ok. now if you had to choose between the T3 and the grand prix carbon? I can get the same deal for the same money..... the T3 just never caught my attention until today when I tried it on and it was quite impressive even though is quite big.

Personally, I'd get the GP. I've also heard some find the guards on the T3 uncomfortable.

+1. But at 35k that's a great price.

Agreed but it's a tough piece to move.

Here's on for sale in Melbourne, Australia where I live ... http://www.watchtrader.com.au/store/...k-offshore-t3/

AUD$36.5k including GST taxes. If sent overseas, it will likely be without taxes, making it approx AUD$32.8k, or around US$33k .... you can make inquires about that one, or use it as a price point to bargain with the seller who has it for US$35k ...

It is a great price, But I'd take the GP over it any day.
As Mike said the pusher guards aren't that comfy and way to big for me.

the one I've been offered has the black dial which I don't know if it would make a difference in price. your link of the watch for sale down under only corroborates the fact that is a piece hard to move. btw someone from singapore pm'd me and sent me a link of one they have for sale over there pre-owned with a non original box and their price is FIRM at US 47K. I guess the business is buying watches in the US and selling them in singapore LOL

Personally speaking, I love the T3 to bits, and if I had the scratch I'd own one, pusher guards be damned (never mind that I love them to bits as well). The GP is certainly an impressive piece in its own right, but frankly that watch is way too busy for my tastes. Sure, it may be easier to unload, but then I don't buy watches with a view toward selling them; I buy them with a view towards wearing them.

So yeah, if it were my dime, I'd go for the T3.

Regards,
Adam
