Being priced out of the market.
Saw an article on robbreport.com this morning about green dialed watches.
Not that I want a green dial but I feel I am being priced out of the market.
Watch prices are getting out of control in my opinion, along with many
other things. Some of the prices mentioned were $81,000, $9,600, $36,500,
$58,000 and $34,700. All out of my budget limitations. If they are within
your budget that's great, get what you want. Makes me want to keep what
I have and pick up a Timex. Yes, I still want the Cartier tank and eventually
I will get one, hopefully before I am priced out of the market on those tool.

"Why buy New, when Used will Do?"
Sign painted on the front of the used furniture store run by some of my wife's family! That's what Nico said too!
I don't think you can be priced out of the market for something you don't want.
But I feel confident you will find a way to acquire that Tank. Chin up!
Preowned prices have dropped tremendously!
I pretty much only buy preowned and sometimes new if I have to or want something customized. A good example of what i mean, the duometre used by JLC was ~$20k-ish USD used in 2019 Its STILL ~$20kish used. Once you factor in inflation, it's actually much c...
