It’s your money, but I’d not have done that deal.
yah I’d definitely take the free JLC with the MV of 20k because that would be an amazing opportunity, even more so than the free 15k Rolex
that’s my point. I would consider the MV of the watches and so would you
Again here’s my thought experiment.
you are offered a brand new model sub or Seamaster for free. Let’s say the only stipulation is that you get to keep it and wear it as much as you want until you die, then it goes to charity. And you can continue to buy and wear other watches as much as you want.
99% of the board, if honest, takes the free 15k sub over the free 5k Seamaster.
what does this thought experiment prove? IDK but I’m totally convinced that if we did it I would be right.
If you set aside price, most would want the Sub. Like if someone offered you a new Sub or a new Seamaster 300 for free, and the only stipulation is that you can never sell it or gift it, but you can wear it for the rest of your life then it gets donated to charity. Of course you take the Sub.

I think market value is considered in everyone’s watch decisions. I’d rather buy a 5k Seamaster than a 15k sub. But if you offered to give me either watch for free, even if I couldn’t just simply sell it and spend the money elsewhere, I take the sub. Because I love them both but one is a 15k watch and the other is a 5k watch. And I think 99% of this board takes the free sub, if they’re 100% honest
Sounds like this guy can have this conversation all by himself and doesn't need any actual facts or information. He already knows how everyone thinks. If someone says otherwise, they're just not being honest. He knows.
He'll be at 200 posts in no time at this rate.

R rcdancerIt's interesting that apparently Rolex will not permit its' ADs to also carry Omega - at least I've never seen an AD that also carried Omega.)
F FL23833Congrats on the new watch but oh man what a bad financial deal that AD made out like a bandit! I don't understand how the 300m was a 10k watch doesn't the grey dial list for 5k? Besides that you should have gotten 20% minimum on the Omega. I paid cash for my white 300m and got 35% off I see used asking prices for more than I paid for a new 1.
Good click bait.📖
I must admit, though how much I love Omega, that modern submariners (it's not fair to compare a modern SMP with a vintage submariner) are better in almost every facet than a SMP, but specially talking about bracelet, size, design and ergonomics.
Barring perhaps the bracelet, the other facets you have listed are purely subjective (size, design and ergonomics).
