A pleasant explanation of why most individuals cannot buy hottest watches @ retail

A nice, competent video from Teddy B about why it's hard to buy at retail.

Well articulated, especially the section about overproduction, how it happens and what it means.

Nice video.

Bottom Line: Central banks can't endlessly 'print' Rolex timepieces (or oil, housing, cars, food...).

Another thanx for another great link, Fleetlord. And I agree, I think TB's recent videos have been well done/well presented.

Simple. 380 worldwide AD and customers at the trough. Now 1000 gray come
In taking heaps every week versus Joe public getting 1 from the limited trough. Nah, too simple for folks has to be more complex.
