Do you think that the collectors who, five years ago, bought CBs, AP 15202s, PP 5167 and 5711 bought them because they knew the prices were going to go through the roof and never really liked the watches?
Things are different today, if you can get any of those watches at MSRP it's an instant winner, but five years ago if you bought any of those from an AD it was only because you wanted your name on the warranty/COO and it was an instant financial loser.
