Yep 😳
+ = Unless I’m missing something… (please let me know if you know if there is something else that is unique about this new one) Take a ceramic laureato skeleton and a full gold laureato Skelton and with some mix and match magic … what do you get? A new “L...
Exactly
The problem is not the watches. We had seen the steel ones at 50% off MSRP in the Singapore secondary markets. The problem is inventory control and bundling of GP to get a Patek or FPJ. 🤝
My friend sold his for $18k.
I don't love the bracelet design on these, otherwise it was a great deal. Hell of a lot of watch for the money...
Sad state of affairs

Hmmm….
It’s a looker but agree that as a “new” release, it’s disappointing, especially given how much GP hypes it up! But a very nice watch nonetheless. I guess I have gone down the “common” route! Picked this up this week and very pleased with it. ...
Agree with your points
As for the “common” point, I’d like to clarify. First of all, no offence meant. By common, I meant that the laureato skeleton has been allowed to be treated with less awe and respect than it deserves. Too many for sale on the secondary market from bundle ...
