Anyone got the new 44mm Steel Camo yet?

[gchee]

Am thinking of getting one to replace my 44mm steel panda. What are your thoughts?

[chad362wiley]

Love it on the green strap.

Seems there are several out there readily available. I really like this one at first glance but I just feel it's too much of a novelty, no pun intended :), and would get old fast. I do wear camo often so might work for me longer than most but many other things on my list that I think would be worn much more often and for many years.

From where I am from, there is a 4 months wait list for it. It must be popular although I have yet to see one in the wild. They do come with 2 straps.

Two on this site alone that have been sitting for several weeks and eleven on Chrono24. 4 Months is really nothing is the scheme of wait lists. I do like the strap swapping options, seems a few colors would work with it.

Saw one in ginza couple of months ago and one in Beverly Hills. Looks much better in person than in pictures to me

Seen a couple and did nothing for me but can see how they might be popular to some.

What I don’t understand is I’ve been told it’s a production model and the AP site seems to agree yet a few I’ve seen listed for sale use the terms such as ‘sold out’, ‘sold out edition’ and ‘limited edition’

Not for me. Im not a camo person plus even if I was the novelty factor would wear thin pretty rapidly. Then I have a $40k watch just sitting gathering dust.

Looks a fun watch and good as part of a ROO collection. The yellowish parts might make the camo strap work on my RG.

It would be a fun watch as part of a larger collection.

I don't understand the appeal of this piece, nor the current market pricing. 40K for a niche stainless steel piece like this? So many other ways I would spend that money. I am clearly out of touch.

Yes, I read list is 31k. But many sellers and chrono24 are selling at 40k.

The only reason I can think of is demand outstripped supply and there is a wait list to get one.

Retail is $31k

[ragsk]

Wow thats a circa 50% premium. I still wouldn't buy it - just shows how out of tune I am lol.....

[Marciano490]

I imagine it’ll be much cheaper in 6 months; it’s not limited is it?

[TeddyS]

It’s r ally not my cup of tea at all. Maybe if I see it in person...

Not seen in person but that is one ugly watch!

[DeeTee]

It’s badass in real life.
Not every watch has to be a black/white/blue dial with a metal or black bezel.

[Marciano490]

Anyone have pics not on camo?
