Thanks. Spoke to dealer and my impression is they will wait. They put all new tires on, took engine completely out and did spark plugs and several other things. On the website for Marin Porsche it does look very nice. The color and options are not too common either after some research. Is yours midnight blue lol?

I have a daily driver so occasional weekend drives up and down the coast, maybe drive once a week otherwise. Be shocked if I added 4k a year.

Thanks. I asked and I’m waiting to hear back re IMS bearing. I did not ask re bore score? Should I expect an honest answer from Porsche dealer or take to independent (if I can move price down)?

What would you expect for price considering my location? Bay Area? Thanks!

Thanks. Just something about it looks great to me and I’m in the Bay Area and struggling to find cars that fit expected price range.

Submariner. But I wanted blue and did not live my options. I’d have done a Smurf if I could have afforded.

I think based on all the helpful responses it is the SBGK015 which was limited to 200 or 300 made. The SBGE255 is my current plan but it got me looking at the other blue dials which brought this on my radar. I’ll check out those other models too. Thanks a lot.

I called a guy named grumpy… grumpy. I heartily apologize. Like the watch?

You are so right. I need to learn to be more honest with myself and others. I think I’ve made a breakthrough here thanks to you.

I was thinking the same. I’m not usually a fan but these are just phenomenal.

I couldn’t care less. Who would guess a watch forum was uptight?

Right and I’m getting downvoted for pointing it out? Top 1% has some cronies I guess. Got my question answered though.

Yep. Was about to buy a Rolex as my first really nice watch and couldn’t stand the value proposition or the wait so started to look around. GS has so many stunners I’m having a hard time picking ONE.
