Need advice on 6007g purchase
Hi everyone,
I need your collective advice on whether or not to purchase the 6007G. I expressed interest to my AD on both the 5212A and 6007G and it seems that they’re leaning toward allocating me the latter. Despite the controversy over the dial not being done by hand, I still like the look of the watch, especially the red version. My problem is that I know that the same watch is being sold on Chrono24 for $5000 less than the MSRP. It just doesn’t seem like a very good value so I am hesitant to make the purchase. Could you please give me your opinion on the watch, whether to buy it new from the AD, and any other related information you might have? Thanks in advance, Casey |

Not sure if I'd call it "allocating" a watch when it's readily available from many ADs. Love mine. I mean for a 5k premium id rather get from an AD but honestly seen used ones for a lot bigger discount than that

Thanks, I really appreciate the information. I didn’t realize that this reference was so readily available. I guess that explains the price difference between MSRP and the secondary market.

The one advantage of buying from the AD is that it can give you better access to other PP models. Immediately after buying my 6007G, the AD regularly texts me their incoming PP allocation to see if I'm interested in purchasing any of them.

Don't worry about the dial being what it is. For the Aquanaut, people have complained for years about how the bezel is part of the watch case, whereas on the Nautilus it is not. |

Need advice on 6007g purchase
If you think your dealer is a good one and you want to support them and buy hard to get watches down the road then I think you can justify the watch from them, otherwise I’d probably just buy it at the best price possible and put the savings toward your next watch or whatever else.
I have the yellow one and absolutely love it, one of my favorite watches, get a ton of wrist time. I think it’s a very cool watch. Haven’t seen the red but I bet it’s awesome. I hope you go for it either way. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

[QUOTE=321Forever;13417697]Absolutely correct. -Just make sure your AD is going to be around for the next few years. It's also special when you fill out the certificate of origin with your own name.
Great point - I would like to be the one who fills that out…sure it’s a small thing but I’d enjoy it :-) |
