In my quest to find a watch I have been looking at SDs but got offered a Milgauss Black Face (Anniversary!!) model, brand new in box only 2 weeks old. What is it worth realistically as a buy, I know they are 4k plus new, I might just be tempted to buy it if I know it has a resale value or a potential buyer!

Regards in advance, oh and its in UK so pounds please!

I assume that you are talking about the 116400 GV model (green sapphire crystal) - if so then the list price in the uk is £3380. These are regularly being advertised by grey dealers with a hefty premium (approx £6-£7k) so there is a chance that you could make a profit. If what you have been offered is a standard Milgauss with a black dial then I wouldn't pay above list (£3180) - although these are being advertised by grey dealers at around £3.9k they are starting to become available through ADs (my own local AD has one on display in the window) and you would do well to get your money back if you decided to sell this straight away.

Then don't pay over retail. It is common to see them in US and will be so in UK soon

hold on a minute- in the last two months the resale value from grey dealers etc has come down to around £5000-£5500, so bear that in mind
