My Daily Laugh....
When I go to the FS section and see the crazy, inflated prices of watches, it makes me laugh. Anytime I feel down, I just go to the FS section and see all the bumped threads. I find it hard to believe that people are paying almost 100% over MSRP for a SS Daytona, or 50% more for a SubC. Are these really selling?
Yesterday I read of a forum member who scored a SS Daytona from DavidSW. He must have paid close to double MSRP for the watch. Is this real happiness? Or did Barnum prove his theory, again. |

Agree. If folks want instant gratification it comes at a price.

You know what I agree with you completely! There is no way that a steel ceramic Daytona is actually worth 100% over msrp! it is just not! Thats almost precious metal pricing! How can the precious metal version of the same watch be worth almost the same as steel?!
I understand the premium the Daytona always demanded, but 100% over retail?? |

When I was looking to buy my SS Sub and was told a waiting list times of 3 years plus by the local AD so was tempted by the pre-owned market for that instant gratification..... till I saw the prices!
In the end I got my Sub from another AD in the UK within 3 months or so. |
