Found, Rolex Daytona, Black Stainless

[Ash 996 GT2]

In New York

Brand new, wanted $10k

Was in the Jewellery quarter so did not trust them, I probably should have.

I also think it was too much to pay (but I wanted it).

What do you lot think?

Was gutted walking out of the shop with Wallet Watcher telling me "its too much to spend on a watch".

I think you should go back without the wallet watcher and buy it

I don't know much about Rolex, but it seems they are going for around £6-7k second hand for a good condition one.

$10k, accroding to xe.com = £7247.41.

Yep, I agree, but just could not talk Wallet Watcher into it and I was nervous of the shop.

Can you not buy her some new shoes or a handbag? That ought to Even it up a bit

Are they not an Authorised Dealer?

Not authorised, and the trip to New York was a surprise for her birthday, a shopping trip. She purchased in order of importance:-

A pair of UGG boots
A pair of gloves
A hat type thing that only covers her ears
A wooly jumper

Hi Ash,

$10,000 is not a great price. The exchange rate is killing this deal, as pointed out it's £7250 which is a very unfriendly West End price. Plus you may (or may not) get asked to contribute 15% and duty to HMRC on your way back in.....

Yer, thought about that, a risk you take, I thought it was worth it but you are correct, the exchange rate stinks.

Ashley.

I put in an offer today on a rather expensive house. If its accepted, I may need to free up all the cash I can, in order to pay the stoopid stamp duty.

Let me know if you're about to buy one in the next month

Don't expect a bargain though mate, I'll want what its worth, and I still think you could spend £6-7k feeding your horological lust better on other time pieces rather than on an SS Daytona.

I can get a brand new 2008 model unused for £7k with black face.
