Who is going to be first for new price.

So who has had the call to collect or waiting for a call from their AD and will be paying the new increased price for their new piece.

Let’s see who’s first on TRF.

I know, it'll be tough. First people criticized those who paid more than retail, now we will be criticized for paying the new higher retail. So many rules to follow to be one of the cool kids.

Still, someone needs to be first to do it.

Yup. Or the criticizers could buy a watch to wear it, buy a watch they can afford to keep like Hans intended, and forget the market quotes. Life would be simpler. But to each their own.

AD just call...my white Daytona just came in but I would have to pay the new price...I said no, not a penny above the 2019 MSRP.

I showed them...I went to a grey and paid 10K over MSRP just out of principle.

I got a call from my AD the they are expecting a new shipment of ND Submariners and that I am first in line for when they come in. Ive been on the list for one for months now. Buying one brand new is a big deal for me so I will gladly pay the increase

I think everybody will be complaining about the new MSRP in the following months saying they won't pay it. That is until an AD calls them and tells them they can pick up their Daytona, blue SkyD, Pepsi or Hulk. Then those people who received the call will immediately be happy with paying new MSRP and will not bat an eye.

I don’t expect any complaints. It is what it is, the new MSRP.

I spoke with my SA the other day and she confirmed the price increases. I asked if others who are waiting for their allocations had any complaints and she said due to the nominal nature, no complaints.
