Mystery of the increased demand / reduced supply solved

I've not been a member here for very long... but I have read numerous threads on why there is a shortage. Increased demand... reduced supply. Lots of theories...

Well evidence suggests otherwise. (forgive the source... The Uk's Daily Mail is not my regular news source haha)

To think, there are four people walking around wearing those. The risk of buying preowned I guess...

Yeah, threads on this story have been locked or deleted a half dozen or so times in the last day. Always the the same "humorous" comments and the inevitable Christopher Walken pic.

Not appropriate for an international, family friendly forum folks

Come on, its a light hearted bit of humour. That also shows a sensible point that thieves are everywhere given the chance they will take the opportunity and take immense means to try and get away with it.

And who says Germans don't have a sense of humor?

I'll resist making a joke about the Hublot and Big Bang...

IBTL. Guess she got tired of the waiting lists. You just never know where the next “grail” piece may have been.

I guess being successful enough to travel with four Rolex and a Hublot doesn't mean you are to bright. I would like to see a photo of that genius.
