It's unfair to focus on AP. Most brands or ADs were doing the same sales tactics.

It unfortunately for the poster that he got caught "holding the bag" when the market dropped, but I definitely don't think it is bad that the watch craze is over.

If all you really are after is a 16202 and maybe a ROO or Code....go to AP for the first watch and then go grey for the second. Maybe in ten years you will want something else, etc.

It is likely not in your best interest to buy 8 watches you don't really want in two years to get a Jumbo or a QP. The delta between what you spent for those additional 6 watches and the grey mark up on the watch you really want is now skewed toward the grey market.

He probably bought them all thinking he would put them in a safe, get the watch he really wants and then sell and make a small gain...because the market just kept going up.

He made a bad gamble. Has he even told us what watch he was trying to get to?
