Got the call from my AD for a Batgirl last month. My brother-in-law just got the call for a pepsi but it no longer interested. Is it worth having both the Batman and Pepsi?

You could get both, decide which you like more, then sell the other and almost cover the cost of the one you’re keeping.

I’ll buy the one you don’t want!

If nothing else, buying both is a good investment…yes, I said it, investment, bc of how nuts this market is.

Hope you didn’t sell it because hulk’s have gone for more than 15K this past year.

It is literally incredible how the people with the privilege to acquire a Rolex don’t jump on it every chance they get. I cannot stress this enough, you are literally losing money not buying it. At this point it’s pretty much any Rolex piece. If you can buy it, the moment you walk out the door you can sell it for more than you paid. Especially with the chance to buy a high demand GMT, put it on a credit card if you can’t afford it and you’ll be able to pay it off plus make a few extra thousand bucks. This shouldn’t even be a question

It’s easy to say this when you have the means and the knowledge. But maybe a less liquid, nonWIS would be very stressed about the risk.

Is it worth it? Probably not

Will it make us all envy you? Absolutely

I took advantage of the opportunity and picked up the watch this morning and put it into my safe. I’m sure my BIL will come to his senses but if he doesn’t, it’s a nice addition.

Sure. If you don’t want the Pepsi happy to buy from you lol

If you have ungodly money or double digit watches, sure.

For average folks, probably not. That’s a lot of $$ to spend for half a colored bezel

Do it. If anyone else was in your shoes they would.

Resale value aside, probably not worth having both the Pepsi and the Batgirl unless you really love the GMT. Lots of other great watches out there and you can buy when you're ready, not just because one is available. However if your BIL is cool with you flipping it, why not

Damn that's a kind offer!

I was in a similar scenario last year. I had a Pepsi and got offered the root beer and even though both watches are pretty different I ended up passing on the root beer because I didn’t want 2 GMT’s in my collection.

Can I buy the Pepsi if you’re not interested? That’s at the top of my list!!!

Another guy looking to scoop that Pepsi if you don’t want it

Lucky to both of you. I’m still waiting for the call for batgirl.

The students who were speaking felt that they were not heard, and all of the attention was focused on this trans student.

Checked out an Omega Seamaster PO (215.30.44.21.03.001) today at an AD - would be my first nice watch and purchase through the AD. Should I expect any ability to negotiate price? Any other watches I should consider instead? This group has been amazing with regards to information and the pinned posts invaluable, but wanted to bring it to the experts directly.

Has anyone joined the Grand Seiko GS9 Club? I have to say, I am very impressed but this new endeavor. It is not gimmicky as I initially suspected. Joining allows you to directly purchase even their limited edition timepieces that would’ve only been available at boutiques. Grand Seiko is really positioning themselves in the market. Very curious to see what is to come and whether prices will begin to reflect that.
