Prices have dropped and I feel comfortable that the price is consistent with what I'm seeing online; with the added benefit of being able to try before I buy. If the price is down to $11k next year that will sting "emotionally", but I'm not buying to flip for a profit, so if today's price is fair with market, I can live with fluctuations until many years from now if I decide to sell.  Headed to the store now!

Longines being used almost as designed ;-)

Out boating and snorkeling in Costa Rica with the Longines on the wrist.  No ‘dives’ below 8 feet, but fun nonetheless.
