I’m really glad I’m not in the market for anything these days.

You’re right Richie. It sure won’t be me though, even if available.

Both are just capitalizing on the moment and making as much as they can from those willing to pay it.

Can’t say I’m fine with it. They’ve made a ton of business just on this forum alone. Maybe I’m just too old school (or too old) but it seems like a slap in the face that they would press the advantage to this extent.

Saw his post with it on IG. Clicked thru to the site. I needed a good chuckle.

Random photoshop of you and I just because...

Tim:

Please wear a tie next time. It may not seem that important, but someone has to keep the standards up.

I am afraid of the slippery slope. First we stop wearing ties with sports coats. Next Rolex will downgrades its guarantee to +/- a half hour a day. Before you know it Chewie is drinking non-alcoholic beer and eating fat free granola.

Stay safe.

You’ll lose your shirt paying msrp for a Tudor don’t pay over lol

After 37,000 post and countless hours of reading of the forums, you have to ask? LOL! I totally get where you’re coming from, it’s frustrating, it ruins the joy of being an watch enthusiasts but what to do?

Give it a little time and I’m sure you’ll find the price you want.

It’s the talk of the Tudor watch world at the moment. Give it time, and prices will drop.

Haha been there done that. Never regret the watches they are great but with my bird brain every Tudor I’ve bought and subsequently sold has cost me more than any steel Rolex to own.

Now i do think the 58 and gmt have changed that a bit. Those purchased at msrp arent horrid even a few years later. But most wont be able to sell for msrp let alone msrp plus tax.

Hang in there, Angelo. You'll be able to find one for closer to what it's actually worth once this dies down and more are out there. I certainly feel your pain though and miss the days when you could actually visit an AD to see a watch, buy it, and not have this be as big an issue. It'll only make your inevitable incoming thread that much more special once this day arrives

It’s back up on his site.

Of course. They are getting more shipments next month and people are already lowering the price to around 500 above msrp plus tax.

Had it come out during normal basel i dont think it would sell for much of a premium. Being the only new tudor or rolex release this year it was bound to happen though.

Ultimately it will just drive the price of the black 58 and this down.

New kid on the block is always hot for a minute. Some folks just have to have it and have it now.. Seen a Trusted Seller at $5700. and a private seller at $4500. today. MSRP $3700. Not my money, Thank You

That's excellent news for Angelo and all who want to get their hands on this piece
