Awesome, I love that watch.
I'm looking at the new Black Bay Chrono, but I don't like how the knurling on the pushers doesn't match the crown and the snowflake hands obscure the subdials too much (makes them basically useless). I might get the 2021 speedmaster pro sapphire sandwich instead.

Anyone purchasing cars for portfolio / investment purposes, the other two types of cars I was considering were manual transmission R8's and 550/575 Maranello's; both of these cars I THINK are amongst the last to have gated shifters. These things will go for stupid money on BAT in 5-10 years when everything is electric and driving itself.

This, I've been looking for a sub but can't justify spending $4-5k over sticker. Go to an AD and ask if they have any sport models and watch them try not to laugh you out of the store. The dealers now play games too, if you want a sub they will put you on a list, but if you want to get one in the next 2 years you need to play the game and buy a bunch of 38mm stuff that no one wants first. It's pushing me away from Rolex.
There is a solution though, get yourself an Omega.

i think that's a pretty good deal considering some other prices i've seen.

Considering I have seen base Carrera models in this market going for $60K with 30-40,000 miles on them... I think you did just fine! At the end of the day, as long as you aren't putting yourself in a tough spot, don't overthink what you paid and enjoy the car

this is a decent deal. I picked up a 2014 C2S with same options plus design sport wheel with 40k more miles for 50k back in January. The prices on these things are all over the place.

Yeah I really had no choice and I really wanted this 911. The 2012.5 models were the only ones I could afford and I wanted to pay cash. Who knows when and if the bubble will burst. In my experience, when it comes to luxury goods, the bubble will cont to grow as long as the economy does well.

I think you paid market price for the car you wanted, equipped the way you wanted it. The 991 market is nuts right now. I did a quick nationwide search on Autotrader just now to try and find some comps. I only located three '12 S coupes, two in the 50s and one in the 60s. I snagged a picture of the one that was at the upper of the three. It had almost 60K miles
Enjoy your car!

yeah I think I did pay market price. Mine had 30k miles less and was $66k. oh well. At least I did not overpay because I was definitely being impatient and was aggressively shopping for it. My wife was surprised when I came home with it. Kinda felt like I was having a mid life crisis at the age of 32. She didnt speak for me for a few days because she was upset but let me tell you, it was worth every bit of it and Ill do it again in a heart beat
