I wish I could swing a package deal right, but leaning towards the IWC for now because 1)its fucking beautiful and a great watch and 2) the Overseas is 20k more which isn't out of the budget, but isn't in the budget right now. Upcoming bonuses and what not would make it an easier purchase next year.
So would the approach be, "I'll pay full value for the IWC now, but next year when I'm interested in getting the VC next year, we work something out that's a little more in line with "market" prices?" The $1.5-2k now is basically a drop in the bucket for the Overseas and gives him some more wiggle room. Or do I take a harder line an say "cut me a deal today on the IWC and when I'm ready to get the VC I'll come back to you?"
Other than my wife's watch, I haven't had much dealing with ADs - and all they were willing to do was remove the tax if I had it shipped somewhere else. Saved a nice amount of money, but wasn't really a deal. Pretty much everything else I've purchased has been 3rd party or direct from the company, i.e., microbrands.
I appreciate the info.
