Would you wait until December for a GMT 126710blnr

Hi,

Have the opportunity to pay now $14000 for the new 126710blnr (Batman on jubilee) but have to wait until December delivery.

Thoughts on wait and on price are needed.

Thanks in advance

Personally - no - I’d change my mind 12 times between now and then.

You're willing to wait until December to pay $14K for a watch that costs $9250? What am I missing here? Grey dealer with a wait list?

Sounds like a scam. I’d hardly trust an AD with a deposit in fear of them going bankrupt and keeping money , much less paying above retail! Much less to a grey. Why promise you a watch in a year at 14k when itll likely still be at 18k in a year!?

No I would move on and buy a watch if I needed one.

If you want that one then you have to wait or pay up.

I agree with all the other level heads, this deal is to be avoided.

guaranteed by Dec? I'd wait. If you're not certain about it, I would hesitate to scoop up a watch with no real delivery date.

Edit: just reread the original post and realized I mis read it. No, paying the premium is already a tough call, but I’m not paying a premium to wait.

No. Why are you considering this? The wait till December element makes zero sense.

Well those are going for over $21k now... ADs are holding off for new buyers .

But now that I think about it I also change of opinion very often .

Thanks for the advise

So you are paying someone $14k and give that person 6 months to leave town with your money.

I wouldn’t pay a premium for this watch, since I’m not that interested in it (though I know plenty are/would, so no disrespect).

I also wouldn’t wait that long for it at any price, simply based on my interest level in it. I’m also not the most patient human, so there’s that, plus, I’d likely find something else I wanted in the meantime.

I vote no.
