Guys,

Do you think this is expensive? I think it's a bit overpriced...

I think for the age it does seem to be a touch on the expensive side. Perhaps it's negotiable (and yes I made sure to do a currency conversion check first

)

Im from Australia already so it's a local watchmaker which makes it more attractive since there is no currency fluctuation or shipping etc...

Been waiting for this place to stock up on the 16613 for a few months now...now i'm a bit disappointed that it's priced quite high. Ahh well...keep looking then :P

If you are into lume, my guess is the lume is shot. Look for one that says "Swiss Made" at the 6 O'clock. It has superluminova. I bought mine for $5,000 U.S. in March and I got a great watch. Best of luck!

Oh I understand you're in Australia. I just wanted to make sure that I was putting it in proper perspective with regards to pricing for my own currency and not just looking at the AUD price.

I have one, its a 1997 and a half, black TT, can sell for $4400 shipped.

drtooth73,
thank you for the offer however i'm looking for the blue one :)

diablojoto,
cheers! i think AUD = .78USD is probably the best indicator.

badfish179,
can you please elaborate on 'the lume is shot'. meaning that the glow would have been all worn out? from what year is the superluminova available on the 16613s?

Cheers guys!
