Ridiculous. Sales for the same price of a 5524G. Good for the seller if he finds a buyer.

Isn't $70,000 for an Aquanaut a good deal?

just came here for the laugh after perusing the FS.

All it takes is one buyer with more money than god and no connections I guess. Still

i'm sure if you bought a couple of calatravas at the same time they'd let you buy the aquanaut

I am used to the financial markets where you have to post a two sided marked (bid and offer). Would love to see what he would pay for my aquanaut.

Nearly fell out of my chair when I saw the prices for the 5522A and 5168G. The 5522A is the less outrageous of the two IMO because it's limited, but the 5168G... There's that famous PT Barnum saying.

$15K reduction on that 5168G to $55K. Bargain for the ages.

I think it's more caveat emptor.

$38,557 retail not limited why not just order one from an AD. I'd guess by mid November AD's will be receiving them.

its a regular production item. Agree- just order it.

Now if they made this watch in steel at say 25k- it would fly off the shelves even more. Curious to see what they do at basel next year.

I had the RG aquanaut 5167R and liked it a lot but I couldn't get over the price for what it was. I was always looking at my wrist and saying 30K ?

For the 5522 I can easily understand any price north of $60k.
