I’ll start a service savings fund immediately. Don’t want to be caught off guard LOL.

Thank you. Congratulation on yours too. I figured that pic might make a friend.

Greatest vehicle IMO. No matter what I drove previously, I was always thinking of the next vehicle, the next purchase. Once I drove the TRX, those day dreams stopped. It is just perfect in so many ways. I have the same username at the ram-trx forum if you are a member.

Have to add that book to the collection! Thanks for the picture.

Did you express interest in this watch?
It came up in conversation, from a collector standpoint, but I never made a strong push for it.

Appreciate the great pictures. Wouldn't mind having one of these, but $27K is pretty dear, and that's money I'd like to put towards a PM piece in the future. Not to mention I'm getting 5.5% interest on those funds at the moment.

The struggle is real! I think higher interest rates have had a bigger impact on the watch market than inflation or the overall economy. If you have some extra cash getting 0.01%; why not look for an equally stupid, but more fun ‘investment’.

Personally I like the return of higher interest rates. Debt does not equal strength or stability and high rates help people remember that.

Agreed, but mainly because I bought properties in 2016 and 2019, and my last vehicle on a 0.99% note just before interest rates went up. Couldn't have timed it better.

I reached full adult hood in the late 90's so all I've ever known is a low inflation/low interest rate environment. What we have now is historically more "normal." I expect it to stick around for awhile.

Congrats. Love it when you find something unexpected on a walk-in.

I tried one on in Venice couple of weeks ago. Not as gigantic as I expected, or as heavy, but the thickness is something you can’t escape (no valve for that…).
