oldman2005 · 10 November 2018, 07:27 AM

Pretty turtle! Can't blame you.

ArtNouveau · 10 November 2018, 07:32 AM

Do it!

imperio · 10 November 2018, 07:48 AM

You can always sell it later if you change your mind

That's what I always tell myself to tip me over the edge

BNA/LION · 10 November 2018, 08:32 AM

BUY It Immediately!

037 · 10 November 2018, 08:34 AM

STOP... and buy it.

MP5 · 10 November 2018, 08:34 AM

I will do no such thing!

Richie070 · 10 November 2018, 08:58 AM

Truly a nice piece.......get it!! ;)

Rolexwatch12 · 10 November 2018, 10:05 AM

It does look awesome. Now at the top of my list.

Resistance is futile. Post pix after you get it. The Omega Planet Ocean in the same colors costs far more.

scarlet knight · 10 November 2018, 01:17 PM

Would love to see it on an orange strap.

konarider530 · 10 November 2018, 03:08 PM

Like this or full on orange?

scarlet knight · 10 November 2018, 05:46 PM

Really Orange

Ichiran · 10 November 2018, 08:51 PM

It's really cruel to stop anyone buying this beauty.

Rolexwatch12 · 10 November 2018, 11:46 PM

Go for what you love

bigfatpauli · 11 November 2018, 01:44 AM

You: "Tell me not to buy a watch!"

Me: <cracks knuckles> "You've come to the wrong place, buddy..."

TheVTCGuy · 11 November 2018, 02:35 AM

Update: They are only available in Europe, at least from what I can tell, and I have no idea what the MSRP is, but the cheap(er) ones on Ebay are going for $1,000 to $1,400. I have Made offers to two different sellers that come close to a thousand dollars, but both were rejected. I am really not willing to pay over that for this watch, no matter how much i like it. Do any of our Europe TRFers have an idea where to get it from an AD? Is it possible? What’s the price? Just thinking out loud but if anyone could help me out I appreciate it.

If you want someone from this side of the pond to get it for you and ship it across, just ask
Chances of getting one still unsold may be fairly remote – spoke with Jura, and they were available from the Friday, and sold out by Saturday lunchtime!

Thank you PJS! I just ordered one online at a great price, around $699. It has not been conirmed yet so I don’t know if it is in stock but let’s hope so!

Thanks again PJS!

IF/When I get it, pictures will be posted.

Just wait until the market calms down...

Plus the crowns on these turtles are pretty much trash. 90% of the ones I have handled feel like the threads aren't cut with any precision. Gritty, inconsistent turns of the crown, cross threading risk....just gnarly.

Before screwing the crown back down you pretty much need to run waxed dental floss over the threads to keep it anywhere near smooth.

Torque Time · 11 November 2018, 05:50 AM

Beauty. Why wait...it’s only € and you can’t take it w you!

Rockrolex · 11 November 2018, 06:10 AM

Why should we?

Star Ferry · 11 November 2018, 06:22 AM

i would encourage you to get a turtle but you don't need to pay so much premium for this specific color scheme, unless you really love it. for over $1000 there are higher grade prospex divers you can get

SearChart · 11 November 2018, 06:38 AM

Well, congrats in advance Paul

hitman23 · 11 November 2018, 08:24 AM

i paid $600 for my orange turtle. money well spent IMO. these are insta-fun pieces. not looking for high quality at that price point.

Onequik135i · 11 November 2018, 10:19 AM

I would consider picking one up too, not bad for a $600 purchase. Unique color indeed.

TheVTCGuy · 11 November 2018, 01:30 PM

I am more then willing to pay that amount, although I have an order in with Watch 24 in Europe, it is kind of confusing as they have not taken my payment information. I received a a vague email from the jeweler (I guess) that I THINK is stating it is back ordered.

HK Islandboy · 11 November 2018, 05:27 PM

I handled one of these yesterday at a local dealer’s shop - very nice!

He was asking around USD760
