I think that in this community, the consensus is that the current state of the market is regrettable. Not because we’re not crypto bros or whatever, but because folks here are interested in watches not as investments and signifiers of wealth, but as technical and artistic / design achievements. And the folks who are stirring up the market generally don’t seem to care about that stuff; they’re interested in ‘lifestyle’ and what they see/post on Instagram.
Of course the mods may come in and say “hey we don’t talk about prices in here” but I do think this is relevant, even at a gentlemanly dinner party: quite frankly, it is ruining my interest in the industry!
