A great watch. Unfortunately today this watch is in high demand for good reason. Life is short so a little extra to enjoy it is worth it. Only flippers and so called investors need stress themselves with what they payed.
Congratulations and welcome to TRF.

Congratulations on this beautiful peace of horlogerie. Sometimes it is better to pay more instead of waiting years.

Brilliant first purchase ! That is my intended next purchase, having yesterday ordered a Hulk. So maybe can I suggest you do the reverse and go Hulk next?!

20% or a 1-3 year wait is no contest really.
