If you would like to wear it, in the next 2 plus years, you do. Or buy the DJ Blue

Beautiful watch. Wear it in good health.

If you want it now then buy it. Life is too short.

EDIT: just saw you picked one up, congrats!

jetfab95 · 1 September 2018, 06:00 PM

Congrats! I did the same and bought a black sky dweller over retail brand new last week. I tried AD for SS models in whole APAC, UK and FR, and no way to get any of them except you have bought tons of day date or date just. Therefore paying a bit of a premium is ok if you like the watch.

NO! Have patience you must -YODA

BrazenC5 · 1 September 2018, 07:35 PM

you made the right call. congrats!

Stevec14 · 1 September 2018, 07:40 PM

Congrats. Not that my opinion matters, but I think you made the right call. You could have Bren waiting years. If the money isn’t an issue, then it’s worth the uptick for the pleasure you will get.

Congrats again.

Exactly my thoughts Steve. Ain’t gonna be getting this model from an AD anytime soon!

HK Islandboy · 2 September 2018, 08:07 PM

Congratulations! And good call to pick it up now. It is a great piece

challer · 2 September 2018, 10:35 PM

There is nothing magic about MSRP. Vendors work on multiples of 3 to 10x cost of goods. We'll never know what their multiple is. Paying over MSRP is not a thing, it just changes the multiplier. To the people who say the wait is parti of the experience, what do you mean? Do you wait years to buy a car you want?

brandrea · 2 September 2018, 10:43 PM

Congratulations, great looking reference, and if it’s worth it to you to pay over retail then that’s all that matters.

Stringerb3ll · 2 September 2018, 10:54 PM

Great looking watch.

I think you made the right decision, if it puts a smile on your face and doesn't dent your wallet beyond repair then do it.

Who knows what tomorrow may bring.

travisb · 2 September 2018, 10:57 PM

Congrats! Now just enjoy it!

BLNR1 · 3 September 2018, 12:18 AM

Not worth it IMO

No, this is the main reason we are in this dumb situation.

Congrats, ultimately we are a Watch forum not a Money forum so if it is in your best interests then go for it.

Congratulations

amilch · 3 September 2018, 01:23 AM

I wouldn’t do it. Try to get on a list and be patient good luck

katiedaddy · 3 September 2018, 01:35 AM

Congrats! Just bought a hulk at a premium now I wish I had pulled the trigger sooner.

My problem is that I just can't justify buying a bunch of stuff at the AD that I don't want in order to enable me to get priority on a list for desirable sports models.....out of principle there is also part of me that doesn't want to give grey market dealers the satisfaction of me paying premium.

As silly as this may sound, I would rather Rolex to change their pricing on desirable models (ie. the daytona, blue skydweller etc..) to 20-25k....but doubtful that will ever happen.

Rant over.
