My watch shop visits continue. I was surprised to see a new two tone model gmt from Basel 2018 in Ken watches. Massive price of HKD195,000 or US $25,100.

Will be interesting to see if it’s snatched up or sits. I bet it sits. TT is for those that can’t afford full gold according to some posters LOL. I’m betting I fall in love when I see one in person.

It looks great and I don't like two tone. Who would have thought they'd make a brown watch though! How much should it cost?

25k? Wow, wouldn't be surprised if the Pepsi hovers around the 20k mark.

Pffffft. I’d buy a PM Daytona or Sub rather than pay that sort of premium. Utter madness.

I’ve seen a slew of these posted by various grey dealers here in recent days (one asking HKD175k...195k sounds pretty optimistic)

In no way am I trying to buy anything that is not new for more than the cost of a new one. That’s just not very smart.

With social media there are many non-WIS who now want to be first to show off their new prize and make the girls yearn and the guys eat their hearts out.

Hey I guess you can’t fault them for trying. I wouldn’t even be too surprised if someone scooped it up.

Oh, wow.

At some points, this gets stupid. Wouldn‘t a brand want to stop it, at some point. Or are they hoping, the balloon will keep rising further?
