A visit to an AD in AD

So, I took the blonde out for a retail day at Yas Mall in Abu Dhabi. She went off to look at God knows what, and I cruised over to the Rolex/Tudor shop. I didn’t look at Rolex, so I can’t say whether the shortages/price gouging you guys are talking about in the US is going on here as well. On the Tudor side of the shop, however, it’s a different story. The GMT is still not in stock, with a hefty wait list, but the 58 is available along with the rest of the line up. Pelagoseseses, all the other Black Bay flavors, and so on. To my surprise, I was offered 15% off MSRP for pretty much any Pelagos or B.B. in the shop, including the steel date B.B.
I have to admit I was very tempted. It was my first real look at the rivet bracelet and I didn’t hate it. But, I’ve been married for a loooong time, and I know how that conversation goes.
“What’s in the bag?”
“Nothing.”
“Let me see.”
We all know how that goes, it depends on who has which speaking role.
To recap - 15% off, rivet bracelet is ok in real life, I have no balls.
