So if you want to sell the RM you won’t lose much but you can buy a new 5370 from a reputable grey for 210K today. Try and sell it and you’ll lose your ass.
did you ever sell an RM?

Personally no but I know someone that’s sold a few and made money on all of them. And personally I’ve sold some Patek and lost money on them.

No that’s not correct. Before the Nautilus and Aquanaut hype I sold nautilus and aquanauts for less than the discounted msrp I paid for them. I’m not the only TRF Patek owner that has done that either.

It’s funny, but before the hype and before the 20% price increase, and before you had to pay MSRP (if you’re lucky!), some TRFers decided the 5711 was worth selling at a loss. Now everyone thinks 1.5x MSRP is a steal.
