At a grey dealer. Crazy thing is, I will maybe go back in a week or two and they will be sold for sure.

Mikehii · 23 September 2015, 11:20 PM

They looked so fine

Old Expat Beast · 23 September 2015, 11:21 PM

Wow...even with the weak yen those are some insane prices.

This is not good for me, as I want to add a 16610LV to my collection in the future. I'm not ready to buy right now, but neither do I want to stand on the sidelines and watch the price go up for this watch.

Well that is nothing.
In the Netherlands they sell M serial (3186) with Rectangular or Stick dial in Mint condition for 18.000 EUR. While the NOS goes for 20-23K EUROS.

EE33 · 6 April 2016, 06:58 PM

Amazing prices. Just wonder how much (percentage wise) discount would dealers in Japan give, assuming if any at all.
I'm referring to pieces like those posted.

No discount.

WWC · 23 September 2015, 11:27 PM

Funny thing is there's always gonna be someone who's gonna fork that much for them

DCgator · 24 September 2015, 01:44 PM

Yup, I agree those prices are insane!

Gaijin · 23 September 2015, 11:28 PM

A few years from now we might be thinking that this was cheap...

Mezz72 · 24 September 2015, 12:57 AM

the Pepsi is a bnib if I understand some of the Chinese words used to describe that piece.

Rolextraderflorida · 24 September 2015, 01:12 AM

beautiful watches, but wow.

datejust24 · 24 September 2015, 01:19 AM

So I guess my main question is why in sam hell would anyone pay that kind of price for a used LV? These prices just don't make sense in the slightest...well said Peter...absolutely foolish.

BuddaLun · 24 September 2015, 01:21 AM

This is quite often the case with the Japanese market. Look at the markup on American made goods such as Alden shoes or Redwing shoes in Japan, pretty shocking.

Let's just put it this way. I always buy a pair when I am back home. 2 to 3 to 4 times more here depending on the model.

You can go the other way with denim.

Any higher for the Pepsi and you might as well go WG

Exactly!

DOUBLE 0 SE7EN · 24 September 2015, 01:57 AM

I am really surprised because I usualy buy my watches from Quark Osaka.. And they always have reasonable prices.. For example I bought my hulk for 7600 usd.. And also took some tax back.. So this is really surprising..It looks like those price tags are for another gold or vintage watches and they mixed them up..
