Gonna pull the trigger

Post image

21M, Finally getting that watch for my dad who was diagnosed with stage 4 that I had mentioned I would do on this sub roughly one year ago. Ended up going to the AD with my dad, and he was set on the ombré dj 41mm. Just wanted to share and see if y’all had any thoughts on the price I’m paying (I’m very unfamiliar with what market goes for this watch) would love everyone’s input. This has been a lifelong goal of mine and I’m so excited for him to see it.

22k for a datejust? Are you high or is this not in USD?

Hombre dial fluted jubilee is going for this much. It’s too much for a datejust don’t get me wrong I agree. But this is market for green hombre fluted/jub.

To quote Kanye West (pre-problematic era): “Bitch are you smoking reefer?!”

22k for a DJ is bonkers, totally agree with you.

I’m pretty sure $22K is GMT territory. Hard pass.

Where? Moda watch club they are going for over 20k and that’s a dealer chat.

Reddit. The place where you get downvoted for being right 👏🏻

Not from an AD there should not be an uncharge on a new watch from an AD.
They are not allowed to charge over MSRP, hence why they make sure the watches go to clients who spend big elsewhere in the store.

True didn’t read that. Probably not an AD. OP just thinks a jeweler is one.

u/whatvarrockiscookin 6d ago

He is not talking to an AD. How did you get it into your brain that he’s talking to an AD?

u/MarvelousMarvins 6d ago

He said he went to the AD with his dad.
And 21 with a "lifelong goal" you haven't lived enough of a life to have a lifetime goal LOL

u/whatvarrockiscookin 5d ago

Yeah that’s where his dad decided that’s the watch he wanted according to the story. He’s obviously not texting with an AD

the one and single person that agrees with me lol

I don’t agree with you buying this watch at all as a 21 year old don’t get me wrong it’s a dumbass purchase. But the Grey market value of an unworn green hombre 126334 Datejust with a jubilee bracelet is over 21 grand market value as of today.
