THIRD: How many people in the world plunk down $5k+ for the KERMIT and are willing to wait for it to increase in value? I have not noticed anyone that has bought it @ $5k+ and made a profit from re-selling it. If someone has made money, maybe it were those that bought it when it first came out and before the anual increases.

First--I try.

Second--See above

Third--I'm in no hurry. References that catch the eye often do so after they've been discontinued. If it doesn't it's still a heck of a watch to me.
