he has got 1 preowned and 1 new now... import duty is going to make it impractical though.

I think I would fly to USA to pick it up. Always a good reason to fly to NYC

How likely do we think it is that the price drops down to around 22K like the SS 44mm (pre-loved of course)?

just call harrods in LHR T2 when you are ready as that would be even cheaper than DSW and it would be new and don't even need to fly very far

what currency is the 22k referring to? pounds? If dollars i would bet a couple years as any preowned ones now will be 99% brand new since they were just released so that is keeping prices up plus there are not a ton out there yet. If pounds that is the rough airport pricing for a new one today, 21k.

Ideally 22K USD I was already stretching my budget for the SS pre-owned, so the Ti even more painful

I've own the SS and have recently seen the Ti at the boutique.

I still prefer my SS as it's more versatile and I don't like the soft rubber grey strap.

I think the price for Ti will drop to a tad above SS in the future.

it will happen in time and as the ones currently in someone's rotation get some use. There are a ton of us with attachment issues with watches and will inevitably flip them. it would not surprise me in 12-18 months for one to be 22k USD used.

the black strap does bring out entirely different colors in the watch especially the bezel, different than the grey. I like it.

That is why i think the Ti is so versatile. I found the white dial on the SS to be a bit too white and jarring with the black subdials. The ti transitions much more smoothly.

I do get why people like it though, just not for me

Good man, I've just gone about ordering another Ti tang buckle to make the switch around easier, I know the tang isn't hard to change but though why not.

Best get the GP strap fitted before you then haha

i literally called 2 months ago and left a message and no one called back. Ash gave me their email contact yesterday so i emailed, nothing yet.

So I'm sure you will have it on by about the time i hear back from someone. Im still undecided which watch I'm putting it on, but probably RG, but it would work on either very well. There is no way I'm getting an extra RG tang though

Is it Daniels direct email?

Take it you are going with all black/grey opposed to the black/grey with red side details?

Oh yes given the cost of the Ti buckle I know the RG would most likely be the cost of an average watch

I might pop into the city to collect so I can tie in a proper look around the AP AD's I'll let you know when I'm down

correct the black/grey. The red is a bit too loud for me. Plus i think the one with the red looks better on the old dial RG 44 anyway.

Its Daniels email. Its been just over 24 hours so I'm not too worried at this point as I'm sure he will get back to me. The phone message not being returned for two months was weird though but i didn't have his email at that time so i feel better about it this go round.

I called left a message I think in customer services and no one called back. I called again maybe sales this time and spoke to someone and the order went thru, so I'd try again and go to all the options.

Daniel is the sales manager who I have spoke to but it's been Aurelija & Paul dealing with my orders and typically I've heard back with 48 hours.
