Yeah I guess it's not really fair to compare mint condition price to grey market. MSRP is indeed around 11k. I could probably live with paying 7.5k for a mint condition one with a long waranty.
About that, there is some kind of international waranty so even if I buy say in the US and want to get it checked in Switzerland because something is off, there is no issue, right ?

Have you looked at Tag Heuer?
Got to check the new Heuer 01 on wrist, it's meh, really. Just massive but not impressive. It's a much cheaper watch, and it really shows. 20 y/o me would have probably loved it, though. The Heuer 02-T although I didn't get to check it on my wrist (yet) looks pretty sick, but so does its price :P Definitly not within budget (~20k MSRP I think).
There are some grand carrera calibre 17/36 I reaaaally used to like 6 years ago when I finally went for my current Tag Heuer (Carrera SpaceX) instead, but somehow not much at all anymore.
Frankly, If you want a quality skeleton (or large open heart) swiss watch for not more than 10k, it's really all about Zenith right now imo. I know many people are unhappy that Zenith now has this Hublot vibe, but I for one have always liked Hublot (the more "reasonable" models anyway). Like the Classic Fusion Ultra-Thin Skeleton Titanium that I really gotta try on wrist before going for that Zenith.
EDIT- Damn, looks like the Heuer 02-T isnt that expensive actually, that's something else I'm gonna have to check out...
