Good price on Milgauss Z-blue 116400GV ?

Based on my current 5 min research, it looks like TRF sellers are selling a NIB for $6800-$7000ish.

An AD is offering the watch to me at $6682 which i think is a great deal!! just need someone to validate that i am not paying too much for this watch?

Thank you !

not bad from AD. Frankly speaking the prices of so called trusted sellers here are just better than US AD, but most of the time you will get a lot better price if you can go to europe or Japan.

Yes - I agree with you, The TRF seller prices are not the best but most US based buyers have been conditioned to assume that you can't get the same price from an AD.

The flip side is that based on my recent thread, AD's are willing to markup prices for popular in-demand models.

If TRF sellers are selling for $6800-$7K and I assume they are buying for a similar price, is their profit approx $100-$300 for this watch ? I don't think it would be worth it to them to make this much net profit on this watch - which leads me to believe that they are getting the watch for cheaper?

Sounds like a good deal.

Do some research and see what you could sell it for pre-owned and if you come out even or ahead, that's a great deal.

Heck, brand new from an AD...that's solid.

I think your only alternative would be to find a really nice pre-owned one here in the 6k range.
