Pass.
I love the Kermit but the Flat 4 is not rare and paying double for a minor font variant is silly. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

It’s a watch you need to be very careful with. But you probably already know that. Gorgeous though.

It’s practically NOS. Almost Flawless. I enjoy looking at it and handling and wearing it would just freak me out. I have more expensive watches that I wear constantly but for some reason I can’t wear this thing as lame as it sounds. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Pass. A detail that is hyped for no reason and uncharged for no reason.

Dang, that’s a lot of cheese.
I had no idea these “flat 4s” were fetching so much. For that kind of money I’d rather have a full pm Sub. Or a used Porsche Boxster lol. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I don’t think they are. Prices have come down substantially on the Flat 4s. They pop up under 20k with some regularity. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

As others have noted that is at least 10K over market. The thing about the flat 4 bezel is that Rolex doesn't recognize it as a "thing". So if you ever trash the bezel and want to replace it, the odds are good you won't get a flat 4 back.

Is it a CPO watch? Meaning does it come with a Rolex warranty? In that case it worth a bit more, but that price seems higher than I would like to pay. But there will always be that hype to a collector. But if you were ever in a position that you wanted to sell it out of necessity or just because……. You would have to wait for a collector to buy it from you to get your ROI. If not you would take a loss.
If your not looking at the watch as an investment and will wear it cause you love it, then if you want it and don’t have to go into debt for it, then by all means….. get it!!!! I have one (pointy 4) and love mine. I thought I paid a lot for mine, so it’s all relative… I paid $7k in 2011 with stickers still on. Took them off and wore the snot out of it. Now it hardly gets time on the wrist as I have gravitated towards my Polar Exp I recently picked up at Fourtane in Carmel in March. As the Polar Dial is easily read compared to any black face or JC dial that I have as my eyes are aging!!! lol |

Just think what you can get for 28k. You could get a new Daytona on OF. You could get the new LV and SS GMT and money left over for an OP or something. That price is insane.

Sounds like an opportunity - but not for the buyer...

What’s crazy is a non flat four at a fraction of the cost, can get scratched, sent to RSC for replacement and come back with a flat 4.
Has happened.

Hyped Rolex watches is what it's all about isn't it? There are many examples of over-hyped watches from Rolex. Those little differences are what many collectors look for and collect.

I’d have thought that RSC would not have serviced it if it wasn’t a real LV

Why ask? If you like it, negotiate down the price and buy it.

I love my recently purchased pointy 4 LV, I think it could be my favourite watch ever. I would only pay the premium for the flat 4 if I was an avid collector who was really careful with their watches - alas, I am not!

I don’t think Springer is claiming the Nashville Watch offering is “not an LV” but rather it is not in that true top 1% of desirable examples that a certain type of collector wants. So it’s not a fair comparison to the described $28K version.

Love mine
28k for a mass produced SS Sub? That’s a crazy valuation based mostly on its condition.
Wear it once, worth 10k less. Watches are made to be worn…… Last edited by casadecamporolex; 23 June 2024 at 10:11 PM.. Reason: 2004 Flat 4 picture |

To everyone out there--wear your watches! No way would I buy that LV for that insane price.
