This went for 56.5k recently at auction about a month ago. So these are under RRP now.

I wanna pluck up the courage to tell my SA “look I really want to buy from you guys at a premium, but if you keep me hanging I’ll just go buy grey at a discount…”

Love it but wonder how readability is. The old one with the sapphire disks and white track seems easier to read quickly.

Feel free.

If the issue is the "hanging," (meaning the wait), there's just nothing the SA can do about it. They are not going to jump you in the line and just offer you the very first of anything that comes in, despite others having waited as well, just because of your "threat" not to buy at all. I can pretty much guarantee that for whatever watch you're waiting for, someone has been waiting longer.

Agree with you, that's why I haven't plucked up the courage yet.

I did approach my taupe 43mm ROO in a similar fashion before, albeit not as directly/in-your-face as I've quoted above. I'm totally understanding of the SA's tough job, so I don't "threaten" them or anything. I waited 15 months for my taupe, got 1-2 RO allocations along the way, all while ROO prices were softening in 2022. So I kinda asked my SA "Hey what's going on? I'm confused. Should I just grab a taupe from grey?". She chuckled and my taupe came a month later.

But coming back to the starwheel, it just seems extremely difficult to get from the boutique. Regardless of where it's trading at in the market.

They are trying to sell on their website for $79K

Not sure these guys are legit. Their website doesn't even have an address or location on it...and they have pictures that are stock mountain photos from Europe. Definitely not the Rocky Mtns.

The star wheel movement has been around since 25720, it never really caught on till the code star wheel. Now AP Secondary prices are finally making sense. We should see more and more better prices.
