I will never understand that. If its new, its new. Coffin/plastic/etc, I just don't get how that adds value to some people.

I can understand a 10-15% premium just because you want an something right away but over that premium, is just unjustifiable.
Says the guy who was offered a blue 15500 at MSRP immediately!

I kid I kid.

Paying through the nose for a current production RO (formerly 15400 and now 15500) does not make sense to me. These are still attainable. Visit your local boutique and ask nicely. Maybe buy an ROC to get the ball rolling. Its not nearly as bad as dealing with patek and rolex. Yet.
The marking sold part is the thing that makes you go HMMMM

I stand by my comments. His K serial 15400 silver “sold” in late February, then 1 week later he has another K serial 15400 for sale at a higher price. He’s not alone. I’ve noticed 2 other greys do the same thing.
