Just awoke from my WIS coma and..

WOW.. This market is unbelievable!!!!!!! I settled down with a lean and mean collection a few years ago, and I have been totally blind to the incredible demand and extraordinary grey market value for Rolex and Patek!!!

I get the regular brochures and catalogs from my local ADs, but I have not paid attention to the watch world. Recently, I thought about adding another watch for the outdoors, but with COVID-19 and the holiday season, I haven't been motivated to see my AD.

The other day, a friend asks me if I would ever consider parting with my ceramic GMT. I was a little freaked out by this question, I had just thought about the fact that I do not use the second time zone complication as much as I used to. I wondered why he would ask me this question, thinking it wasn't like some grail piece.

Before I could formulate a response, he makes me (what I thought was) an obscenely high offer! I start typing a reply, and then I pause and go to the watch recon website ... then, it happened: I realized that I had completely missed something HUGE going on in the market!!!!!

I was shocked. I figured the pandemic could have something to do with the demand, but is this really, primarily driven by Chinese demand?!

I have one incoming, but wow..
