They must be starting to come through thick and fast now then....just received the call that mine’s arrived at my AD.
Can’t really afford it but wtf - only here once and all that!
Collecting on Thursday.
Proves that previous buying history is important. I’m still waiting for the call from OB in London (where I have no previous)
Bloody excited now!
There are five shown on Chrono24 from the USA ranging from $13,000 to $16,500, with an average of $14,750. No idea how many of these will sell at what seems to be a pretty steep premium (about 40%) over MSRP + sales tax. This is natural, it always happens, then things will settle down. People are just testing the waters to see if someone comes forward that just has to have one, even at an inflated price. I suspect this edition will hold close to its retail price long term, but the market will determine its price fate.
There is a well respected dealer who has had a brand new one for $12,375 for a few weeks now, still available it seems.
Ok so forgive me but I don't really have the time to peruse 71 pages of info, but I have a question...
What is the current availability of these? I'm assuming sold out.
They were of no interest to me so I really paid no attention, but my mother in law wants to buy one for her husband as a 50th birthday present.
He loves space, its his 50th birthday, thus, the 50th anniversary Speedy.
So I'm thinking we can't just call up an AD or boutique and purchase one...but I figured I'd check.
Or at least put a "WTB" out there if there is anyone considering parting with one.
Such a nice piece! Congratulations to everyone with these in their hands. I’m jealous.
Have we still not had anyone here actually try the bracelet on a normal Speedy yet? No speculation, or opinions, but actually tried them together?
It always hurts when you get that first scuff, scratch or nick on a new watch, or car. But unless it is a safe queen these things will happen, and now it is personalized.
