lion, if you look around, 317 has been falling off the skies like frogs
honestly, I had 3 friends of mine who acquired the 317 within the last 2 weeks all at list. Many got called from Boutique.
At second hand dealers, there are 5 of them flowing around and they wouldn't even take any trade in... too many dead stocks unfortunately. The watch is not cheap FWIW (personally...I own one as well) and no one knows how it will fare in the future but even dealers are scratching their heads. The falling Euros even after price adjustments make for a lot of cheap watches and many dealers would sell them to you 200K for sure. They took a few back for 190K and they are thinking of ridding them 210K. Honestly, pm me if you need help I can point you out to right direction but it's not rare anymore by last year's standard when dealers didn't have more than 1.

That's too much premium. You can probably get one for $28k BNIB right now, which is pretty close to retail after tax depending on your state and local tax rates ($25.6k retail plus 9.375% tax). Guys are listing it at $30k, but none are trading at that lev...

really appreciated that .... my problem is I currently reside in Hong Kong right now, where I am not familiar with the boutique there .... and I pretty much could make a wide guess that their waiting list for 317 would be unimaginably long!! my wish and e...
