It was very easy to get this back in 2014 when I got mine. Now the waiting list is so long and price has gone up so much that it kinda ruined my enjoyment of this watch. I become more stressful when wearing this piece. Not that I will part with it, it’s just more of a psychological thing for me.

Why stressful sir?
Nice piece. Calming for me when i wear mine. Also lucky. Got mine in 2018. Just before bedlam happened.
Glad to know you got yours before the craze 👍
Just the increased value makes it less comfortable for me to wear it psychologically
Haha. What a brilliant idea bro!😛
Not gonna sell so the higher value is just on paper.
You'll be even more stressed wearing your avatar, won't you?

It's interesting to see the market dynamics develop on watches that trade over list
There's a huge positive feedback loop. Once a watch gets to the point where you don't lost any money on secondary value, demand goes through the roof, driving prices higher. Normally, the logical thing to do would be to increase supply or prices until thi...
Beautiful depiction of the blue dial
In that photo. Wear and enjoy it it’s a fantastic piece!
These watches are meant to be worn.
I think it’s a sturdy piece. Just wear it and enjoy the luck you’ve had with it! I’ve always had a strained relationship with safe queens. I guess if you are a real collector it is of no real importance, if you wear a watch. However, for me, every watch h...
I love wearing it
And don’t plan to let it go. I am just more worried about scratching the watch when wearing it. It’s more of a psychological thing for me. Otherwise it’s one of my favorite pieces to wear.
I understand the dilemma.
I got mine in 2015 and although they weren’t everywhere, I didn’t have to go on a waitlist. Since then, I’ve seen it turn into something completely different. But since it’s a never-sell piece for me, I’m able to keep the market situation quite separate f...
Thanks for sharing your view.
I think you have the right mind set. And I should think like that as well so I can enjoy mine more.
I got mine in 2014...
...but I really wanted the Chrono Souverain, but it was out of my price range. I liked the CB, but it just didn’t speak to me, and deep down I knew it was a compromise for me, so I sold it after less than a year. I really try not to have money related reg...
I can fully empathize
Most of us got into this hobby/passion because we physically enjoyed these timepieces and understood that there are financial costs to this hobby. with time, we developed insight into what adds value (materials, finishing, R+D, brand pedigree etc) and wha...
