Apart from the AK, you keep coming back to the same basic watch, with or without bezel/cyclops. It's almost like a rotation.

Hey, if it makes you happy...

yep, they were pristine, just held out when people tried to knock me down. Plus most of them I got real good discounts.

But saying that, I found the market is flooded with pre-owned so would not want to do to much more selling in this area.
