Well it is expected. If you want to be the first to have it, pay the price. Same happened when the PAM00380 was released and it will happen again when the PAM00372 is finally released. Same also, as highlighted by terrenceterrence, the Milgauss, the Ceramic GMT Master II and Submariner Date. Even the Tudor Chrono Heritage.

saw one and was offered to me at a few hundred ringgit above list price today but having seen it in the flesh, i can sadly say that i dont like it that much. Am disappointed with the font on the bezel (I love the fonts used on the ceramic bezel of rolex) and because it is thin, it doesnt wear much bigger than the 40mm maxi case. The dial and orange GMT hand however is absolutely sublime.

hi G.MAC,

did you see it at the AD in The Spring? I asked last week and was told they'll receive stock this week. i must see them in the flesh before deciding.

No. A friend brought a piece which he sold in from Singapore. So he let me have look at it first having known how much i was looking forward to own one. Now i am thinking a little bit longer having seen it in the flesh.

AD at Kuching quoted price at roughly RM26k before nego. I can wait till price settles before buying if i really like it. no reason to pay more than MSRP or no discount. i don't need it so badly.
