But I fear that’s not happening, and that doesn’t mean I want a 5711 or 5167.

I can’t comprehend why ADs don’t open up a bit more for those interested in the brand and can demonstrate they’re legitimate collectors. Both sides win over the longer term. But, I’m getting the vibe that in this economy and market it isn’t happening. Either you’re a VIP, you’re a ghost, or you occasionally might win the lottery.

Not a thing wrong with buying a pre-owned watch. Even if you are made of money, a 16k savings is just smart business. If it bothers you, send it in for service and it will come back looking like brand new and you will still have saved a bundle.
