About 10k over msrp

It could be yours if any of you want to pull the trigger.

I’d like to see one up close because pictures aren’t doing it for me on this one.

Same, but I'm sure it's a stunner in person, just not 10k over though IMO.

No amount of in-person viewing is going to fix those hands.

I'm amazed more people don't see it. It was the first thing I noticed when RPR leaked the photos the day before Baselworld. The hands were so screwy, I assumed the pic was a fake.

Me too!

Isn't Rolex supposedly changing things and attacking the Grey Market now?

Doesn't look like it

Edit: Actually, maybe as soon as that one sells they will bust the AD it came from??

That’s a new, limited, straight to grey model.

I like this watch. Need to see it in person. Have to see if I like that it doesn’t have endlinks.

Nice watch but one can get a lot of other (more interesting) things for that sort of coin

Sadly, I guarantee it will sell within 48 hours just because it's one of the first ones out there.

I don't understand this watch sizing. 40mm would have been better but I guess just to seperate it from the Submariner. Would not pay that for it, that's for sure.

Bet that watch is $5k lower in another month and will continue to trend down.

This market trend is getting ridiculous. I’m happy I’m not looking for one of these sought after models…

I'm not sure about this one either. On one hand it seems like it would be a great daily and very versatile...but I could also see it becoming quite boring after a while.

Either way, that price is insane, and hopefully no one is foolish enough to bite.
