    Suffer, and suffer some more trying to save money. The more you will enjoy it once you can buy it.

    The MBII pre-owned is worth 3k US, it's a great watch build & unique piece...their customer service is outstanding also.

    Save for it. The waiting will make you appreciate it more when you do purchase it.

    In the 20 years I collected, I am shocked how much watches, at least decent Swiss brands have sky rocketed. I'm glad I have just about every Swiss piece I want because I don't think I can stomach the next Rolex price increase and glad I bought mine when I did. In other brands the increase is much more moderate but still get a little surprised per say of what a U-1 goes for these days. With that said, if you really want one, buy it sooner rather then later. 10 years from now you might be wishing you paid only XXthousands for the watch you wanted.

    Yep, watches are luxury items...supply & demand rules the market.

    I thought the only thing expensive in Britain were dentists!

    I'm not in the Uk so even more expensive and no income tax. Hence the lovely new MB2 on my wrist right now
