Congratulations, looking great!

Nice to know because I didn’t realize these are below retail now in the market…I thought this is one of those independents whose price goes up given their relatively limited production.

looks great, congrats!

I am surprised by this too. All the online listings I’ve seen have it at about equal to retail (using Cellini for retail price since I think the MB&F site includes VAT). Where are they below retail?

Either way, it’s a gorgeous watch!

i guess market isn't doing great and the retail price went up like crazy
they still don't manufacture these alot, especially in steel.
i heard 30-40 pieces a year?

How low did it go? Most watches were below retail at secondary and independents were even worse. Not until last 2-3 years that we have independents selling at retail in the secondary. So I guess things are back to normal.

it's 2023 and i paid about 15 below retail

retail is almost impossible in singapore unless you have a huge profile
like i say they don't deliver these much even we have the only MB&F Lab here
(i spoke to my SA briefly and she told me, we can try putting your name up but really depends on the management)

so i thought fk it, there's 1 for sale, let's do it

had to let go 2 of my APs for it
