Paid $1.9K delivered for a BNIB Gen P.O. What dya think?

[solicitor]

I'm growing weary and wary with all the problems associated with buying reps lately: how to make payments, customs crackdowns, inexplicably obvious flaws, misrepresentations, quality control, and the general anxiety about buying illegal goods. So, I just pulled the trigger on a BNIB Gen Planet Ocean, Ref. 2900.50.91. Paid an outstanding price=$1900.00USD, delivered. Arrives by Friday.

Yeah, yeah, I know this is a Rep world, and I could have gotten seven "ultimate reps", but did I do good? Anyone understand and share my frustrations with reps?

[bigpops]

If i could buy one for $1900 USD in this country, i'd probably buy one myself - I have 4 Planet Ocean reps. Sadly, you're looking at about 50% more than that, even after a discount.

[section8]

WOW, where did you find that deal? I want in on that!

[RWG Technical]

$4500 + 15% tax where I live... $1900 US, that's a great price, well worth it in my view.

Yeah, I looked at a black bezel PO recently and the sticker was $4400 - I didn't ask about discounts, but still that's quite a discount from $4400 to $1900.

You have indeed found yourself a bargain. I would jump on one for that price!

[jomama]

1900 is too good. How do you know it is real????? Why would anyone sell this at 1900?

[solicitor]

Suffice it to say it was "grey market", so it wasn't as perfect a deal as say buying from an AD would have been.

BTW, they're sold-out! If they weren't, I'd tell ya. As it is, I like getting first dibbs on these bargains. Sorry.

I can't wait 'til it arrives on Friday.

BNIB is short for "Brand new, In box"

You got a good deal, on a great watch! Enjoy it (and don't forget to tell us where you got it )

[r11co]

Well snagged! I like it when someone gets a bargain like this. The 45mm too! A good choice of watch if only as an investment. You could sell it in a year for what you paid!

Enjoy it

Dear All,

Congrats on your choice. It's a killer watch.

Just to mention: 1.900 is great but 4.000 is way too much.

There is one for 2.275 $ which bring it to around 2.275

Froggle is your friend in pricing all things!

But I can save you a step. jomashop.com in NYC has consistantly the best grey market prices. You can sometimes find good deal at bernardwatch.com and watchseller.com.

Zeetan is always a good bet too.

[Kollektor]

Awesome price for a great watch! For new gens, I found that authenticwatches.com has some very competitive prices. Still, don't see anything for near the deal you landed. Kudos and enjoy!

I've been offered a PO for

[solicitor]

Deal fell through..."damaged" stock, the reason. Otherwise, sold-out (which was true). Damn. I am [censored] and a little embarrassed. Talk about "countin' chickens"!

[nietzsche0904]

Bracekt or rubber?

Its not that astonishing as most ADs are willing to give you 30% and we aren't even talking about grey market.

Rubber strap. The MSRP is USD$3,300.00, so it's over 40% off. That's pretty astonishing to me! Well, it WAS astonishing, anyway.

[dvn]

i think i can get a 2901.50.91 for 30% off from MSRP of $3200 and it is from an AD in Washington DC

Coming from an AD, that sounds like a good deal to me!
