Take your time... I'm pretty sure a full set could have been had for
$60-62k at the miami beach antique show. Either way, good luck.

I hope that is correct, have mine at $69.5 now and really wanted to be closer to 60k so anyone with pricing info this is also a good place to share

Tom ,if you take my advice ,wait!
Chrono24 full of this reference ,i assume ppl bought to flip it with a nice markup but customers still wait to pull the trigger.MSRP is €61k and you can get for 45-47k these days,I m sure it will hit the €42k mark soon .

It's a looker for sure.
Congrats in advance, Tom. I would expect it to wear slightly bigger, or at least feel bigger due to the massive weight.

Tried one on the other day. Stunning piece. If I had to own just one this would be it.

Astor live has one in a no reserve auction. I've bought a handful of pieces
from them over the years, and find them to be pretty stand up. This will be
a good indicator of market driven price. Currently holding at $52k.

This watch has grown on me in recent weeks
I KNOW I KNOW I BASHED IT when it first came out
But in my defence the pictures sucked at basel

It seems to look a ton better in person
Ive come close 3x

But instead bought a blue sub yesterday

Jess wont allow me to drop that kind of coin on a rolex

Oh well!!!

Just got mine today. Outstanding piece. I think my Daytona collection is complete with the following.

Platinum
WG panda bracelet
WG strap
RG strap ceramic
RG black face bracelet
SS white face

Anything I'm missing?
