The reason you're seeing good discounts is that it's too big for most wrists.
But sounds like that's good for you, so sweet deal.

There's a 44.5 mm? Hmm, maybe I should seek one or to try.
I think I tried a 42 mm (never saw size specs but she said it was bigger than the 40 mm). I liked it, but I wished it was slightly larger. The duty free lady was livid when my wife wandered over and commented how the watch looked small on my wrist. Must be the way it curves or contours or something. But also, I'm used to and love the size of the Hamilton Khaki Pilot that's 46mm.
The duty free lady was weird. I asked if I could look at one or two and was honest about window shopping while waiting for my flight. I even pointed at the Khaki Pilot in the Hamilton display case as the watch I had recently purchased as a daily driver back home. She then got weirdly excited to get me to try stuff over two dozen Tags, Breitling, Mont Blanc and Omegas. I didn't mind at first, but it got weird when she started saying my wife didn't know watches with the small Speedy comment. My wife only semi sarcastically said that because she refused to let me see the Deville I actually wanted to see and started pulling out Seamasters, Speedmasters and other high ticket watches for me to try on. She literally was putting watches on my left and right wrists.
I think this experience made me change my mind for my grail. I thought I wanted a VC, but I don't know what it'll be anymore. I think I'll know when I see it though.
