We are just short of the 10X mark… I know, probably no one will pay that much…. Probably?

I guess the previous "gen" $54K 116509s (and 19s) with meteorite are a steal!

What is that eBay? I saw an OP41 on Chrono24 for $500k.

Until we see trusted sellers asking similar prices it doesn’t mean anything.

Funny you mention that. I came to loathe the black eye look on the glare white dial.

That's why I love the newer steel dial (and meteorite). Trying to get that steel one at retail. Bracelet or OF. Don't care.

I just don’t understand whose idea it is to have a meteorite dial and cover up 40% of the dial with black paint or whatever it is……I’m glad I have my original and prefer it to the new one by a long shot…..

The key part to that advert is where it says "Or Best Offer"

If I had won that $500,000,000 lottery last week, still would have bothered me to pay that lol...

Exactly. I’d definitely try that approach first

If I were interested and had unlimited access to cash

I assume it’s Tiffany blue. If so, it makes sense.

If I was a billionaire I still wouldn’t pay more than retail for any watch or any product for that matter. Humanity seems to have lost its principles this last couple of years.

I don't know what to say. Shocking doesn't even start to cover it. Eeerm..., I personally find it very worrying for the hobby.

Doesn’t mean they’re getting it. I have been tracking certain watches out there for a couple years. One guy was looking for $55k+ for a 116509 silver racing dial 2 years ago. I called and made a reasonable offer but was rejected. Now it still hasn’t sold and IIRC he’s now looking for $90k.

Your Damn right Gary. Money is money but I was taught that if you worried about the pennies, nickels, and dimes the dollars would take care of themselves. My dollar is worth the same as yours even if I only have one and you have a million

If it is worth it to someone, more power to them. That said, I don't think I could spend that kind of money on a watch regardless of what my financial situation looked like or regardless of how nice the watch was.

That's a ploy to generate clicks and make a few contacts where they say the price was a typo, and start pitching
