You can get a pre-loved IWC annual calendar for about $14K. Split-second chronos start at about $5K.

GO ADs can get you ~20% off reliably. I spotted a GO perpetual calendar for $13K the other day on C24.

My point, if you value horology more than hype, it is a good time to buy. If you have FOMO, go get a Rolex.

I recommended a Girard Perregaux Laureato 42mm to my brother, who's a bit of a one-watch man.
A little under the radar, excellent quality and value for money.

He didn't wait for an RO; he just walked into a store, tried several dial versions, bought it straight away with a 10% discount and some goodies...
The next day he took advantage of it and has kept his smile ever since.

Because you want what everyone else wants, you're stuck.
