Le Mans

[scooba]

Has anyone bought one on here ? . Just how rare is this piece going to be ?

[EEpro]

Resale is $250,000 so it's super rare.

[dnd2984]

Super super Rare. My Ad said spend history $500k plus.

I’m waiting for mine to show up. Hopefully they discontinue it immediately after that.

Why so you can flip yours right away, like the onyx DD40 you got?

Haha no I don’t flip, but who wouldn’t want their collection to maintain or increase in value over time?

Not a matter of who would/wouldn't. Many of us just don't care. Highly recommend trying, it's liberating.

I guess that’s easy if you’re really wealthy. If you’re not, then it’s an asset you might need to sell in the future.

I don’t care if a $10k watch trades for half, I do care if a $100k watch trades for half.

LeMans is free money as long as they don’t overproduce it. You can wear it and enjoy it as much as you want “for free”.

Human nature is just plain ugly especially as a stranger on the Internet

Meh, I wouldn’t find his wish that a piece he owns getting discounted is “plain ugly.” The worst case scenario there is someone that still wants to buy the watch at retail is SOL. Big deal, cry me a river

On the other hand, what I do find to be “plain ugly” and disgusting is when people here wish for an extreme economic downturn so they can more easily buy watches at retail. In that scenario the worst case is millions of people out of jobs or underemployed. Now that is truly a disgusting wish just so someone can get a watch at retail.

... the irony is that watch premiums are a symptom of the same zirp-charged asset bubble rising tide that lifted the complainers' stock "investment" portfolios to a point where they would even contemplate buying a Daytona, retail or otherwise.

The moment covid hit it was "I don't care about watches I just want my big number on the screen back!"

I was mostly kidding anyway just to get a reaction, although I wouldn’t complain if that was the case.

I haven’t had a problem getting watches at retail because I’m not new to the market. I’m at zero on AP though.

I know about one AD sale locally -- bundled with ~$200K of jewelry.

[deskdiverdom]

An ad said be surprised if they even see one.

[russ86]

My AD said would be SUPER hard to get, they will give the first one to top $ customer

None released in the UK yet…

[dardeca]

My AD told me they've had 1 so far. Apparently Corporate made the call on who got it and it was someone with spend history of approx. $2m.

Makes sense. My wife thinks I don’t have much chance but I’m holding out hope.

[MrMikee]

They should take it out and let people wear it -- then they can call it used and sell it for $250K!

There has been a brand new one for sale at Offical watches in London for three months at £215

Yeah but ADs can’t sell above retail unless they call it “used”, which they can do if it’s an exhibition piece that has been in the case for 30+ days.

Yeah it was at Lunns. Definitely for a VIP… you have to be spending some big money to get that type of piece. They were really open about it too.. which I understand.
