I too had to wait 6 months for mine, but that was because of Basel in the good old sane days. Also got a discount too.

Definitely worth the wait. Those were the days, no chance of a discount for me.

I needed it back then as I was looking at a five grand loss at best, you are now looking at a twenty grand instant profit, just so crazy.

Possibly more. they are going for £70 - £80k now

But how could one sell such a gorgeous watch. So simple yet so beautiful.

Chronext are asking £80k but I bet if I offered to sell mine, and said it was pretty much new, they'd offer 50.

Mine came out of the sock drawer for the first time in ages today-such a lovely watch.Im still getting used to the ‘daintiness’ of it compared to the Rolex/Panerai watches I am used to.Prices are crazy now but I’m not tempted to cash in.After originally enquiring at my AD about this watch a few of years ago by email and getting no response,they were very apologetic when we called in to collect a PP prize my wife won on a social media competition and got me one within a few weeks by way of an apology.

You can push them higher but they are usually very slow to raise bid prices. WF are better, esp as they have little/no stock as they don't source from friendly ADs, might be offering £60K.
