Is This A Deal For This GMT
I walked into the AD yesterday and they have the GMT I want it is brand new but no box and papers. I guess that they where previously bought but never picked up and fully payed for. It is model number GMT 2234.50.00With a two year in store warenty for $1500.00 my only concern is the fact that there is no box or papers and I am a notorius flipper. If I buy it for 1500 watch only will I take a big hit if I flip it in the future? Thanks

5711a or 5712a if buying used and same price?
In the US, the used price of a 5712 and 5711 are almost exactly the same price. So new question, if they were the same price, would you buy a 5711 or 5712 (both steel with blue dial)?

Visited 4 AD��s in South Florida this week...
While looking for a new Rolex for my wife's up coming birthday, this week I stopped by four different AD's in South Florida.While at each store I also asked about the availability of the elusive GMT 116710 BLNR. While each stored had great inventory none had the BLNR in stock.This is what I experienced:Mayors said they had none in their system but could order one directly through Rolex and could have it in 3-4 weeks with a 20% refundable deposit. I asked if I put a larger deposit or paid in full if I could get it quicker and he said no as it still takes 3-4 weeks to get it from Geneva.Weston Jewelers said they had one come in on Wed. but was sold very quickly as they worked their way down their waiting list. He said no deposit required.JR Dunn laughed and said that their waiting list was very very long but since I bought two watches from them two years ago I would get priority ranking over someone who hadn't made a purchase. He said they haven't had a BLNR in their store in four months
