NEW PSA: Thewatchery now 20% off with Bing on <$12.5k

[Shikar]

First time I have used Bing, so lets see what happens... I saw an earlier PSA for Ashford, but happened on thewatchery.com site and they also have the 50% off. Enjoy.
I bought a IWC Mark XVI for $4400 - 50% =2200 on a steel bracelet, I think its a decent looking pilot watch but I would like your opinion please.


Regards.

^^So there is no dollar limit on the amount you will receive back?

It's a ***** trying to browse through that site. Damn annoying.

Just got an email from Bing.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You earned $2234.50 from your TheWatchery.com purchase on 8/18/2009: Details\tcashback TheWatchery.com Unit price: $4469.00 Quantity: 1\t $2234.50 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Regards. PS. I would like your opinion on the IWC Mark XVI please.

PSS. Next time I need to find something better to do while waiting for dinner!!!

Apparently, the watch cannot cost more than $5000. Bummer. I would have jumped at the IWC I was looking for, but it's close to double that.

Usually it is $2500 per year.

Congrats, that is a great deal.
I would have jumped on that deal too.
Sadly, i think you took their last stock.

The Mark XVI is a great watch, I have the Spitfire Mark XVI and absolutely love it.

How long did it take for your bing notification to arrive?

Noticed that after reading the fine print. The IWC Portuguese Automatic 7 Day with black face is my grail. Called, but couldn't get them to figure a way to qualify for the bing cash back (i.e. splitting up price/using two separate accounts). Was offered the watch for $8,000, but still more than I could spend. Would have done it for sub $5K for sure.

If anyone knows of a better hook up to this watch, let me know.

I'd kill anything you name for that watch under 5k.

Wish there were an IWC under 5k. It's the highest end brand that has a shot of being under. There are a few Omegas, but nothing I liked. I wish you could buy a watch over 5k, but settle for 2.5k back. I would love to get a IWC Portuguese Chrono Automatic for $3700

Any of the siekos any good for a decent beater watch with a suit?

 

[RFX45]

In the Ashford website, they have an IWC Ingeneur AMG for less than $5k.
It is worth a look for those interested in an IWC.
