Why are you hesitating? Because it is available and won't appreciate in price. That shouldn't matter if you like the watch

maybe it's because it's 50k for a watch he might like and also likes the brand and hopes to build purchase history but he is not sure if it's really worth it. I guess it's also because there is not much else available.
I am totally familiar with this feeling that's why I always passed on the code ceramic WG chrono -even though I liked it since release, I would only buy if it would lead to something I really really want.

I am holding out for a titamium offshore...

Thanks to all for the help
I have a titanium offshore and it's awesome.
I understand the code hesitation...but in person the watches are far more impressive than photos. If it didn't strike you that you had to have it in person, it's not the right piece for you. Never look back.

It’s a gorgeous piece! Maybe it will end up in your collection down the line - for now, the hunt stays alive. Good luck!

Are you sure about this? Plenty of folks who bought a code and still can't a RO on their next purchase. I have heard horror stories of these folks only be offered another Code

Horror, as in getting your limbs sawed off or brain eaten by zombies? Being stuck with a new $30k gold watch is right up there. The horror! The horror!

Lol well maybe not that bad.

Just trying to make the point that there are no guarantees even if you buy a Code and that it isn't out of the realm of possibility that you may be offered another Code for your 2nd purchase. I mean dropping 30-50k on a watch you don't want to build good will with the brand is already rough. Being asked to do it again is pretty horrific (at least to me).

I agree that might be quite disappointing.

As an aside, I am totally envious of your panda ROC. GRAIL piece for me. Still holding out hope my SA can source me any remaining piece now that it is discontiuned.
