IWC Mk XVIII Tribute to Mk XI

I've just purchased this watch, pre-owned but only purchased by first owner in June 2022. I understand these were first sold in Harrods only, for £3500 and then on to general release. Its pretty much 10/10 condition with box and papers.
Ive paid roughly £800 on top of the original list price.
The watch has a significant sentimental value to me being a Mk XI so i'm glad ive bought it.
However i wasnt prepared for the £839 import duties etc. This now takes the watch to £1600 above original list price!!

I will love wearing this watch and it was always going to be my grail watch (the original 1948 version-i cannot afford)

The watch ive bought is limited to 1948 pieces.

Have i been a muppet?

Whether you're a Muppet or not can only be judged by you
However, you've got a great watch that you really wanted, so just enjoy the ride
