Since the topic of women's pieces were brought up, would the 7118 be a good piece to purchase for the lady? She likes it from pics, but if somehow we got it and she doesn't bond with it, is it an easy one to part with without a loss?

My wife got one and she loves it. When we got it last year, it was not especially hard to get. But now I see that on c24, it is actually at $10k above SRP so it looks like the SS Nautilus craze may have spread to the ladies model.

I have even seen the 1990s quartz women models going up, EUR 9900 here.

9900 for a SS/YG quartz watch.

She has the white dial. Originally we were looking for the blue dial but is actually pleasantly surprised by the silvery opaline dial.

Ladies Aquanauts and Nautilus do well in Asia even preowned. They easily go over retail so break even or a not so harsh depreciation can be reasonably expected. I see the market picking up even in the states.

Thanks for the insights. It’s the grey dial that we may be potentially offered in the near future. We shall see!

I´d love a YG 5167 with blue dial and strap.
Wouldn’t that just mean adding RG/steel/bracelet to 5168 lineup?

AD in Switzerland told me that it’s likely to be on Thursday. Apparently postponed from last week due to the leak snafu.
