by how much? for this particular reference, 1-2k is fair

Good for you, life is short, enjoy!
Been collecting over 25 years and I get it. The fair market allows us to trade pieces of our collections on current values which can be comforting.

Know what's funny?

I always say "I can't afford grey" when I want a reference that's a few grand more than retail.

So I get on the list and wait.

In the time it takes to get the watch, I end up buying another watch to placate me in the interim (GS, Longines, etc..)

When my watch arrives, I sell the interim reference usually at a loss of a few thousand dollars. For a relatively smart guy, I can be pretty dumb sometimes.

Love the VTNR, enjoy it OP!

Doesn’t matter where you bought it, you have it now and instant enjoyment

The older I get the more time matters to me more than money, so if I would rather have something now and not wait then I would pay a fair premium to do so, this applies to all things in life nowadays, I'm just not nearly as patient as I was even 10 years ago.

I feel your pain. I did the same on a 126610lv. I don't want to suck up to a business to buy a watch and I may be dead before it's my 'turn', unless I get gazumped by a heavy hitter then past my turn.

No, it was worth the coin to have the watch now and enjoy it, which I do every time I look at it on my wrist.

Congratulations and just enjoy it

They are upgrading their Vic store and increasing the sq footage for Rolex.

I have said before that i wouldn't pay one penny over MSRP and that still holds true today.

Congratulations! I’ve said this before. I’m 68. I could wait five years to maybe get a Daytona, or I could kick the bucket long before it arrives. So I paid market price for a black dial 126500. No regrets.
