Others have already said this... but I really enjoy mine. Larger wrist, feels great.

I love the size. However, whenever I've tried the deep blue on with a suit it hasn't worked for me (would be a great weekend watch), and for this reason I haven't pulled the trigger.

...but if offered it by an AD at MSRP or a bit less, I'm not sure that I'd be able to resist !

If you have large enough wrists to pull it off I say yes. The DSSD D-Blue and the 2017 Seadweller are next on my list since I have very large wrists.

If you have small wrists, don't do it. It'll just look awkward.

Are HK dealers charging a premium for it?

Zero stock with ADs and last I checked grey dealers charge a ~USD300+ premium. For a 13k Watch, that’s a rounding error and not enough to justify holding off on buying a watch you want (IMHO)...it’s more that the thrill of actually finding it at an AD that would be overwhelming

Not so bad. I could live with a premium of USD300; I paid slightly less than that for my 116520. It's the 50% premium on the Daytona C that does my head in.

If it sings to you, get it. Alternatively, get it anyway if you have the funds and if you end up not bonding with it, you know you can flip it for a premium. I had a chance to buy one from an AD earlier this year and turned down the opportunity. I have desired one ever since.
