Advice Needed: Whether to Purchase 26574ST After Price Increase

Hi guys,

Timepiece reference 26574ST in blue dial, as you know is still currently in production and I am interested in purchasing it in the near future. I am into complication pieces all along and the perpetual calendar is a good fit to my daily lifestyle with the blue dial color, the complexity of the dial and functions totally amaze me.

Prior to the price increase, I am having some thoughts of obtaining one though previously it wasn't made available to me. However, with the recent massive price increase by more than 15%, I am contemplating whether I should be pulling the trigger to purchase this timepiece from the boutique. This is the only consideration that I have from the price point of view but aesthetic wise, the overall is breathtaking, though I have never seen it in real life before but having seen thorough reviews, pictures and videos associated with it.

What are your thoughts in whether or not to get this timepiece if this is made available to you? On a second note, whether this timepiece is fairly easy to obtain in your country / region?

Would like to put this up for a friendly discussion. Any advice or comments will be very much appreciated.

Thank you.

WL

I would do it. You clearly love it. Seems you would regret not getting it now. Assume prices will only go up over time. The rate at which it moves up is the question in my opinion.

Hmm...I genuinely don't think this is a decision that's in your hands since it is unlikely to be offered by the botique. But if it was... and me personally, I'm probably a pass at this point and I do love the watch.

That is one of the most beautiful timepiece, I would take it. It might be a good time to ask for 15202ST at the same time too.

Thanks for your advice however the price point is the only considerations that I have that stopped me from pulling the trigger.. It is over 15% increase which is way out of my prediction.. I think I need to give it a serious consideration whether I am able to get pass through the price point..

Probably a pass because of what reason?

I had acquired a 15202ST a couple of years ago.. Don't think there will be any special piece that can be requested for if purchased the 26574ST
