If you like it, don’t mind the premium, worry about the “price increase” or it getting discontinued then go for it. Otherwise wait for an AD MSRP BNIB one

Well that is roughly MSRP plus tax , so if it really is BNIB from this month then yes I think it’s fair if you don’t mind buying it second hand

Maybe the realization is beginning to set in that the coming of the new year did not open the flood gates for supply to the ADs as many expected, and the thought of eluding the small to big premiums on the secondary market is a moving target for those of us who feel waiting a couple of months is one thing, but years or infinite uncertainty is something else. By all accounts up to this point, every sports models is rumored to be discontinued and Rolex is selling out to the Swatch Group. But of course, this is purely all speculation.

I boils down to what your time is worth. Waiting 6 months to save a few hundred dollars is crazy with this level of a luxury purchase.
