Everything has a price
Watches, cars, wines, even records, sell over rrp luxury stuff more so Pokémon cards even If you want something, and can afford it, what's the problem? Nobody gets hurt. We do fuss over this. It's not really a philosophy or moral issue we need to worry about. Some people wait forever, go without, others pay!? |

I never buy from a grey. But if I wanted one and I couldn’t get one in a ‘reasonable’ timescale, then yes I would. Life is too short

In my opinion, “real price” is what you’re ready to pay for. Less or more from retail, doesn’t matter...

Based on the responses here people don’t value the 5711 enough to pay the massive premium. |

Don't think I could live with myself if I did it. Similar train of thought as Tom pointed out above.
It's a great time only ss piece, but 30k is already pushing it, imo. |

Another no from me, but I don't particularly like the Nautilus. Hanging out here for a while created a temporary doubt in my mind that I needed one until I got my Rolex back from service.

Ah come on, you do get something more with the Nautilus: those flabby "love handles" on either side of the case :-)

I have one. And there's NO WAY I'd pay anything other than the prevailing list price for it.
It's just not that nice. |

It was too steel grey for me to pull the trigger at a small discount a few years ago. Soft bracelet also made me want to go gold. Now no way, Pedro!

As you said end of 2021 its not impossible we have a downturn/correction this winter/Spring then the rebuild starts again next summer, and with SM so prevalent anything can get hypebeasted up pretty sharp, but seems unlikely we will get back to any higher than now.

no chance. it feels like a $25k watch when you wear it, so I would feel terrible owning it. Same thing with the daytona, it simply does not feel like a $25k watch on the wrist, so I wouldn't pay above msrp for it.

I have the cash and the answer is no. Absolutely no way I'm paying over $20k above retail for it, or any watch.

No.
We buy a watch partly to reflect how we perceive ourselves. It isn't just a utilitarian object. I do not want to be THAT guy. |
