I personally wouldn’t, because it’s not my taste. If it was… I would want it to be in much better condition and complete set… Box, papers and links

Xtralarg · 22 February 2022, 06:58 AM

Not a chance

1665fan · 22 February 2022, 07:01 AM

Heck no…..you can’t get a 16520 and a 116710 both for that kind of money

Time Out · 22 February 2022, 07:01 AM

Nope.

EEpro · 22 February 2022, 07:03 AM

Nah

vh2k · 22 February 2022, 07:05 AM

I feel like TRF should just start auto-generating replies from Padi for every new thread.

kieselguhr · 22 February 2022, 07:06 AM

I personally wouldn’t but only because that’s not the configuration I like.

OrangeSport · 22 February 2022, 07:23 AM

No

Abre · 22 February 2022, 07:26 AM

What about the price guys?

For me that’s very difficult to move on again with no papers. And it’s a lot of money, I don’t mind no papers on a cheaper watch but yeah a pass for me here.

waterking · 22 February 2022, 07:32 AM

$50k is pretty strong for a nb-np deal. With the DD's at an all time high I would think that buying this watch at $45k would be a stretch.

HogwldFLTR · 22 February 2022, 07:33 AM

With the newest movement I believe 36mm sells for $49750 msrp. The 40mm is a 228349 and sells for $55450. This one is a Day Date II which doesn't have the newer proportions either. It's really your call but I'd approach and AD and try to get a new one before buying one which is missing links, papers, and box.

rambo99 · 22 February 2022, 07:33 AM

never. i only buy watches from my AD.

JacksonRain · 22 February 2022, 07:35 AM

Neeveeeeeeeeeeer

Benzsiam · 22 February 2022, 07:55 AM

It would be better getting the new model 228349RBR from the boutique/AD. This model looks better with baguette hour markers.

The price of the new model with baguette hour markers is $59900 a bit higher but you get everything brand new with full set.

TheVTCGuy · 22 February 2022, 08:00 AM

No, not for me. But hey, if you like it, then congratulations!

beshannon · 22 February 2022, 08:00 AM

No

BNA/LION · 22 February 2022, 08:03 AM

I'd pass and get a new 40mm...

I agree this would be the best approach if you are interested in that style.

173rdabn · 22 February 2022, 08:33 AM

Nope, not a fan. Too damn much, no box or papers, missing links and so-so condition.

Cigars&Watches · 22 February 2022, 08:34 AM

No

This thread is the counterweight to those demanding to know "who is paying $50k for a 'Panda' Daytona..."

Chewbacca · 22 February 2022, 08:42 AM

I have to say yes as it’s not my money.

noshake · 22 February 2022, 08:54 AM

Pass, get it new from an AD. Baguettes on Platinum or fluted bezel on gold IMO.

I think I’d rather have either ceramic over that watch tbh….

GregoryZ · 22 February 2022, 09:09 AM

Condition not great. You can find much better with box, papers, etc.

Agree 100%.

rolex75216 · 22 February 2022, 10:50 AM

I actually wouldn't buy it for $30K.

Danny83 · 22 February 2022, 10:51 AM

Not without papers could be stolen
