Why? As a matter of interest.

Love mine to bits and can't understand flipping something immediately before you get to know it.

If you paid the new retail flipping it will not give you much of a return IMO.

I got mine a year ago, pre-owned, but with all the seals still in place for under £6k. It's my favourite watch now to the point where the others don't get much of a look in. I'm not sure I'd have paid over list for one, but I was happy to pay just shy of list, even though it was technically secondhand.

I see your point but there are still plenty off people out there that will pay over list?

Picking one up in the next few weeks and debating flipping it too. However at the new retail price it is less tempting. I already have a black bezel GMT so definitely no point in keeping both. If offered crazy money on the blue black it'll go, if not reckon I might sell my other one and keep the blue black. Decisions. Oh and bloody price increase mad

Bloody hell, 8k is a strong offer

I bought mine just before price increase, over list at £7150 (Sept 2016 model so pretty much new)

Price seems fair now on reflection - but overall i'm not bothered as it's my favourite watch atm and worn daily smile
