Baume makes good watches but their value retention is not good at all, selling them cheap is hard too. You can find pretty deep discounts for Classima models in main stream gray market resellers: https://www.jomashop.com/search?q=Classima

You might be better off buying a Rolex OP pre-owned trying to negotiate hard for a price under the total of the OP at MSRP and the total for the Baume.

Don't ever trust a dealer telling you they will put you on a list for a watch if you buy another, if anything tell them to get you both watches at the same time and you'll pull the trigger and wouldn't do it otherwise.

Update: spoke to the Sales Associate and should be getting a ~15% discount. Will post a pic once I get it.

Had one. Bought from partner at firm. Liked it but didn’t wear it much. Sold it for basically the amount I paid. Wish I had a better pic...

With such increase I do not think it will be viable for long term. So planning to switch/port.
