replied to your text 🙂 i had a good chat about the current state of watch buying when i picked it up. I got this from my guy at Harmony in Grimsby btw. The CDN $ is terrible right now (USD is $1.33 cdn) but Rolex (and most other companies right now) cant increase thier pricing so drastically so relatively speaking everything is much cheaper in Canada right now. In fact, Rolex is apparently not holding any reserve stock in Canada since they prefer to sell it in the US where they get more money for it relatively speaking in USD. there are delays of several weeks to even a couple months on steel daytonas and other desirable models. our 13% HST claws back some of it but i’m getting 15-24% discounts on models up here though when he can get them and happy to pass it along. He had dozens of breitlings and panerais this time around but they dont move like the Rolex stuff. ---

i didn’t really get into details but he had a full 18kt breitling that retails for $48k USD where he wanted $28k cdn… but that’s not uncommon for gold stuff since it’s usually out of reach for most peoples. I will be going in to pick up the Sub either tomorrow or sometime next week. if you have the time during the day come up with me. he has most of the stuff on display now and since i’ve bought 2 pieces off him in the last month with at least 1 more coming it’s a good time to tag along. ---

Silly question… I was in The Bahamas at a Rolex store and the prices seem to have an extra 0 on them. The exchange rate is pretty much even Steven. What gives? When she said, “That one is $58,000.00”, I tried not to look shocked and said, “I will think about it.” lol I looked at the prices and sure enough, what I thought was a plane Jane Rolex was $58,000. Another one was $51,000. ---
