    I think it is a matter of where you choose to spend money and what is considered comfortable living. Luxuries vs necessities and what is comfortable living is different for everyone. Things change when you have children. Even if you a lot of money.

    KEY POINT: Young kids. If you have young kids or raising a family, how much free time do you have ? If you do not have free time, why spend the extra $ to live in Manhattan ? A common model is ambitious single people living and working in NYC, develop successful career, get married, then...

    Nice update. Not surprised at the price for custom, platinum, Cartier NYC, 2022. Also not surprised they want to know more about you since it is a custom item. So, item 4. How do you describe yourself and what do you think the SA categorized you ?

    If people are expecting to pay MSRP, how does that help drive up prices ? If the biz has customers that want the same watch, why sell it to someone who never even asked for it ? Should not be hard for them to tell which customers want the watch to wear and own vs which will flip it. That...

    Hmm. An AD offering you a 3rd Daytona. I am not a collector or in the market for a Daytona or any Rolex. This does not seem like normal market dynamics.

    I know. I live in Manhattan. Many in this thread are not familiar with the vast differences in NYC neighborhoods and living styles.

    Everyone has a different definition of comfortable. Manhattan, Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens, Staten Island. How many square feet of living space. Public vs private school. Public transportation, private, car, parking. Eating out, delivery, cooking your own meals. Hamburger and chicken or steak...

    Interesting reading the last several pages about collecting, resale vales, expensive boxes, hobbies, etc.. I don't sell, don't consider resale value, have an Omega, Bvlgari, IWC, Cartier, 2 AP. I have and wear sentimental watches like a Seiko and Suunto. A Garmin for running, a Baltic as a...

    I never said the ROC is the same as the 15202. I just wrote my wait list experiences at NYC AP.

    In 2020-1 at NYC AP, I bought a Code, because I wanted it. Then went on a waitlist for a ROC and got it in 4 months.

    Here is a video explaining and showing some of the differences btw 15202 vs 15500. Surprisingly the smaller 15202 extends it's bracelet further out on the wrist.

    Yes, I wear a dive computer so a dive watch serves no purpose. I also would not wear a nice watch on a dive because it would get scratched and banged up.

    I think the rose gold is 13.5k ? I was expecting custom with platinum and all the other stuff you want to be more than 20k. Will be interesting to hear what they quote.

    $20k is the price for your custom Cartier Tank ?

    I use an analog apg and wrist dive computer. I feel funny wearing a modern style dive watch or paying for deep depth ratings. But the GO Seaq does look sweet.

    Well, the whole dive watch category is about looks. Depth ratings 100m or more ? Helium escape valves ? Kind of silly. As a diver, if I am going to wear a dive watch, it will be vintage style with a leather strap or mesh bracelet. If I am going diving, I wear a dive computer.

    Fresh out of the box. Looking forward to seeing it in daylight and how the patina develops.
