are you comfortable with the sellers? Always buy seller first and rather pay it a bit more. You are in San Diego and seller is in Mumbai?

Always buy new If the difference is that negligible..

[Benzsiam]

New is a lot better if the difference is so little like that.

You also should ask BNIB that what is the date on the warranty card? It might be BNIB but it can be dated back 2-3 years also.

For me at that price range i'd rather just cough up for MSRP and get it from a boutique knowing it's 100% authentic. I view the MSRP price like a 5k premium insurance for authenticity.

If purely between the two, then option A.

i'll buy new since it's not a big difference in price

[AK797]

This is a luxurious piece so go new as long as the seller is 100%.

I would buy this from an AD. I think 45k from AD is possible as this one is not hard to find.
