Nothing locked in. Just think im going to sell the maro for something non domestic? in the spring. I like the 997 turbo a lot. But i have to see how a few things in the next few months shake out. Too many irons in the fire! ---

997tt is always a good choice. ---

gents, at the Rolex / Omega / Tag store in the mall near me they have a 30-40% off case with some decent stuff in it. of note, other than a few Seamasters is this piece: ![http://image.forumfree.it/5/3/1/1/6/9/1260769149.jpg](http://image.forumfree.it/5/3/1/1/6/9/1260769149.jpg) titanium tag carrera, day date, on black vinyl with red stitch… it’s 30% off msrp, an additional 2% off for cash and your dollar is at about $1.10 right now… only catch is the 13% hst. still… it’s been there for several months so you could prob get it even cheaper. Other than a really nice Monaco imho this is the Tag to have if you’re gonna go that route. This is a Tag authorized dealer too. ---

Don’t you get the 13% back when you cross back to the US? ---

you could try that… if you could this would be a really good deal. Also, this place had a couple guys to a smash and grab on their rolex counter last tuesday so they may be even more inclined to sell. > **[High end watches taken in jewellery store robbery](https://www.thespec.com/news-story/4363814-high-end-watches-taken-in-jewellery-store-robbery/)** > > Police are investigating after two masked men hit a Lime Ridge Mall jewellery store and made off with a stash of high end watches. ---

If MSRP in CDN is the same as USD, then this would potentially be a pretty solid deal if they have anything worth buying. Thanks for the heads up Bing. ---

if anyone comes up to take a peek i’ll treat you to the best espresso you’ll ever have in your life (no not at my house). as mentioned, there were a number of Omega pieces in the sale case… a few seamasters and a number of women’s pieces as well. CDN MSRP us usually a 10%+ over US MSRP but the 30-40% discount in the sale case easily defeats that. It’s hard to find Authorized dealers giving those kinds of discounts away but since this place is in Hamilton and doesn’t sell on-line they tend to have some nicer pieces hang around for a while… there aren’t enough people in this area who buy these things. They are an AD for Rolex, Chopard, Gucci, Hamilton, Cartier, Baume and Mercier etc as well ---
