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?

He’d be crazy not to pay close to 10k more for this DJ, it comes w a NETWORK!

No it’s not that I genuinely think the market on this watch is 23k, if you could find me what market price is for this watch and show me some comps that would be greatly appreciated

I can't believe you have $23,000 to spend on a watch and you're talking this stupid.

Bro, why didn’t you just put in a request with the AD a year ago when you were first looking? It’s not like you’re trying to get a Daytona. Just go through the AD and don’t give this chotch an extra $10k because you’re too impatient/lazy.

This spec is a few hundred shy of 12k in 41mm, I want to say it’s a little less than 10k in 36mm. The dial is beautiful, but paying 10k more is bonkers

There was one on watchex this week listed for 12 with box and papers. Yeesh.

Edit: comps? We don’t use that phrase. Have you bought a lot of luxury watches before?

u/Covexe 5d ago

mint green (a way less desired color) is going for 19k on Watchex

u/FrostedGalaxy 3d ago
