That’s even more crazy. But yeah, there is always someone with too much money who doesn’t care :) I personally wouldn’t pay more than 25k euros for it.

As an enthusiast for decades, it pisses me off too.

Btw, when I saw the MB&F Tribe-only pop up for sale



PS, noticed you can choose a black strap. Still, we need orange pretty pleeeease :)

Yes. When I saw the EWC listing, the first I’d seen, it was one of those “really” moments.

When the vintage Rolex guys (and gals) were all bemoaning the rise and rise and then exponential rise in prices I can say I wasn’t so empathetic. What goes around….

Is this actually happening? If I'm an owner, can I get my endlinks replaced with these extending endlinks? If so, I would be super excited. The lack of an extension in the endlinks was the only stumbling block that I had to purchasing my Antarctique, but I eventually decided to lay down the coin anyway. If you have any info about this, I would love to hear it.

Yes, it is being released on Thursday's Monochrome special edition that has the upgraded / adjustable bracelet. Decided if i can get one, will reserve it :)

E-mail them to see if the newly-designed adjustable butterfly clasp can be retrofitted to yours.

Details on it are at https://monochrome-watches.com/intro...ability-price/

Wow! I’ve been waiting for this but totally missed it in the Monochrome announcement. I really hope it’s true that current owners will get it for free (and hope their parts supply issues subside so I can actually get it!).

Congratulations to those that grabbed the Monochrome edition…you won’t be disappointed.

Haven't you all heard? Watches are the new crypto investment vehicle of choice.

Your 5711 White Dial will be worth $11.5 Million in 2023.

Only 20 minutes until the Monochrome limited edition goes on sale. It'll be cool to see who is able to get one before they're sold out.

Sounds like they went online 5 mins earlier than they promised? Not sure if that's really fair or not. Regardless, they really sold like hotcakes!

I have been telling people to get an Antarctique a long time ago before it was hot. They scoffed at me. Now they all come back asking for an allocation…

(Deep Sigh) I feel ya there. You can only do so much, as I have also had moments trying to help friends. The upside is, we hope, next time they will be more attentive

I've been a VERY curious onlooker like many here. This new release resonates with me so went for it

Great sign that they are selling the way they are. Watching the antarctique series and the reviving a watch brand series on youtube really makes one appreciate the brand. Having all the components made to their own spec by some of the best suppliers in the watch industry is impressive.
