Buy a batman now!!!

[DanielWatson]

Buy a discontinued batman right now before the prices go even more high trust me! 20k watch in 6 months!!!! My mate bought one last night for 15k unworn stickered! Such a good buy

[thesharkfactor]

Or maybe the BLRO and BLNR2 become more available shortly and the prices of the BLNR1 will either remain the same or see a slight-significant drop.

No one has a crystal ball.

What I thought.

[nigelUK]

I wouldn't buy one for more than £1000 over retail, which I think is strong money for something in demand.

You must be nuts paying that much for a basic modern SS watch. Absolutely bonkers

Part of me hopes they satisfy demand and the grey price drops like a stone. Although I would feel the genuine enthusiast who paid silly money because they had to have one.

These threads are getting sickening at worst, boring at best.

£15k? We’re talking pounds?

Where from?

Unlike some of the others who will make themselves known, I have now issue with how folks spend their own hard earned nor do I get rattled by people who “overpay” for stuff that is ludicrously overpriced even at retail.

However, your mate paid a £3k premium for a watch with stickers, which is an interesting choice assuming he plans to wear it.

£3k premium?

He paid more than double list that's a bit more than a 3k premium.

3k premium for a watch with stickers is what I wrote.

He could’ve bought a one year old example without stickers and lightly worn for £12k on WF at the time. I’ve no issue with people paying going rate for this kind of stuff. Paying more for a stickered watch if you’re going to immediately take them off does seem a bit of a waste though.

Buy all of them and corner the market. That's what Randolph and Mortimer would do.

Oooooo. Love the Trading Places reference!

I held one and thought I’d see what happens. If it sells, it sells. Something is only worth what another will pay for it.

The comment on a gray holding 23 and releasing slowly is fascinating....

Ahem - £15,000 = $19,715

[SpeakWithMichael]

Alllllrighty then.

[fania123]

Nah

[brandrea]

No thanks.

[Tigerrr]

Why? The new one is better looking with a much better movement. It's also possible to change to an oyster bracelet if you want to.

Is the newer movement really that much better? I thought it just had an increased power reserve? My current BLNR keeps excellent time...

[JPS]

15K!!! Madness! What was he smoking?!?!

There’s a thread on here re: an interview with a watchmaker who argues that whilst the 3135 and 3235 (not GMT movements but the principle stands) are both excellent movements, it could be argued that the newer one might not be as good in the long run from a servicing perspective.

The older movements as you say keep astonishingly good time for an automatic, are bulletproof and beloved of watchmakers come servicing time. No doubt the newer movements have advantages - the biggest bring power reserve, but also greater anti-magnetism - but to say they’re “much better” is a sentiment based on marketing hype as much as anything else.

+1
I’m not going to discredit the power reserve advantage, but it doesn’t make a difference for me since I wear the watch everyday.

That’s what I thought. Haven’t read of any really huge advantage other than the power reserve. I had a Tudor Pelagos for a few months and didn’t really notice a huge upside to the power reserve. I either wore the watch to frequently or not frequently enough(more than 3 days between wear)
