Thoughts? LE for Harrods

What are your thoughts on the link? 1 of 25, believe it's only for Harrods but someone may correct me on that.

Ok it is very cool I must say, guessing around 250k, as long as the back doesn't say "harrod's LE" I could get one if I had the funds, which I don't. Roger how about you?

pretty sure that is the one Roger was/is considering although its hard to keep track of all those incomings.

I think its not a Harrods edition, just that Harrods is the only AD in the UK with one. That watch is on the cover of my Harrods watch magazine and it says "exclusive to Harrods...in the UK" in the description. So other boutiques/AD's in other countries probably have one as well.


i think all three are the same watch

It's not a harrod's LE. The chrono came in titanium sandblasted and RG. Albeit for 250k I'm going concept.

I feel it's a common theme on this forum now if no one else can afford the watch, we just ask Roger to get it so we can see real life pictures lol.

I would rather have a Ferrari but I guess those in the market for this don't have to decide between the 2.

Still if I was a billionaire I would probably go with the Laptimer

Not a Harrods; was offered it at the NY boutique, but I'm not a yellow gold fan.

Except that ferrari is going to lose like 50k in the first year while this will not.

with your discount connections i could probably swing it

At 40% off is only 150k, then I would take it back to the US for storage so i could get the VAT back at the airport... for a total of 120k. Amazing deal

Who knows? Maybe . I've never bothered to ask for these ones. I don't even think my AD is big enough to get these, but I could be wrong. Never asked since I can't afford .

It probably would to be fair

Most $300k watches don't sell for 300k used unless you get lucky with certain Pateks etc..

The chance of picking a future classic with a watch is probably similar to with a car anyway, don't buy either for value retention its not worth it

Idk. The concepts seem to hold value pretty well if you ask me.

It dsays $350 000 on that link...but net of VAT closer to $300k

Of course if you use your Black Harrods card you get 1 million points equivalent to GBP 10 500...now its a bargain!!
