He wasn’t taunting anyone.

Speaking of humility, your sig line seems to proudly exhibit the thousands you’ve spent over the years.



Humility starts at home methinks.

We are a diverse community with widely varying levels of disposable income. Casting shade on those who spend it on watches, or cars, or whatever just seems counter to the TRF philosophy methinks.

Hi Paul,

There was no intent to cast a shade on anyone's purchasing decision.

On the contrary, and perhaps I read it incorrectly, but as I saw it, Tebow's post was doing just that to the OP. It was the only one suggesting that his choice of a S/S YM2 was in some way substandard and the only way to go was full YG - hence my comment.

I agree humility begins at home and yes, those watches have been bought and sold by me - over the past 30 years. I've been fortunate in that overall my net spend is £zero. In fact I'm approximately 1000 of your American dollars ahead. With a fair amount of luck and some half decent negotiating, I've being able to indulge my hobby has cost me less than the MRSP of my Sea Dweller (if one conveniently dismisses the opportunity cost)

They're in my sig because this is an enthusiasts forum. And I consider myself very fortunate to have been able to own each and every one of them.

Tebow (sorry, I don't know your name) it seems I have misread the intent of your post for which I apologise

My two cents...
I wouldn't make a trade.

I understand about not wearing it. It's a hulk of a watch (big, heavy on the wrist) but decent demand will always be there. YM models, not so much in the long run. YMII is nice but also big and heavy.

If trading it, get something that has equal or more demand as long as you will wear it.

Thanks for the clarification.

Since I joined I also flipped and bought/sold. I was net zero, too, until my DD and Platona were stolen during a burglary.

In 10 years of flipping (starting with a Polar Explorer that a year-end bonus funded in 2001) I was ahead about $95K which paid for those 2 watches. None of that would have been possible without the support, knowledge and connections I gained in this wonderful community.
