...

I must admit that I thought it was for another model,which I personally dont like.Glad it turned out to be the Dweller ...

Great pics, as always,JJ ...

Buy low,sell high ...

Great pricing on the Dweller @ $4100

I got mine,at the current exchange rate, @ $4290,at the time of buying @$4400.The local pricing remained the same.I also checked on the used market and the difference was so small that,brand new was by far the best deal.Cash in hand,is always King

JJ Irani · 17 March 2007, 01:36 PM

Thanks, Chris....apparently, you know me like an open book!!

The way you do it JJ,is the correct way.You end up, not really spending money,just shifting it around. Isnt Rolex,just wonderful ... !!

Its amazing how fond I have become of the Dweller.It is a beautiful design in its own right.Bold,big,tough,no nonsense styling,but very elegant,clean lined and sophisticated,at the same time ...

Gaijin · 17 March 2007, 02:08 PM

Congrats on the new Rolex and the new job! You seem like a real top notch Dude JJ, so good on ya Man!

Thanks, mate....appreciate the nice words.

This is just a temporary job, but I'm hoping for better things ahead.

Believe me, if the asking price on the SD was too much, I wouldn't have bought it. The offer of $4100 was just too good to be true and too good to pass up!!

amanda · 17 March 2007, 02:35 PM

Wow well done JJ.. heheheh you are amazing! Wear that Dwelly in the very best of jobs teeeheeee - well figured you have the health all set now, just the best job required!
