Im curious why there is such a big price increase for the new Black Bay Chrono S&G vs the older Black Bay Chrono Stainless Steel? Is the gold on the watch really worth the $6,800 price tag vs the $5,050 for the stainless steel or is this the price hike everyone has been talking about that Rolex was going to be implementing? I don't really have a dog in this fight as I do not plan on getting either of these models but just found the price discrepancy interesting.

I'm not sure what the gripe is with the cost of the new Chrono S&G on a full bracelet.

Breitling charges $8200 for the same movement in their premier Navitimer on a leather bracelet, steel watch and no PM at all. Solid, wrapped doesn't matter, you get no gold. $6800 doesn't seem so bad.

Makes the Navitimer seem way overpriced all things considered. But we knew that already right?

AD told me the bezel and endlinks are solid gold. the rest are gold capped.
I put a deposit for the TT bracelet but now having second thoughts. The dial does look good and inviting
