Hello board,

After a few months of research, I have decided to purchase a Superocean Steelfish. I am really excited and cannot wait to purchase. Thing is, what should I pay? The watch is being purchased from an authorized dealer in the continental US and will be shipped out of state. Right now, I have the dealer just under $2400 for the watch and the professional II bracelet and a black diver pro.

Thanks for any help. This board is really enjoyable and I look forward to posting pictures after the purchase.

There seem to be quite a few slightly used ones for sale right now on some of the watch forums for good prices. They seem to go in spurts. Either there are a ton of them out there or hardly any. Buying slightly used seems the way to go financially unless you want the excitement of a brand new one, which I certainly understand.
You definately can do better than $2400 for that set-up. There are AD's willing to do 30% for out of state customers which also means...no sales tax.

Have you tried the"group Buy" run by Mario (in2deep)? Perhaps a better price can be found there? 2400 is OK, not great. I have been quoted 2200 locally and my local AD sucks! :x I will also PM you an AD that has sold to me for a great price. :D

Welcome!

That decision process is really a nice trip. Glad to hear you found your model! Regarding price, I think you already have the answers above.
