My first time in Thailand I met a couple of English cats. Being a bit older and more sure of themselves I naturally gravitated toward them. The smarter, but less good looking of the pair, told me about how he flipped used luxury cars. A few years ago a person from high school, who I generally regarded as an dipshit, apprarently has been raising his daughter along the same lines.
For me I am a true purist. I will never sell what I have bought, because each purchase was performed out of too much agony to possibly part with it, other than to family, and even then...
But I make my money on my own. I respect others who do the same, even in the watch game. It’s not my line of work, as it crosses sacred lines. If anything I thank you for the memories. Perhaps this is truth, or just a good story. Salesmen are the easiest to sell to. Perhaps it is time to call an old friend. May each watch conjure a story worth the weight that it took to pass it on. #pulpfiction

Correct! I just refuse to be a 'zombie'

I don't want to entertain sellers with these very high prices and just enjoy what I already have I do want a 5980 or a vintage Sub but...no thanks!
I don’t have a problem with his flipping but I have a problem...

with how he places orders under different names with different AD. That just “robs” other genuine collectors’ place in the waitlist....or people who wants to buy a watch for their kids graduation or wedding etc. Play fair.
The purposes I mentioned is just an example in response to this case...

I agree we should not neglect other brands as they are all improving with new innovation and will some day catch up with the more prestigious or famous “desirable” brands. I focus on 4 brands, PP, ALS, Rolex and Omega and I’m quite lucky for now, don’t ne...

Thank you Imran for starting an interesting topic.

If I were a taxi driver in UK, I would welcome any additional source of income. Playing around with different names is not very ethical. Anyhow, the main problem are the buyers. Are there really suitable watches available and the buyers need to pay a prem...
