Incoming!!! Got the call, quick AF!

Hello all!

I posted a WTB, Datejust 126331 with Wimbelton dial here about a month ago. Have been in correspondence with a few trusted grey dealers. 100% no question legit dealer quoted me $18,750. 99.9% (would still be a no green light for me) quoted me $17,900.

I visited 4 local ADs in the past two weeks and added my name to the waitlist. Purchase history at one, a 36mm Datejust about 15 years ago.

About two weeks later, today, I got the call from Tourneau/Bucherer telling me my watch is there.

$16,022 with NY sales tax OTD! There is hope people. There is hope! The watch is stunning! I love it!

I have learned so much from you all over the years! Thank you, thank you!20240216_165007.jpg20240216_171133.jpg20240216_165229.jpg20240216_172539.jpg20240216_172942.jpg20240216_172439.jpg20240216_172453.jpg

Rather than going secondary, patience is sometimes the best policy when it comes to a TT DJ41.

Congrats!

That’s not a difficult combination. The SA must have been ecstatic to get that out the door
