Carl,
I was pleased to return a call to a local fellow who was seeking a
recommendation for Capetown. He wanted to know if what you advertized was
genuine.
My reply was 3-fold:
a. Yes the merchandise is genuine. It is exactly what Carl Marcus says it
is;
b. Capetown holds a unique place. You can purchase at full retail or you
can go to the Caribbean and purchase for far less at a duty-free shop. But
the tariffs on a duty-free purchase would bring the price up considerable.
I told him that he could buy at Capetown and avoid sales tax and get a
watch, possibly a pre-owned watch for less than either full retail or duty
free;
c. Having purchased a high-quality watch, one assumes a solemn obligation to
have it serviced every three or four years. The service is expensive. The
cost is equal to that of a really nice watch. But you get a completely
overhauled and renewed top-of-the-line watch.
I hope that you and Rick Gilmore can do business.
And I hope that you and your family have a good Channukah and that Christmas
is good to you.
Your friend,
R. A. "Andy" Scully
