The number of people

getting the DSSD is growing and growing and growing... I pity those who paid $15,000.00 + a few weeks ago for this watch. It pays to have patience and it cost for not having.

How can you pity someone who pays fifteen grand for a watch, Hamilton? Seems to me that he's doing very well for himself, thank you very much... unless he's silly enough to mortgage the house to buy it!

For some people, those few weeks of owning the watch while it's still "rare" are worth the extra $.

As for the resellers, sucks for them.

If the limited numbers released are accurate (25 in the Southeast US), then those people have ample time to sell theirs for what they paid, or more.

I am sure the flipping has just begun and the $15k may last for a few more weeks.

Either way, I do not condone flipping watches - seems like a low-class way to make a buck to me.

joe,
you didnt really get one of those did you??
I have three friends who just picked one up within the last two weeks.
I have a feeling there will be more than demand before you know it.

I would recommend each US TRFer here to wait as the DSSD's have started appearing at US AD's and in my guess in less than two months the hype would be much lessEven one of the AD's near my area called me and said they can get me one tomorrow by 1'oclock but the price would be $11,500

Even after seeing or better I shall say, expecting the flooding of DSSD I'm thinking rather to buy a SS Daytona instead of DSSD as SS Daytona is one Rolex watch which will always remain the most sought after Rolex

Agree 100% The DSSD will be just like the Milgauss, soon discounted and no takers.
