People can ask for whatever, it doesn’t mean it will sell for that price!!

Only crazy if someone pays the asking price.

Haha or this is the new price. Just takes a few more Greys to raise their price and it's the new market price. The Grey prices for a blnr or lv have only been moving up for the past few months - "charge what the market will bear".
Someone is paying those blro prices... Might as well try on other rares lol

People with “forget you” money, don’t care. They want it, they buy it...and they are buying.

Yup that's my thought above about this being the new price. The great thing about a limited supply - if you can capture the supply you can charge what you want. If I'm a Grey and i sell a blnr in one month... I'm going to raise the price and wait three months to make more profit. And all my Grey friends will see my price and raise their price to match. Rolex, please raise the msrp and slow down demand.

Some doughnut will probably haggle them down to 12k and feel like that have a bargain. As another post mentioned. You can pick them up for £8500 with no problem at all.

It must have been placed in the wrong slot... Surely

They’re a disgusting organisation.
They certainly are. I took a lovely Omega Aquaterra into their Chester store to see what they’d offer.
Full box papers, desirable dial colour in great shape. £375

WF offered £1800 as an outright buy, and £2k on a part ex for a more expensive watch..

Glad I picked this up last week

It could be a mistake? Maybe a Daytona was there before it, or maybe the BLNR should be where the Skydweller is making it £8950.

I would buy it in a heartbeat if i was in the market for a BLNR, as they are becoming extremely rare despite the rising demand.

Perhaps it had a celebrity owner or was customised for an organisation.

At those prices, I might have to fly across the pond for a weekend to open a pop up shop and sell the whole collection.

Yeh, try and sell TO them and you’ll be offered way under 50% of these prices.
