I guess the question generally applies to any hyped AP/PP/Rolex piece

How old?
What model?
% discount off what price?

And actually, with vintage I would prefer to have the provenance so I am not sure what I would think about that, either.

Stolen?

Yeah if its a modern watch from the last say 5 years it's a big red flag and should come with a significant discount. I can understand a watch that's 20, 30, 40 years old.
