Can someone please talk me out of buying a 5167A on the Gray market LOL. I would love to here reasons for and against buying now. This would be my first Patek. A couple things that keep rattling around in my mind are laid out in the list below. I would really love to here from owners of this watch so if you do own one can you please indicate that in your response.

1. I would be paying 30K over list for a stainless steel watch...... on rubber...... but dam i know me and this is what i want to wear.

2. Will the market value continue to drop, or go up....based on what factors.

3. My AD which i have gotten the new panda and pepsi from are not Patek yet....they hope and plan to be.....I should note other stores owned by them are so its not impossible.

4. Has anybody else been offered one in the last few years..... whats your story on how your where allocated one.....Spend History? family history? or just got lucky?

5. is there anything im forgetting to ask?
