The simple way to make up your mind: If you (or anyone) can afford it and really want it and don’t want to wait to get it at MSRP, get it now and enjoy it!

Keeping in mind that if the “bubble” bursts, you’ll lose a few grand if and when you decide to sell it.

But if someone is willing to pay $45,000 for a $30,000 watch from the get go, then I don’t believe losing a few thousand dollars on a watch you wear and enjoy NOW will really break your bank. You may not be happy about the loss, but it will not hit you hard financially

I say the above putting aside whatever anyone believes about paying over MSRP for anything and whether or not you believe watches are a good investment.

Also, ignoring FOMO and possible buyers remorse when the honeymoon is over.

The more complex way to decide is to add what I ignored and disregarded back into the mix...then it becomes a tougher decision.

That’s how I would make up my mind.
