Because I’m assuming that someone who is buying to flip wouldn’t buy from a grey dealer.



Similarly — I think it was a GREAT idea to wear it to the AD. You showed you are willing to spend serious $$$ on a watch you love — even over the AD’s price... I think that is why you are getting on the shortlist for an SD43.

Good luck!

I'll be following this post, curious if the AD comes thru.

Wow that was some tumble, glad your fine. As you said watches can be replaced.

I think you SA realised your good to go spending overage on watches elsewhere. I bet you get the call.

Initially I thought that it was a bad move by the OP.
But having read the thread, it appears that it may have been the opposite and work in their favour.
I hope to read just before Christmas an "Incoming" thread :-)

On seeing the photo of the rigging, you certainly had a lucky escape. And as you said, things can be replaced, but not YOU!

It was definitely a good move to wear it. It shows that if they can’t provide you with what you want, then you will find it elsewhere.
