Perfect example
Hi, gents,
Thanks for keeping this civil in the subsequent discussion.
The meta subject itself perhaps deserves its own separate discussion, but the the specific comment and follow on exchange: this is a good example of why we discourage discussions about (market) price or investment value or potential and encourage the focus be primarily on the watches themselves, the history, the technology, the design.
Thanks for understanding, and in this case no harm no foul!
Cheers,

5976g
Stunning piece . I was very worried about this piece with initial reports but after trying it on I fell in love 😍 and couldn’t say no. I know it’s not a favorite amongst most on this forum. I took delivery last week.
Being rich or being an investor?
Hello everyone, I own the 5976, the most expensive watch I’ve ever bought and I can afford any watch I want.. I hate the comment “so nice to be rich” a judgement no one should make about another person, it’s all relative as 5980 commented. IMHO, the compa...
Jim when i said : "So nice to be rich" I think you are jumping into conclusion that i mean it as a "bad thing"

I appreciate your clarification, but must admit, like Jim I had a negative visceral reaction to your comment as well
My reply was meant to politely suggest that "rich," if measured by ones watch collection, bank account, or any other material, measurable asset is, in my view, far from the true meaning of the notion of real wealth. I'd like to believe I'm "rich" beyond m...
I agree with you, although we still have to look at the price tag and bank account figures , i too see value and money differently.
I believe that one's view on what is wealth, and being able to differentiate between money and value are just as important.
Perfect example

yes..... I think 5980 sets a great example, since....
....if i remember correctly, one of his very first posts on the Patek forum was met with another member suggesting that he was a flipper! And yes, he handled that situation with aplomb too. We need more 5980s!
Good memory my friend. I was nearly run off before I started here.
"The rich - clearly inherited, undeserved wealth - flipping - certainly never owned a watch for than a week - ostentatious - obviously extraordinarily vulgar and arrogant - asshole - no further description required." And I was concerned I wouldn't make a ...
(Whew!) But still...
Sorry you didnt get the typical (and required!) Cordial response and welcome you should have. Glad you are still here...
