Hi again guys,

Just wondering which watch people would recommend between the caliber 01 vs the datora? I live in australia and my SA is offering me the caliber 01 for $7900AUD and the datora for $5600 AUD.

What does everyone think about these prices? Are they reasonable?

I'm leaning towards trusting my SA since in the past he sold me the B4B GMT for $7500 AUD and a navitimer world for $5000AUD.

Your expert advice would be much appreciated!!!

Cheers!

Money allowing I would take the in house piece every time. Not sure what Australian pricing is like, but I paid a heck of a lot less for my 01.

x2 for the Navi 01. In house, display back and limited edition. Datora is a cool watch but it doesn't have any of these things.

Hi Roff

Thanks for the advice. Can always count on you for some sound direction. It appears that AUD prices are much higher than the States. The navi 01 MSRP here is 10,500AUD which is why it made me think 7900 was reasonable.

I might see if I can somehow get it from the US but prestigetime doesn't seem to have the navi 01 available.

Hmmmm, *thinking*

Grey market won't have it yet. PM jnelson3097 - I know that Govbergs have shipped to Australia before. I'm sure that FEAR / Provident would also be willing.

Remember to factor in any import duty if buying from overseas.
