I have a GO and a BP. Both purchased preowned for less than half MSRP. The BP is my wife’s, it was from Topper and less than a year old, still under factory warranty. GO was from long time WUS member and was 2 years old, just outside warranty.

It is just a reflection. Topper's rates their pre owned very critically so a 93% would be like 98-99% other places.

I'd pay Topper their asking price for that watch before I'd pay $4,000 more elsewhere for 1% better.

In the past week, I’ve almost bought a Black Bay 58 blue or a Seamaster 300 blue about a dozen times. I just can’t bring myself to pull the trigger.
I think the biggest thing that’s holding me back on them is that I haven’t tried on the Tudor yet and the smaller size (paired with a bezel) does worry me a bit and I haven’t actually seen an SM300 in person yet, so I don’t know if the reversed polishing will bother me any less than the PCLs did on the old watch. Then again, the thinner case and new bracelet design surely makes the watch wear better, especially as the bracelet breaks between the lugs instead of past them.
I don’t get myself right now. I’m ready to add something to my collection, I just can’t find what to add, despite so many candidates that are like 95% matches or better.

Just buy the tudor mate, it fits great, teeny bit smaller than a sub. And return it if you don't like it.

Money in hand, ready to add a watch to the collection, two watches that have been on the radar a while, and still can't pull the trigger? IMO, that means he hasn't found the right watch.

OR he's just overthinking it.
