One of the most beautiful references, have down. Yes, get it. No brainier.

Odie-r 25 July 2019 12:18 PM

If you don't REALLY want it, then don't buy it. I love mine, and tend to wear it the most frequently. I'm no help, but good luck!

drtii 25 July 2019 12:28 PM

Is this really a question? If you don't want it I'll take it in a heartbeat.

Ballzzz 25 July 2019 12:31 PM

Don’t buy it if you don’t like it.

Bryan81 25 July 2019 12:34 PM

I would buy it, but that’s just me. The BLRO is at the top of my wish list. Many of the other hard to get models don’t interest me and I would pass, but not on this one.

Dougiebaby 25 July 2019 12:53 PM

There is a saying, “He who hesitates...”



I had a similar situation last week and I said Yes!

I am very happy I did.

And he I am... the lonely voice in the wildness...

Listen to your heart... honestly, I can hear you saying that you don’t really want it. You find the piece to be EXTREMELY repetitive, in your collection.

If it were not for the hype, and the insane demand... would you buy it?

You don’t strike me as one who is thinking, “I can flip this and make a grand, or two, or three, or... TEN!!!

Let it go... an pray that it finds a home on a wrist that will truly adore it!

Blessings & Good Luck with your decision!

Ummm this whole “I have to buy cause I’ll never get the chance again” mindset can be dangerous. First of all, if it was your grail you wouldn’t hesitate. Second of all, if you buy cause you feel you have to, then someone next on list misses out who really wants it. If you resell, then undoubtedly it will be over retail helping to drive up the market. There is no right or wrong. I’ve been on both ends. Yet, I would suggest a little soul searching before you pull the trigger.

Woody 25 July 2019 03:04 PM

I have a general rule that I only buy things that I like.....I used to think that this was pretty obvious but it appears that for many people the world is becoming a more complex place. Good luck with your decision.

VicLeChic 25 July 2019 03:18 PM

I'd buy no matter what. You can always reassess your collection later on. You might not be able to buy one at MSRP ever again.

huba01 25 July 2019 03:21 PM

With the BLRO you have an awsome trio, really like the your tt´s
Congrats

Nairn1980 25 July 2019 03:39 PM

Stick with what you’ve got and allow a real enthusiast to get the Pepsi....it’ll brighten the right persons day.

Rocket launcher 25 July 2019 03:44 PM

Saw one in the wild the other day ...
Did not like it far too jewellery like for me ..

However due to the hype and demand if I was in your shoes I would buy it and flip it straight away without even wearing it ..then use the money to get a watch I like.

It's not everyday you get £7000+ of free money....
It's a nice little win or a very nice holiday for you and the family

It takes some saving

SS Oyster 25 July 2019 03:46 PM

Oh you purists .... OP go with your heart and turn down a nice neat stack of ninety (90) crisp $100 bills that would land in your lap should you buy, end up not loving and decide later to sell.

Love it (like I love mine)

Or, if you don’t ...

I think you forgot to add something else too though

TswaneNguni 25 July 2019 03:47 PM

Rhetorical question OP.What you are saying is that you are opening a pepsi .

Frank McKay 25 July 2019 03:51 PM

Ask your AD to flip a coin for you. Heads BUY, Tails WALK.

rohk 25 July 2019 04:09 PM

Buy!

Jef_ 25 July 2019 07:53 PM

I loved this watch since the moment I first saw a picture of it. And I have come to the conclusion that this is in fact a no-brainer. Thanks y’all for helping me realize that :dummy:
I just called the AD to give them the good news. :clap:

If I tell you that is the last for the year and there is an upcoming price increase, you’d probably jump at the chance to buy it right away.

It’s a beautiful watch. Buy it. Or I’ll buy it.

:cheers: :thumbsup:

Once they can get them they don't want them, until then they will complain.

Not taking that watch would have been the last time they offerd you a hard to get. You made the correct play, congratulations!

Sublovin 25 July 2019 08:43 PM

You really shouldn’t feel “honored” in my opinion. This highlights the level of silliness we have gotten to in this hobby.

kevlar 25 July 2019 08:45 PM

Buy what you like, if you don't like it move on and let someone else enjoy it!

brandrea 25 July 2019 08:46 PM

I’m confused as to why you were hesitating.

Congratulations, it’s a great watch:cheers:

dxbtousa 25 July 2019 08:54 PM

Ill buy :)

Cesarmsi 25 July 2019 09:08 PM

You will never regret buying it BUT for SURE you will regret not buying it.

abozz 25 July 2019 09:15 PM

ok buy it!!!!!!!!!!, at least as a investment.

peterpl 25 July 2019 10:42 PM

Just buy it. If you dont and think your doing the right thing the next guy is just going to buy it and make a quick $3-4k on it anyway

Its all a flippers markets these days. Unless you really want to be a good samaritan and pass it onto a fellow TRF long time member that you KNOW 100% is not a flipper. Then yes I would do that if you weren't really into the watch

Mike Jab 25 July 2019 10:58 PM

Ride the hype train and buy it just to say you have it and post it on instagram, leave it for someone who loves it buys it, or buy it and flip it for a monstruous profit. I know what i would do :)

CharlesN 25 July 2019 10:59 PM

Why are you asking us ?

YOU know your WILL BUY it.

YOU know resistance is futile.
