A few fixed priced eBay listings at under 20k asking price, first time I’ve seen that in ages. 3-4 months ago watch club would list a white dial at 23’ish and it would be gone the following day, they’ve had one now for over a week. Mark worthington has had a 2018 fully stickered UK watch listed for over 2 months now for £24,995. I believe that would have been sold quite quickly as little as 3 months ago.

Btw, I’m watching because I’d like one and am willing to pay over list but not as far over has they have climbed in the last 12 months.

Check for year and condition! Prices seem same/or slightly higher since 3 months ago.

Really??? Grey dealers over here are asking 23-24K euro. Just crazy. I mean why not ask, but IMHO only a fool pays that. 116520 seems a bit soft though.

I’ve been watching 116500 in particular in the UK for quite a while as I’d love one but no chance of getting one from AD, they more or less told me so.
Out of interest back in June I got a quote from watchfinder as if I owned one and was wanting to sell it. They were offering 20-21,000 pounds, I haven’t repeated the exercise lately but clearly they can’t be offering that now if people are trying to sell them on eBay for under 20.

This is great news, I have also noticed this trend. Let's hope it continues.

Well there is 650 of them in chrono 24 and every gray dealer has several so it’s a matter of time. Same happened with the 116520. After several years demand evened out. By 2014 I was able to pick mine up at MSRP.

But drink that in folks, 650 not counting the gray market and AD. It’s pathetic that anyone would think there is some shortage here lol. All manufactured hype and artificial supply tightening.
