AP RBII titanium - What to do?

Hi Guys. I have found a brand new AP RBII in titanium for sale in "just left the boutique" condition. My concerns are its a lot of money for a titanium watch, also would I be to scared to wear it and would it become a safe monster? I was looking at trading my unworn AP messi steel plus cash ! I am in a real dilemma. I have a 44m RG and diver in my AP collection. Thx

This.

If it's a good deal, it's a no-brainer. If he is asking more because it's "new" then it's going to depend on what kind premium we are talking about here.

Personally, the Messi and Diver would go...I'd get this (if the asking price makes sense) and keep the 44RG.

RBII is an icon and will hold it's value.
No need to make it a safe queen.
That's a keeper once you have it.

RBII is the best AP ever made, full stop. The titanium version is the best one of the three versions in my opinion. I would even sell the diver for this one. Get it and you will NEVER regret it!!!!

If you have a RG in your collection I don't see why you would be scared to wear this one, it's an awesome AP-simply stunning, I would be all over it- go for it!

$3-4K on the high side, even though being sold as "Just Left The Boutique". My advise keep looking and don't rush into such an expensive decision. I know the feeling of wanting it rightnow but it's going to hurt in the long run when you try to unload it.

Hi

Its 48500 dollars and I've also got to get it back to the UK... What should the target price be?

Shame the exchange rate isn't great either

I think the forum has spoken...it's on the higher side so buy it if you want it now, or wait for something else that's closer to market.

been looking and yet no luck..hahaha..but few weeks ago a friend of mine in NYC found 1 RB2 Ti but no papers..he said most of his customers bought an AP without the paper...I was like 'watttt theeee' and suprisingly asking me the price of 48k like with paper...too risky for me...
