I agree with you. I think $4,250 is really pushing it for a non-chronometer head with rubber strap, albeit limited to a fairly generous 2,500 pieces. I happily paid HK$2,700 (with 15% AD discount) for my SLA019 last year (same movement, ceramic bezel, bracelet and rubber strap, only 1,968 made), but this one is a no for me.
