...I’m sure your motives are pure, but I’m a tad skeptical of all these people who suddenly ‘need’ a 5711, Daytona, CB, AP RO....I wonder how much of it is down to a genuine desire and unfortunate timing, and how much of it is simply due to the fact that they’ve become difficult to obtain and everyone wants one so they can say they have one. I find it hard to believe that thousands of people have only just discovered these watches. When I see people willing to spend 80k on a 5711 or 40k on FPJ CB, it just strikes me as hollow.

I really want a Chronometre Bleu at some point in my - my timing is very bad as i've just recently become obsessed. Are they ever going to be available again at retail for someone who has no prior FPJ purchases? know nobody really knows - but i worry sinc...
I think it is unlikely.

have you looked at the Chronometre Souverain? It is more easy to get and a superb FPJ watch.

the delta for a clean, platinum CS vs a grey market CB is just enough to make it difficult!
the flip side - which is interesting based on the numbers?

It looks like a CB is going for 60%-75% over retail. A mass produced steel daytona ceramic is going for 100% over retail A Nautilus is going for 200% over retail If is was going to pay a premium - no question where my money would go!
True.

And my feeling is that these numbers will change.

If the CB were precisely in that same "look-at-me" category as the others you mention they would be going for 120K since there are so few made. I could literally take the 10K profits from my rolex hulk and bridge much of the gap between secondary and prim...
