The Rose Gold AP 44mm retail is like $47k. It's one of my favorites. I have most of the 44mm's in different flavors, as that size is ideal for me Just a big watch nut--almost as bad a habit as the car thing


Mmmm....that exec nappa leather is just sweet:

Congrats, I like your thread adorned with the high end finest Swiss watches

I like these APs but I find your watch's crown very plain ,lacks some refinement in comparison with the Michale Schumacher , Grand Prix Edition

I recently bought ROLEX GMT MASTER II DAY/NIGHT ,very pleased

Funny you mention the Schumacher...here's my Titanium Schumi. It's probably my second favorite AP...the weight is amazing on it

And yes Rollies are fun watches, but with over million produced a year, kinda all over the place. However I love my GMTIIc as well...

hey, i like watches too, and yet the wrist dash pic is one of the most overplayed ideas on the internet.

My apologies for confusing the blue and purple.

As to upgrading the 05, maybe some day...I actually prefer the looks of my old clunker.

MSRP - $116K
Discount - That's up to your negotiation skills--they will not give you the same deal because of my relationship with them, so it's irrelevant.
Fees - Standand crap--think doc fee was only $125 - cheap
Tax - well minus any trade, 6.25%

I can't do your work for you...

Im not asking you to do the work for me. What I'm asking you is who you worked with over there and the breakout which you have already done.

They gave me a killer trade price--about $1500 more than anyone else. Again, make some calls. Get your car appraised elsewhere and bump up that offer to them. It's not rocket science...go get it! You will LOVE the '15 S550

Well, I feel naked just looking at all these pics.
I actually stopped wearing a watch altogether

Love Swiss timepieces though. We used to live the part of Switzerland where most of the watch manufacturers and sub contractors are located. watching them work is nothing short of astounding!
