If it was something you were on the fence about...yeah, I would think twice.

But, you did use the word "grail," so...go for it.

Don't buy it. Wait another 2 years in the hope you might save $300.

In case you can't tell, this was sarcasm.

This. Truth. Rethink everything if these are your actual thoughts.

Ha! I’ll give a hint: I’m more than 7 years old, when is when I recall ADs discounting watches.

I would go for it. I doubt we'll see any sports models below msrp for a while. Good luck.

Like others have said before, I doubt the green version would ever go below MSRP. Enjoy!

Much appreciated. I’m loving it. Now sized, fits like a glove.

Coming full circle to the question I originally posed on this thread — I think these and all there sports models will be available aplenty at ADs in 2023 for the taking. No wait no fuss no muss.

Interesting pulling up my thread from exactly 5 months ago. Prices have fallen a ton, everybody seems to be getting a call about some watch, ADs loosening up big time.

All of that said, it was totally the right call to grab this watch from the AD with gratitude, and I appreciate everyone’s guidance.

It doesn’t seem like prices are going to be falling below MSRP anytime soon, as I had erroneously thought possible five months ago, And I’m totally loving this watch, which, of course is the key thing rather than saving a few thousand bucks.

Forget about the $$. The watch is NOT an investment. If you have the disposable income and love the watch....buy it and wear it and leave your worries about $$ behind.

As noted, already bought 5 months ago. My Worries left behind as well as some disposable income on a great investment!
