A long time coming but this makes me seriously want to rethink any future watch purchases. Watches are getting more expensive, not just Rolex. While I am fortunate to have 2 of them, 3 if you count my wife's, and a Bell and Ross, TAG and several very nice...

If we're all honest, we do not need mechanical timepieces as the Apple Watch is far more useful... and acceptable to wear, and without fear of being robbed or worse! The market for under $1000 pieces has been heating up quite a bit. 'Bargains' can be foun...

I see that someone here bought a Patek Philippe because they saw it in a window while on a mid afternoon walk back to the office. I completely understand, I'm just not there yet, and may never be, and I'm OK with that. I will give the "mid-level" watches ...

...it's more my suspicion that real watch lovers are getting left out in the cold because speculators are either speculating and/or parking money in tangible assets. Kind of the way I feel about the art market...
