SBGW231 Price?

In the last few days have seen a relatively large increase in SBGW231 prices on Chrono24 (almost $1,000 increase). Anyone know what’s going on here?

Not anymore. It sold. I can't wait for it to arrive!

I noticed DavidSW had a used one well above MSRP recently.

Congratulations, a great choice. On arrival, check out the the edge of the crystal for tiny bubbles. There were discussions of imperfection about this box crystal.

There is another listing of this watch at the "For sale" Sub Forum . This time a 2/2019 SBGW 231 with all papers for $3,300 from Marzano1, a relatively new member.

Thanks! Pictures to follow tomorrow. I saw that thread and sort of wish I didn't see it....I probably wouldn't have noticed. LOL. Oh well, I'll definitely look for them. If this watch is half as good as the youtube videos look I'm going to be awfully impressed.

It's a great watch. Handled it in my AD last Dec., and was very impressed. All the classic design details are perfect ... domed crystal, domed dial, cream color of the dial, slight bend of the hand tips, manual wind etc. etc. Very high on my wishlist!

Owner here, no idea what's going on with prices, but it's one terrific watch. So much to like from the case shape and size, to the bent hands, to the way it responds to light. A lot of watch for the $.
