I bought the first steel 5711 my AD got in with no premiums or strings attached...................but then something got into him: now if someone wants a Nautilus they pay a premium AND have to buy a second Patek. He's also gone into putting premiums on any sought after watches (100% premium on a steel Daytona).
He's not my AD any longer and many of his other long standing customers have left him.
Don't give in to this sort of thing...you're AD is no gentleman.
