Yeah. I can picture it now (I just sent my wife around that amount +25k, she paid a bill with the 25k (wasn’t sure how much it would be) and the rest of the money never made it back to me…

“Hey you know that money I sent you? I need it for a watch.”

So I heard a random rumor from a SA that VC will release another version of 222 at watch and wonders but he's not sure if it will be the TT or SS, anyone can confirm on their side?

Doesn't really make sense for VC to make a SS model, the gold is higher margin and there's no difficulties getting rid of them. If anything, I'm thinking other PM

My local VC boutique manager has been swearing for years that they'll never make a SS 222.

Too bad, they offered me the gold version and I totally loved it but couldn't pull off the YG.

I love the look of YG 222 but I don't it's worth $80k.

If they fit the 222 with the 1120 it will be flying off the shelves. Until then, nah.

I doubt they’ll do a steel 222 anytime soon. Maybe white gold or some other precious metal. That being said, if they announce a steel 222 I’ll immediately put myself on the waitlist so I can maybe get one in 20 years.

I'm sure they're keeping the steel on standby to release when sales really lag.

222 msrp is 74k. 5811 70k, so within range of competition

Yes and no, patek 5811 is white gold which is more expensive than yellow, also patek has better resale value, in my humble opinion they should have sticked to their old release price and not raise it to 74. Especially the hype has gone down across board even the overseas sells at retail now adays..
