If I may suggest, look at what FPJ and ALS offer in that $30k range. Food for thought, you could get a brand new with 5 year warranty Rolex GMT even at Grey pricing, a new Panerai with 8 year warranty, and a new Grand Seiko with 3 year warranty for $30k.

And you can get 100 seikos for that price! Patek is patek! It doesn’t seem like he’s really interested in getting his money’s worth, if he was then you would be right, he would be looking at other brands!
Al bought something from bob and paid him with a bag of cash, bob didn’t bother checking the bag to see what was inside, bob used that bag to buy something else from Jeff, now Jeff didn’t either check the bag, so and so forth the bag went from person to person until one day, someone decided to check the bag to make sure that there was something inside, and Lo and behold it was empty.
The point of this story is no one minds taking the empty bag as long as they can pass it on to the next person,
The same with over paying for watches above msrp, in exchange for your money you are taking an empty bag (proof is that even patek didn’t think it was worth more when they decided on a msrp)
That bag/watch can be passed from person to person until someone checks the bag.
With the watches one day someone will open all these bags, the point is not to be the last one holding the bag
