Good point this....footycrazy wrote:On another note.....I have bought from AD,s without getting any sort of discount or very little off when the watch has been handled by hundreds of people and is the last one left with marks to it. Same scenario really - if you want it- you keep it, if not - it goes back.
A few months ago I walked away from the purchase of a Tudor Pelagos from an AD as it has a few marks on the case and quite a few on the bracelet from being handled (and drooled over) by who knows how many people. When I raised the question of the marks, I was told that there could not (note could not, not would not) be any price reduction because of them. Tudor did not allow that. I asked if they could get in a new watch for me in place of this one and was told no, they could not, as Tudor/Rolex would only supply another once the one (one!) in stock was sold... That's why I politely declined to buy it, as much as I really liked the watch.
To put it in perspective, the bulk of the NN CWs are probably in quite similar condition (or better), yet are sold at a 30% discount... are we spoiled, or what?
