Got a call from AD......

GMT II C one in stock. I have two hours to poop or get off the pot. $6825 best price.

It was on my hit list. I had the Pepsi and Coke and returned them because they weren't me.

Help!?!?!?!?

It's a killer watch and in high demand what is your reservation about buying it? Price? It will only go up. Style? You can resell it if you don't like it. Choice, don't settle, if it's not what you want then make the next person on the list happy

You can always flip the GMTIIc if you decide it's not for you. FWIW, I would buy it.

True try it on see if you LOVE it. I personally don't like the shine on a ceramic bezel JMO.
If you Love it buy it!! if you don't give it to the next guy that will. Anotherwise you won't get what you paid plus tax on the grey market unless you wait for a price increase next year and it's still NIB.

see above link they sell NIB free shipping for less and not selling.

I would only buy it if you love it. The price is good if you want it, but you won't make money on it flipping. I have a strong feeling that after basel this year, the GMT IIc will go down in popularity due to the new models. There will soon be many GMT IIc's out there...

Just my 2 pennies.

I agree I need to feel it see it first. I can't imagine flipping it would make any coin. But in Oregon we have no tax so at least I don't have to stress on that.

When is Basel/Bazel? What are the "new" models rumored to be?

Basel is the 15th of April and forget about it. Who cares what other models are coming. The new GMTIIc's are not going to be any less hot or popular. The rumor is a new SeaDweller, not a Sub is coming this season. Supposedly the sub isn't getting the makeover till next year. I think the best advice is to go, try it on your wrist and see if it "moves you". If so, buy it. If not, pass.

Good luck and let us know.

Certainly go and try it on.... It needs to smile at you! If not, keep looking.

I would poop only if you think you'll enjoy the result. Otherwise, stay on the pot!

Just a thought, my AD offers a 30 day return policy on new, unworn Rolexes. I have twice now bought one I wasn't sure of to make sure no one else got it so I could sleep on it and then decide. I would definatly go that route if they allow it.

Do it. Sucks you missed it before the price increase...

but,

She is holding it until I get off of work! They have a 90 day return policy with no restock fees. SO should at least take it home, stare, behold etc. then decide. I am excited to actually see it in person as I haven't ever seen it before!

I will keep yall posted!

Get it. Bought mine almost a month ago now and still can't stop looking down at it. LOVE the watch- it just sang to me when I first put it on the wrist.

Nah! I got 12,53 % discount for it back then (= 37,000 DKR) and sold it for DKR. 37,000.

MSRP is 42,300 DKR.
