Does anyone know if this LE has to be purchased on bracelet?

Don't see why it would be. I'm sure that your AD would swap it over anyway.

May have to see this one in the metal just to make sure the red isn't too much.

The date is the only thing I would consider to be pushing it towards too much red, but even that might have a unique appeal in person.

It's pointless buying from the US - you'll get whacked for import duty on top of the HST, plus handling charges and HST on the handling charges.

I've always been able to get the same discount on an LE as on any other watch, though I may be in the minority. That said, if opinions on here are any indication, this LE won't exactly be flying off the shelves without some discounting help. The stores (even within the same chain) have to compete with one another so it's worth playing one off against another, and I can give you contact details for an Ontario AD if that helps - not sure what the tax situation is now that both ON and BC have moved to HST instead of GST / PST - you always used to be able to buy out of province with only GST charged.

oh really same discount huh...

I will make sure I don't let my AD tell me otherwise....When I was inquiring about a black steel BB she was telling me that they don't usually discount the LE's....

yeah if you can PM me the AD in Ont. that would be much appreciated as I am heading out there at the end of the month anyways and wouldn't mind comparing prices....

Not interested in staying loyal to La Swiss if they cant give me the best price obv.

Unfortunately, that is not what I have been told over here

The most they would give me for the B01 Navi is 3% off

But I'm going to check with another AD next week :wink:
