I Had To Turn Down a Rolex Today

submitted by TheBigGuyFromQueens to Wristwatches 8 monthsOct 9, 2024 17:54:12 ago (+6/-4)     (Wristwatches)

I got the call earlier today. I was on a waitlist for over a year for a watch in Rose Gold and Steel. With NYS Sales Tax, it would have cost me $17,850 and I just don’t have the money laying around. I had some medical stuff to take care of earlier this year and it entirely depleted my watch fund.

My old Authorized Dealer used to let me lay them away with 1/3 or 1/2 down and pay it off in like under 6 months and then pick it up, but the ADs in Manhattan have too many wealthy clients to be nickel and diming with some middle class guy from Queens. I was willing to put down $9K, but it was all or nothing with these guys. I’m absolutely not using credit or financing. Fuck that.
