Which one I'd pick
New vs pre-owned: new at $4,518 is 11% under retail. Pre-owned is the real bargain: the middle of Chrono24 asks was about $3,350 to $4,600, with a median of $3,750.
What to check before you buy
- Box and papers: a brand warranty card matters for resale. Grey-market new watches may carry the dealer's warranty instead of the brand's, so ask which one you're getting.
- Thickness: the Black Bay Pro is a chunky 39 mm watch. Try it on if you can.
- Fakes and red flags: avoid prices far below the grey-market numbers above, stock photos only, or sellers who won't show the caseback, clasp and warranty card.
