Out of interest, how much was this? It's now showing as SOLD so the price doesn't show any longer. Many thanks.

They always look a bit higher than I’d expect but if they are selling them, then that’s what people think they’re worth.
I see a used milgauss (blue LV) priced at above list. Is there a waiting list on milgauss’s now also?

Ah they've found another one! I guess the pepsi is a flippers dream at the moment. I was offered 13.5k trade for my Daytona (black face) with no paperwork (warranty card), just proof of purchase.
I can't see the prices on these dropping just yet, maybe in 12-24 months, the AD was saying they are getting through the lists rather quickly when they do call people once they tell them they will keep the paperwork for 12 months.
Honestly, I will wear and keep mine for 12 months and see what happens, but as I said elsewhere I really don't like the PCL and the watch looks like its 5 years old already (and I don't wear it everyday) plus i fancy a CLS55 and the Daytona would fund that nicely.

£10,450 over list makes no sense on any level.
If you've got the money you're in Patek territory,

Wtf?
I've just been looking at Kermits for sale over at SD Watches, one of them a NOS fat four asking $44k (over £34k)! 
Others they have (pointy fours) are mid teens to mid twenties $. I'm hardly wearing mine any more because of all this. It's a double edged sword because I bought mine, new in 2007, to use because I love it, still do. A mate of mine years ago sold his to another mate for £3k in unmarked condition, unbeknown to me as I wanted another to keep good at the time. With people being targeted now for wearing good watches, one has to think about where not to go with it on.
I think there are bubbles now in many markets, be it housing, classic cars, stocks, vintage watches etc. A ten year bull run we've seen since the banks blew up, but now with brexit, trade wars, Trump bashing, monetary collapse in various countries and impending Trotskyite takeover here in old Blighty, the outlook is interesting to say the least.

If I'm going to keep my Daytona I think I'm going to put it on a rubber oysterfelx copy with an after market deployment.
Brilliant idea, might do the same for a change. Any idea where to pick one up?Gassing Station | Watches | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
