Thanks Jeff, can't wait to go there! Sounds like great fun bargaining with the guy. Reading your story I had to think of Monty Python's Life of Brian ( market bargaining scene where it was impossible to buy without bargaining, either downward or upward ..haha).
I have the CD, so I will see it just before leaving and practice a bit. As a Dutchmen we have some bargaining skills so let's see.
My approach is to go there with trade watches, look whether he has them as well for sale and check the asking price before showing mine's. From there on start bargaining. Takes a bit of luck of course
Have a couple of Universal Geneve and Blancpain Fifty Fathoms that I have to trade.

NY will be a success in any case. Black+ White Carrera Dato waiting which I bought from an OTD'er two months ago. My sister kep it meanwhile saving 19% Dutch import tax.

Thanks buddy!

Ron
