You'll probably be able to find one significantly cheaper from a trusted seller or even a private seller with feedback here in the classifieds...you might have to wait, but they pop up every so often.

It seems there are other options priced lower than 23000 dollars.

I'd wait for MSRP (or a discount) personally. Everyone's different. If it's worth 23K to you, then maybe you should pick it up!

On the same note, this grey dealer also has the SD43. He's asking $13,800 USD

How much is he over with his premium on this one? Same deal, used watch with full box and papers, in addition, this one was traded to him 2 days after the original buyer got it from the Rolex AD so when I say it's used, we're talking 2 days used and probably the AD peeled the stickers off on condition of sale.

23K is crazy, but I'm sure someone will pay that. You really must want the watch because think of what other watches you could buy.

Take a look at the for sale section here and you will find multiple examples of the 2 watches. That should give you some idea of current market rates. Good luck!

$13,365 from a LEADING trusted seller right here. Unused with all paper and plastics and thats the asking price.

My only issue with buying from the forums wanted section is every single one of them is located in the USA.

Problem is, I live in Canada, so shipping it is a huge NO NO due to tax implications.

Second, even if I fly to where ever it is, I still have to contend with possible issues when I wear it back. I'd definitely have to ship the box and papers back separately.

$23k? LMFAO - that guy is dreaming.

Might as well just buy a full precious metal piece.

Does DavidSW ever fly into Canada???? If he does, I'm 100% sold! I've seen his website.

Isn't there any seller here who travels to Canada????? Yeah, I agree, our PM is a douche, but he's not representative of the rest of the country.

OMG, MSRP is $14,400 and $18K>$20K is considered a good deal?!? What has the watch world come to. This insane.

I don't judge anyone for paying over MSRP, if I had money to burn I probably would as well, but I am never going to pay over MSRP. This is getting a bit crazy.
