Purchase a watch you don’t want to get on waitlist

Nice for you that it took until mid 2020 for you to reach this conclusion. Some of us have been suffering for longer!

Gray has Hulk for 16k for example

A) buy a non-hot model from AD for some amount, sell it at a loss of 2k
B) get a hot model from AD at retail

So technically just pay a 2k premium (for example) instead of supporting grays.

Obviously the maximum loss I would want to take is the difference in price from gray prices and retail price


Anyway, what are some good candidates for models I can purchase (that is good enough for me to get on a list) but still have some resale value that would limit my loss?

This thread misses the whole point of an arbitrage; this question creates a paradox. You are going to need to go find an arbitrage opportunity on your own.

If such an opportunity exists, the person or group of people with that knowledge likely are not posting about it for free on a public forum. To do so would likely ruin the arbitrage opportunity.

You need to do your own research to find an unknown inefficiency in an otherwise relatively efficient market (efficient in the sense that price information is readily available to anyone who spends about 5 mins on Google).

If you have to ask this question, I doubt you will be selected for a hot model.

This thread is filled with the same old hot watches syndrome

Lots of psychologists around here.

If you can get a SS alternative, why not.

I would never by a watch that I didn't really want. There are lots of other great watches out there other than current Rolex references.

Totally agree! Its worse than heroine addiction.. LOL

I’ll itch your back if you itch mine. Works in every industry. Just pick a watch you actually like to wear (from the display case), for the relationship.

I did....i bought a ceramic pepsi recently in hope that for taking tit off the Ads hands they will consider putting me on the daytona list

I only buy the watches I want, I don't buy to go on a list, why would I buy something I don't want?

Exactly but many of today's owners think they must, and have been brainwashed by the net, and the likes of so called social media that says you must, and as we all know if on the net it must be true.

LOL! Happily, that's something I'm not qualified to comment on!

It is literally the quite opposite of being a flipper (buying low, selling high)

What does “flipping” have to do with profit and loss?

Sounds like you have a real business going on, good luck!
