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?

hey jj why did u fill in ur name in the papers???is the sd a keeper???BTW very good price,and congrats

Dan Pierce · 18 March 2007, 01:16 AM

JJ,
I'm a little [very] late getting here but congrats on the SD.

watchnut · 18 March 2007, 01:58 AM

Congrats JJ! I'm starting to think of a trade for my new Sub to a SD. This one isn't "smilin" at me like I thought it would. Good idea filling out the papers in pencil too!

Mr. K · 18 March 2007, 02:36 AM

JJ, congrats on the watch.

More importantly congrats on getting yourself out of the financial bind and getting a job.

Are you thinking the SD will be a keeper? I know you have been there before so you know what it (the SD) is about.

Pete · 18 March 2007, 02:51 AM

great to hear you are back on your feet J man!! congrats on the SD. im also in the pursuit of an SD and can imagine ur exuberance over this great timepiece!!

Rolex now rules that it is compulsory for all ADs to fill in the name of the buyer...otherwise, the warranty is not valid.

Thanks, Mark....hoping to get some full-time employment soon. Shall be holding on to this one.....love it!!

DocD · 18 March 2007, 05:29 AM

Wow, I'm speechless. Just a few weeks ago I was actively trying to help JJ sell his SS Sub Date because he was "down and out". Now he's already purchased another watch!!?????

I guess I'm just a little naive. I guess my definition of "down and out" differs a little.

LOL! Hi Doc,

Yes, I was down and out, but more mentally than financially.

I have managed to find a good part-time job and also happened to have good funds from my last week's sale of the Sub.....so when a great offer like $4100 for a brand new, Z-series SD comes along, I guess you just have to grab it, right?

greenfan · 18 March 2007, 06:27 AM

Well, at that price I'd grabbed it too. Enjoy it JJ - though I'm sure you will

gmt 16750 · 18 March 2007, 07:02 AM

Big congrats JJ - it's always nice to bag a spanking new Rolex but esp when you get it for a cracking price!

Glad to hear your back working (part-time at least

) - I hope this is the start of a run of good luck for you

pcarson · 18 March 2007, 07:31 AM

Holy Dooly JJ, $4100 NZ Dollars for an SD? Can I ask you to do me a favour; next time he rings you with a deal like that, and you're not up for it, can you ask him to ring me? That's ridiculous! Was he drunk?

WES · 18 March 2007, 07:59 AM

Hey JJ, I'm a little late getting here but real big congrats on that new beauty

Bill

charles · 18 March 2007, 07:59 AM

Congrats JJ! Welcome to the club!

ofelas · 18 March 2007, 08:02 AM

NZ$ 4100 = ~ US$ 2800.

Glad to hear you lucked out JJ

I calculate $3258 USD which is still 40% off retail. That is an unbelievable price. I think the $4100 is USD.

What say you JJ? Nice watch BTW!!

kcmo · 18 March 2007, 08:48 AM

Congrats JJ! I almost had to read the post twice to make sure it was true! Very happy for you

Another classic! Hope you wear it in good health, always

kakalika · 18 March 2007, 08:56 AM

JJ, JJ, What can I say, another Rollie, and a good one at that. Congratulations my friend. Enjoy, and wear it in good health.

OK guys, who is taking bets on how long this one will last?

Don't know where you got your exchange rate from, but http://www.xe.com/ucc/ has today's exchange rate at US$ 1 = NZ$ 1.44; that makes NZ$ 4100 = US$ 2847.

In any case, looks like the price is US$ 4100 which is about right for a 15% AD discount at early 2006 stock Z series Sea-Dwellers.

Solo118 · 18 March 2007, 10:03 AM

I dont sign on all day and now I see this! JJ congrats my friend, Wear it in best health!

Arturo · 18 March 2007, 10:10 AM

Remember JJ babies his watches. He might be able to just borrow this one for free for a year and sell it for what he paid for it and given the way he treats a watch, it would be a bargain then.

roadcarver · 18 March 2007, 11:12 AM

I think JJ bought it for $4100 USD? Since he mentioned he had to cough up an extra $100 from the subby sale.

If it is indeed NZ $, I'd take two!!!

ofelas · 18 March 2007, 12:37 PM

I'll take two of then NZ Rolex deals as well...especially if they're demo'd on your AD's buxom gal's....display counters...what say, JJ?

only one choice remains, JJ

fathom or foot?

mikey · 19 March 2007, 01:17 PM

JJ, I like your SD better than the TT Sub.

I see, but even so, it's a bargain. Still much cheaper than I could get an SD over here. Congratulations.
