My buddy is an AD and told me that when available (possibly July)
Only those ADs who went to Basel will get one
The rest most likely in September ...if they ask for one.

I have one reserved
...but we have to satisfy demand from the "retail clientele" (sic) first - I was
told - before I'll get one. At 60.000 + euros (?)... I do not see many buyers
lining up to buy - so pretty soon.. I will have one...
Reserve yours now...

$75! That's crazy. I love watches, but I don't think I am ready to mortgage one!

It will be a great addition to anyone's collection but spending the money plus the juice will make them hard to get. Somehow I believe this watch when it hits the AD's will command a premium and a waiting list.....for those who have a spare $75K sitting around gathering dust!!!

Take it easy.....Leo

I seems like Ll of the new introductions get a premium initially. But after a year or so I don't see it holding up on this one unless it was super limited. I would think eventually you should be able to get a nice discount on this.

That's a whole lot of green! That a new corvette and a new two tone sub with change common back! But I guess if you can afford a $75000 watch you're not to concerned with money.

I was offered one for July from a trusted Grey importer in Cheshire UK for £45k thats 5k off list or around 10%

Most watches they sell are sourced in europe and mostly Italy

I dont think I will be buying one at £50,100

But I would really like to see and handle one

I personally agree with you, however everything is relative

I keep reading this kind of comment but I don't think you have to be a multi-millionaire to buy a $50-70K watch. You just need a good income and a determined and disciplined savings plan.
