Definitely paying a premium for a watch with the stickers still in place. You can find one newer (that is an F-serial) in very good condition for around $2,000 cheaper.

Yeah, basically you're paying $2k for the stickers.

IMO save the 2K, and get a preowned one from a reliable source, unless you're putting it in a vault.

There is no short term benefit buying at that price. Certainly not Vintage for at least 25+ years or more.

If you did put it away, it'd be worth slightly more than the current asking price even then.

Prices like these make sense only if you're buying NIB from an AD.
