The 5 digit one? I don't get how the prices are still so high (or went up?), they are near the prices of a current gold sub.

Just because someone lists a 5 digit YG Sub for 20K does not mean they will fetch that price.

Yeah and that is the problem. Where can you wear the watch without drawing way too much attention.

To the 99% of people who don't notice any watch on any human at all, look at the size of them they are tiny, and just like if a girl was wearing a thick gold bracelet I wouldn't notice it. Now cars are in your face and hard to miss, but watches are only to a very few.

Yes you can wear it anywhere. Nobody notices nor cares. Everyone's phone is the center of their attention, not somebody's gold toned watch.

I hope so. I check HQMilton a lot and chrono24 and I see those prices at 18-20k USD.

What is a decent price for one, at 14-15k USD?

All I know is you can fetch a new 6 digit one for 25-26K. Pricing a used, say 15-20 year old one at 20K is a hard sell. I'll take the brand new one with all the upgrades any day of the year.

Amen. Well said...and at the end of the day. Who cares what people think.
