Yes, yes, currency exchange fluctuations and all but we’ve crossed a watermark...

14998 is still $15k, and these watches were only $16k clearly used before recent events. A downtown of $1k isn't too significant. The BNIBs are 16.5k now and they were 17.5k before, too.

Anyway, my point is, 14998 is still $15k. lol.

Goes to show, the market clearly thinks that was a bargain then (and it was!).

People who are over-leveraged will dump stock, the rest will keep and enjoy them. Or sit on them.

You have to have some fun every once in a while, right? ;) All the speculating is boring, so I'll enjoy myself amongst all the doom and gloom :).

I'm with you on that one RHIII. There needs to be a "like" function integrated on here.

For prices to cool? Not everyone. But most, I would guess.

For an economic crash? The cyclic nature of the world economy dictates that there will be dips and crests. Most of us accepted that. You have to filter out the vultures and idiots - they are not representative, however loudly and frequently they voice this nonsense.

For a lethal pandemic which concomitantly tanked the economy? I'm sure that's not what you are implying. Is it?

Overpriced, due to all the hype it’s been given. I don’t quite get the attraction to these models. Hulk, Kermit, Pepsi, Coke, etc. They have similar/same dials, with a different color bezel. A Submariner, is a Submariner. The rest have silly names. Sorry, I don’t get it.

Just wait for a few more months. Not at this moment. Patience is the key.

once it’s started it’s like an avalanche, most of the inflated prices were driven by social media before. i suspect the prices will continue to drop in the near future.
