Maybe I'm in the minority here but all the discussions about price, cost, discounting, availability and *especially* future value have IMHO overwhelmed the forum. The dialogue here was once interesting to collectors and watch-lovers, but now seems taken over by speculators and flippers.

Seems like this was the right move a few years ago, but is it enough? So many threads today are essentially slightly veiled "what's it worth?" discussions.

Maybe this is just me but longing for the days when the discussions were mainly about merits, function, aesthetics. Still there I guess but like a drowning swimmer struggling for air.

If my collection was worth $0 I'd still be a collector. In fact, I'd probably prefer it.
