222 competes with 5811 in the same way that competitive variants of M3 with gt3 rs... roughly similar HP but one is highly desirable and unobtainable and the other is made by VC, sorry BMW...

Mmm. In what sense did the 222 fall off a cliff? Looking at online listings it is much rarer and prices have held much better than a 15202 in a market that saw significant decline in the past 2,5 years.

The 222 is an incredible timepiece, one of my favourites. Super comfortable with well finished and supple bracelet, well finished movement and lots of heft with all the gold. It's thin and classy, but feels substantial, and has a great story and history. If you are a fan of the RO Jumbo or Nautilus its is very easy to fall in love with this timepiece as well.

I always loved the 1921 since it was first announced but I always felt it was too expensive. If I think of all the stuff I have bought since then, I should have just bought it when I tried it on, haha.

Yes. One is a mass-produced machine-finished hype piece. The other is a VC.

They look super cool in the flesh.

If you're into the full gold bracelet aesthetic, I'd strongly consider a PM Royal Oak as well. IMO they look even better.
