I just got an email from a very well-known and respected pre-owned dealer here in the U.S.

They want $22500 for a Batman; and $13500 for a YG Breguet Marine Big Date. Both are complete. I think the world has gone completely mad.

Lol!

Honestly if people all said NO and stopped buying for 1 month. These crazy dealers and grey market would have to drop prices.... customers are paying so not much can be done

Beyond mad.

A well known dealer in my area recently posted a PP 5164 in steel for almost $60k and the bezel has lots of wear. I’m sure it will be sold in a day or two, which seems to always be the case for this seller in this insane market these days. Things are craz... 

I believe so 😉 [nt]

Like the Daytona and Nautilus, it has become a status symbol watch. It’s a lovely watch, but once the pricing gets to this level, the satisfaction becomes more about having the connections to get to the front of the line or the resources to skip the line.... 

I like the brand way before the hype but I became smitten since they introduced the ceramic models .

It saddens me to see this phenomenon , . After reading lots of philosophical approaches, and talking with most of the AD’s in my area, this whole shortage it’s caused by one simple fact: Wealthy inpatient people who want the watch A.S.A.P. and are willing...  

I think I just passed out!!

For the sake of my checkbook, please tell me he carries none of those 😀

where 'market forces ' seems to drive prices. However,if i were to be allowed to be politically incorrect,that's shallowness of personal psyche that drives that drives this. Sure,you'll have the wherewithal,but there's a point where it becomes ridiculous.... 

Ditto! [nt]
