EWC is listing an unworn 5980/60g. I’m curious how such a coveted piece can be flipped so quickly? Wouldn’t the AD and original buyer both be in big trouble?

The offering price gave me a good laugh

I saw this and thought the same thing. There probably aren't many of these out in the wild, so they may make some calls to see who is flipping this watch. But in the end, I think this is just too hard for them to police. Vetting all of their buyers or coming up with no-flipping contracts would take too much time and money.

Price is about right, last two on Moda went for $200k-$220k. I suspect they are coming from overseas. I've bought a few watches from EWC, always a pleasant experience.

True, I wonder the same about the Tiffany blue 5711s I see listed

EWC is pretty connected. Not surprised. I've always had a really good experience with them.

Saw one in the wild(on someone's wrist) this past weekend at the Wynn in Las Vegas. Went well with his swim attire lol
