That carbon Nanograph ended at US $10,250.

While I'm not a fan, I think it's much more interesting a novelty at that price.

Have been waiting for the pink chrono, but was just offered the white on Nato at a very good price. Thoughts?

There are tons of Black Bay Chronos available on the secondhand market and they're now readily below $4k US. Doubt anywhere will come close to that brand new.

OTOH, if you think it'll help move you up the list to get the pink one, you could play that game

I don’t play the game of buying something to allow me to buy something else.

I would be buying to wear and keep. The offer was 25% off retail, but that deal is only on select models at this AD. Mainly on Nato straps and not leather or bracelet.

My only concern is legibility, white hands against a white dial seems like a bad combo

That is a fair point tbh.

Probably wouldn’t stop me buying it. Not like watches have to actually tell the time these days

That’s true. I have zero need for a chrono and will just be a glorified fidget spinner, but will get one at some point.

Whilst I love my BB58 on the Tudor Nato, I do find the unbrushed unpolished case where the end link sits distracting and also as the nato is thin makes the case seem very tall. I’ve seen something fit a Rubber B style strap in black to this and it looks the bomb, white would also work.

This strap is impossibly thin btw. I think it’s the same as my FXD, but feels different without the extra thickness of the Velcro attached. Nicely made, but seemed at major odds with the robustness of the watch itself.

Difficult to put on too, as a result.

Have you tried it in the Tudor leather? I really like how mine looks and wears

I’m generally not a fan of any lug gap between case and strap. Although I do keep coming to the leather, it suits the gilt & means I’d have a full OEM full house, nato, rubber & bracelet.

But I just cannot get other the tail coming the opposite way (& I know it’s due to the buckle showing the name correctly and something common on GS).

This one's interesting, $4225, boxes only though (no card)

I've never been a huge fan of the 'radial' layout Monaco dials, I think they work far better with the classic horizontal markers keeping the theme of the square case. But I don't think I've seen too many of these models for sale and this one's cheap!

Not really an enabler, but a quick response on Watchfinder's margin, which is 40%. I sold this watch to WF for £5,150.

I am not sure how you do math bro but £2060 profit on a £7210 price is not a 40% margin. It is correct that they added 40% to the price of what they paid you, but it is incorrect to claim they have a 40% margin when selling it at £7210.

Thanks for sharing though, interesting to learn how they operate. Explains also why they have room to allow offers and accept lower.
