Agreed. I bought a 2012 Mercedes GLK for 10k off new sticker, with 12k miles on it. To my mind it's new. With respect to this watch, forego the pleasure of peeling off the stickers and being the first one to wear it on your wrist for a few weeks, and save thousands. Since after those few weeks it's used anyway, whether or not you bought it new, what's the difference?

I guess it's like religion - not going to change anyone's mind, and to each their own.

At that price it won't be a problem IMHO.

Also even though only a few weeks old and traded in still used with stickers off and not brand new.
Even for 50% off I wouldn't be able to afford it! But it is a beautiful watch for sure...
