If the darn thing is ever shipped, this will be my next watch.

 

Thanks guys. I thought DXB would be cheaper, guess I was wrong.

 

Be sure to check this watch out in person.

I have come very close to buying it on several occasions but when I got it on my wrist, I just didn't like it that much.

I think B & R make a great product. But it just isn't for me.

 

Love it... got mine from amazon a while back and really wore the hell out of it

 

Depends but the biggest AHOLES I've seen are Porsche sales people and BMW.


Knowledge yes Subpar for sure, once a BMW salesman told me the topspeed is not limited to 175mph and in fact it was.

They have no idea, even the whole A-Z processing doesnt feel your buying a luxury car in most places such as Porsche, BMW, Mercedes, Audi it's normal.

 

first, 3eedik embarak bojwais! 7asafa mo em3ayyid ma3akom so our schedules are mixed up, would've been nice to meet up. we should soon, LOTS of stuff to catch up on!

second, yeah i remember when my cousin ordered his 335ci (i think that's the model, with the single turbo), he called me to ask about the "BMW F1 system". i told him it's called SMG and it's not available for the ci, order an M3 instead (this was back years ago). i went to the AD, for the 1st time in my adult life going to BUY something from an auto AD (i don't believe in cars at list/full price), and the sales guy would INSIST until i asked him nicely for a catalogue to show him that he was wrong.

watches: the reason i did not buy my rolex yacht-master in 2007 from the AD was because i asked which serial started the inner-bezel script and he said it's been since 2005 or something and i respectfully told him no and asked if it was Z or what. did not like the attitude, so i went and got it brand new from a grey market (abdulmajeed watches in Awgaaf)

to be honest and completely blunt, my biggest issue is not the lying or sleaziness nor the lack of knowledge, it's the attitude that they are as if doing me a favour and i'm talking about those certain Arab nationalities
the indian/pakistani/filipino salespeople are much more fun to chat with and EXCELLENT to deal with. they remember you and greet you well.

 

I know what you mean, the best service of watches I received was roles and audemars.

Audemars even went and got me a Starbucks.

 

haha that's nice of them! i love talking to Natheer at AP
the guy has a lot of stories to tell

 

To be honest best deride abroad, buy a watch outside such as Europe it's completely different.
