ckay I love it down there as well, I live in the Baltimore area now but have been seriously considering moving down to the Bethesda/Chevy Chase/ Northern Virginia area
Had this just about a year. My first big watch purchase, certainly won’t be my last.
seeshawn love the steel bezel!
Very nice
IToldAlthea Thanks - I loved it when I bought it, but it's grown on me each day. Thing can take a beating too. I don't baby it, wear it every day, at work, etc. still looks great.
After a few years of coming up empty-handed at local ADs, I was in NYC on Saturday for a buddy's wedding and my wife encouraged me to stop into Watches of Switzerland, where I walked out with this. Got banged by the NYC tax but love the pickup.
CLTGamecock Nice...used to be places would ship it to avoid tax, but not sure they can do that anymore.
CLTGamecock great piece 👍 given the current environment you did very well, at retail plus sales tax.
TFixer5 yeah the sales rep didn't even offer after I asked if he'd take a little off the retail price to combat the taxes. I knew it was a big ask given the demand for the watch.
ckay Thanks! Was actually just looking at Crown and Caliber and noticed they are selling preowned for $4,150 plus tax so I'll take it!
CLTGamecock The hunting and waiting for something specific is always nice when it happens. At the end of the day it's a nice outcome and story that came about from an unexpected trip. When you're the first owner knowing what secondary and the entire watch market is facing it just make it that much more sentimental. It's always the hunt and patience for me. Now comes that stressful wait where you try not to get that first scratch on that bracelet!
Putterho Couldn't agree more! They aren't scratches, they are patina! Just a value add...
In the market for a no date Sub - I thought a member was an AD or a jeweler. If anyone has any good leads, let me know. Thx
seeshawn Good luck! Bright side is prices are trending down on gray market.
ckay I know - happy to go used as well.
Whatcha looking for? Year range? I sell new and pre owned Rolex/AP/Patek/ Richard Mille
ekaj Looking for a no date sub - not super picky on year, etc. - would like as little wear as possible. Found an unworn 124060 with all box papers for $12000. I have a Tudor and Omega now - so no AD purchase history and am out here in AZ. PM as well any info.
ekaj Do you mess with Panerai at all?
Isn’t a deep sea, but I love it! Solid time peace.
