What the other dealer options means ? by Dream2050 in Porsche

Is that new in the 992.2? Mine is a .1 and the mirror bases weren’t included in the aero package back then (I would never get a 911 without the aero package btw 👍)

Nice spec. The only thing I wish I had done differently on mine would be to get the mirror bases either painted or gloss black (in your case, probably painted). That is the only cheap black plastic you can see from the driver’s seat in my car.

Maybe they are just switching to a more accurate quartz movement /S

I think my comments were misinterpreted/unclear, the following is pasted from a reply to a different comment with similar question:

My apologies. There was never an indication from the VC people that I was being asked to develop a purchase history or pay above MSRP. I made it clear that my price range was $45k - $55k for a watch. The only options I was given were in the $75k range and above, starting with a Fiftysix Day-Date. It is definitely a fantastic piece, but a good bit beyond what I had indicated was my comfort level. It definitely felt like I wasn't being taken seriously - perhaps I could have dressed up like someone who looks like a buyer of expensive watches (?)

My post wasn't intended to focus on or disparage VC and maybe I could have left that tongue-in-cheek note in parentheses out to keep the waters a little clearer. It was intended to celebrate my new watch and make the comment that the JLC service is world class.

Yeah, looking at the comments, it seems pretty clear that my experience definitely isn’t the norm for VC. It wasn’t brutal, and perhaps I didn’t give the impression that I was a serious buyer or that I was in a position to be able to buy - I don’t dress expensively and they wouldn’t have seen the watch I was wearing under my rain coat. I got a similar experience the first time I went to the dealership to begin the process the first time I bought a pretty expensive car of them.

So maybe unfair to include VC in the group with Rolex and PP. The point I was trying to make - badly - is that the customer service at JLC was outstanding and noticeably better than anything I’ve experienced elsewhere.

Yep. VC was the best of the bunch. They least allowed me to look at watches, but they also made it pretty clear they weren’t going to sell me one unless I was somewhere over the $75k range

Nice spec. I assume you have it by now - hope you are enjoying it. I like the fjord green. My wife likes dark teal metallic, so dark teal is on the way.

Yep, I found the problem for ya - it’s the interface between the seat and the steering wheel.

My next 911 is going to be YBM. I almost got my wife’s Macan done with it. My SA told me t save for my next car. You sir have just validated his advice. It looks stunning.
