Brexit has obviously affected grey prices but 12 months ago I would have said £2K was the target new price.
The recent SC sales suggests used prices here haven't changed much and £1700-£1800 will get you a lightly used example without too much trouble. Dealer prices have certainly crept up though with Watchfinder asking 2.1-2.4kish for theirs.
I'd echo the above, for a perfect full set new one in newer style box. Links are very expensive, so make sure you get a full bracelet if buying new, and I'm fairly sure you should get two half links with the newer bracelets too - I have two on mine, and need them both for a perfect fit, as there is no adjustment on the standard clasp.
I'd rather pay £1600-£1700 for a perfect complete set, than have to try and piece together any missing bits. From memory, I paid a very reasonable £1600 for mine and it was like new and only a few months old.
The real question is, how much is buying new compare to a lightly worn one worth to you?
Well I've just flipped my full size ceramic black 2012 (missing warranty card) on gumtree and got £1450 cash in hand.
I think the answer is to try and get a Pre loved one then...Quote:

I paid 2005gbp for mine late last year, plus 100 to the fundraiser.
Don't think he is last I checked. I remember reading he was going to honour a couple of purchases already requested but that would be it.Quote:

Iconic has them for £2300 and in stock so if your offer was from an AD then it's a good price for new.
They pop up on here for £1600-£1800 quite regularly and mostly in good nick. A WTB will probably get a result.
