    Not really... costs about 10% more. That’s what I’d expect for a limited edition to be honest

    A lot more than 10% more....

    Just submit your workings and I will mark them for you!😀

    If it was only 10% I agree that would be ok.

    Nice but I could never buy something with fake aged lume. Either it’s old or it’s not.

    WoS have the 38mm for £7300, that is just over $9,000. Just over $9000 + 10% is about $10,000... Sir

    I think he forgot that.

    Also forgot about the discount you would get on the standard version....

    I wonder if you can hop over and get the watch from Hodinkee HQ or even better, direct from Switzerland and bring it back into the country by being naughty.....

    Actually what annoys me most about this watch is they're making you feel 'special' with the 100 exclusivity, yet the whole experience is purely transactional - place an order and receive in the post. Underwhelming.

    Edit - I forgot. Gratification comes from all the IG fawning. Doh!

    Suppose it's better than having to build a relationship to get on a waiting list though.

    I've zero time for the faux aged lume. Its like aged denim new from the store. That said though, it's certainly the best looking FF I've seen!

    In my opinion, you're simply choosing to feel that it's something special. You're buying a watch, nothing more, nothing less. If you think it's anything beyond that, then you need to remember you're a customer, nothing more nothing less. They, like an AD, don't care one bit about you beyond the money going through the till.

    Nope. Still not correct.

    Let’s try:

    Hodinkee version $9,900 at current exchange rate = approx £7,950 (probably more)
    Add VAT and total becomes £9,540.

    Standard version £7,300.
    Oh yes what about a discount. I will leave you to check grey market discounts.....

    Anyone buying, even from a UK AD will pay somewhat less than £7,300 for the standard version.
