Can you really buy a 5980A + 5711R with a 5980R
That just feels...wrong on so many levels...thoughts?
I see the 5980-1R on bracelet going for like $180...that's almost as much as a 5711R and a 5980A or a 5980A + 5711A That much for gold? |

However if we look at the MSRP of 5980A (last MSRP was around £ 35000) and MSRP of 5711R (£ 40800) it does not appear that bad as current MSRP of 5980/1R is £ 67540 There is a 5980/1R listed at £ 182700 and that is almost the MSRP of a 5270P and a 5711R. The same dealer has listed a 5204P at £ 182700 and a 5370P at £ 173565. I think that is insane. |

Offer price would be 30,40K lower than asking, so not quite that much leverage but yes its all crazy all the time now.

This bubble is going to burst and burst hard. People buying 40 or 50k watches didn’t get in that position by being stupid with their money. This is just dumb.

I am all for bubbles, but the sub-bubble of the master bubble is getting bigger than the master bubble itself! That's TOO BUBBLY!!!! It defies the physics of bubbles!

I'm curious how much of this is driven by collectors outside of the US who seem to prefer gold.

Raise your hand if you would pay 180k for a 5980r on a bracelet.
We have some of the most enthusiastic watch fans here so let see how many actually would pay that much for this watch? |

It will rise further when it is discontinued. I think it is likely to be discontinued next year.

yes, correct. it will be interesting to see the successor of 5980. i hope it won't be derivatives of the 5990, which for me is an ugly duckling - others surely see this differently.

Seems like I am the only one who feels the chrono pushers kill the beautiful symmetry of the Nautilus case, no matter if on the 5980 or 5990. I do like the 5968 though as the Aquanaut case is asymmetric by nature...

Don’t feel bad. I sold a 5980 steel for 40k about 3 years ago. Wasn’t wearing it- felt a bit small on my wrist. Yada yada. Oh well....
