Monday Surprise
I have been waiting for a call from my AD for months so this morning I decided to call a small AD in town with whom I have not done business before. Surprised when I ask if they had any 116610LN available and they answered YES!!
Happy Monday!!!

That is freakin awesome. I actually got my 114060 this year same way. Decided I wanted it, emailed 3 dealers. Next day I emailed back the only of the 3 I didn’t hear from the first day. Said yep just got it in. Bought it that day. I swear it is just a timing thing. So congrats looks great, nice photo as well.

I think so too. And the more incoming watches that go to non flippers the more demand will hopefully decrease. And hopefully demand decreases to the point where people will stop buying for fear of missing out or for “investment”. I’m not “waiting” for any particular model but it’s nice to go into the AD and actually see watches for sale.

Yeah, flippers and investments, kinda takes the passion out of this hobby of collecting. I may have to put my mask on and visit the AD also. I would love to see some cool watches in the cases. Wow, what a concept!

I keep saying that the hype will die down and when it does, people will jump ship fast. But I’ve been saying that for a while now
