It's worth exactly what anyone is willing to pay - the argument is pointless!

It's not 20k it's like £6100 rrp

The gold one is around USD20K. Is it worth it? - a buyer will think so.

agreed ulitmately its up to the buyer. and like i said in my previous post Breitling has the right to ask for whatever they think this piece is worth. All i am stating is that IMO this is not worth the money.

edit - i do believe that the steel version at 7600 is worth the money for the design and the in house movement. however if you compare a navitimer (18k gold head) with a retail value of 13k to the gold version of the Trans ocean at 20k the price difference is 7 grand. sure these are 2 different models but functionality wise chrono to chrono and coming from the same manufacturer i think its a fair comparisson. To me the additional 7 grand spent would not justify the cost of the inhouse movement.

"Every man has his price" as the saying goes (better substitute with "person" for political correctness lest I get snacked )

Fact is for me personally, I'd never buy a gold watch regardless of price. I think large pieces of solid gold worn are verging on tasteless. The gold-accented pieces are ok - rider tabs, bezels, links etc. Just my 2p. Looking forward to a SS TO LE on mesh though.

If everyone thought the same, life would be more boring! Come to think of it, I've got very narrow taste in watches, I could think from only one or two of everything in the market I would really want. But then I've never sold a watch either - they are always for keeps (unless the option is to sell a kidney).
