I really resent that old cliché hackneyed saying " if you have to ask" .
Do those of you who "don't have to ask", just get a bill and pay whatever it says never knowing until then what it costs.?..... I explained that I am not infinitely wealthy unlike the non askers and don't like surprises.
Yes you can go through the "enquire" route, leave your contact info etc. but I like the instant knowledge better.
I was looking at a well known manufacturer site the other day who used to have good USA wide distribution. I Asked for my local dealer and was told the manufacturer was it. I have seen this often where there aren't any/many dealers.
I often go to reviews to find prices but why be round about.
Why be secretive I think it is a question of some concern over value as Ipretiring said.
Now I have to get me a better watch "?Richard Mille?" at least I'll know the price.
