Incoming!!! Got the call, quick AF!

Hello all!

I posted a WTB, Datejust 126331 with Wimbelton dial here about a month ago. Have been in correspondence with a few trusted grey dealers. 100% no question legit dealer quoted me $18,750. 99.9% (would still be a no green light for me) quoted me $17,900.

I visited 4 local ADs in the past two weeks and added my name to the waitlist. Purchase history at one, a 36mm Datejust about 15 years ago.

About two weeks later, today, I got the call from Tourneau/Bucherer telling me my watch is there.

$16,022 with NY sales tax OTD! There is hope people. There is hope! The watch is stunning! I love it!

I have learned so much from you all over the years! Thank you, thank you!20240216_165007.jpg20240216_171133.jpg20240216_165229.jpg20240216_172539.jpg20240216_172942.jpg20240216_172439.jpg20240216_172453.jpg

Rather than going secondary, patience is sometimes the best policy when it comes to a TT DJ41.

Congrats!

Why would you say that? The Wimbledon, in any configuration, is not an easy watch to get. Also, IMO, it is so much more attractive, in TT. The gold, whether RG, or YG, makes the dial pop.

There is no way to know that. I think that is probably true of a lot of models, but NOT the Wimbledon. Tennis star Roger Federer preferred the bimetall. In this particular watch, the gold makes the unique dial pop. It is so much more attractive in the bimetal configuration, than in all SS. But, even if what you surmise is true, why do you feel it necessary to rain on someone’s parade, and even double down on your unfriendly comment, when rightly called out on it? It just makes no sense. Also, the Wimbledon is NOT easy to get. On the contrary, it is still trading much above list, on the secondary market. Obviously, you are not a fan, and that’s certainly your right. But, as the old adage goes, “if you don’t have anything nice to say, _ _ _ _!

Yeah OP congrats and ignore this reply. He is just crying because he has probably been on “the list” for 13 years without an allocation and jealous.
