No, no, no....
Stick to PP, it’s the right strategy.
I’ve been too diversified from the start, now I’m down to only 4 brands and eventually maybe just 2.
2017: From "Flipper" to Purist???
In a year that saw my fortunate discovery of this forum, an ill-advised accusation of "flipper" following my first post, and (I hope) ultimately acceptance as an actual living, breathing "collector" of sorts, I want thank all of you for the education, wis...
In my youth, flipper was the name of a dolphin. 😉
Joke aside, you have a stunning collection of Pateks. The fact that you own a 5204P-010 and never really post it here speaks louder than words. Here‘s to many more. Best wishes for 2018, Volker
I remember that dolphin 😀
I will certainly post a picture or two in due course, but between accusations of "flipper," "lucky to be rich," etc. I'm a bit reluctant to draw further misperception. As much as I cherish and trust a core group of Purists, and welcome every new member in...
The benefit of the doubt...
Hi, 5980, It has always been my policy, since I founded the site, and was always the standard, to give everyone the benefit of the doubt. That it seems you may not have been afforded this benefit when you first joined our community, is very unfortunate an...
Thank you Thomas. I believe it was simple bad luck, as I've not seen anything akin since.
The forum is a wonderful asset which we should all enjoy and respect. Thank you and all the moderators for your efforts Happy holidays
My sympathy and best wishes

Glad you decided to stay on and contribute to the discussion.
So sorry for the experience. At least in the end you are able to prove some people wrong. But hey for now, happy new year to you. More Pateks in the coming year. 😊
Why is being a flipper akin to being a War Criminal? the market decides not us...
Happy New Year and everyone flips sooner or later, they just do it on the down low so they can point fingers at others. To them I say for Shame. S
I would not call you a flipper but a collector of the first degree.
And you have good taste in watches. Happy New Year. Please continue to post. Best wishes and also for the new year 2018. Geross.
I’m sad you had a bad experience here when you just arrived but I’m happy you have decided to stay with us 🙏

Happy New Year!
5980.....love the new Avatar. Yes, I think benefit of the doubt can sometimes be a good thing. In your instance, it was good that I gave it to you rather than the person who accused you....LoL. It has been great to have you on the forum this year as a new...
Good you stayed!
This is a place for watch lovers, which you clearly showed you are! Best Blomman
