Sorry i think of non sense while im exercising

I don't think that's nonsense. It's a very effective way to wear your wealth out of the country if forced to "relocate" and other assets are frozen. Same reason Seattle home prices are what they are (pre-parking assets outside of gov't reach).

With the introduction of the 5740/1G and demand for this presumably higher margin piece, I can see a logic in freeing up calibre 240 supply from the 5712 offering. Perhaps there is anyway enough excess supply of this movement available from other calibration 240 pieces, not least the glut of eg 5327 references.

I would think that watchmakers qualified to turn a 240 into a 5740 would be the bigger bottleneck than production capacity of 240 base calibers. That said, an additional way to free up available 240 bases would be to migrate the 5167 to the 330 (which I've also hears entirely unsubstantiated speculation/conjecture of on this forum).

A friend of me wanted to buy one, found one on chrono24 for about 190K , contacted the seller be he told it was already sold

But that was a very limited special edition. I wouldn't expect its prices to reflect the rest of the line in any way, and would expect it to trade at a premium regardless of the line's popularity. Seems the two compound each other in this case.

What would be less welcome is the undoubted compromise on quality inherent from the cost-cutting/production increase measures taken by a conglomerate or financial buyer. Any buyer choosing to increase SS production would undoubtedly be primarily concerned about the short-term and cashing in on brand history/current hype.
