Glad you like the others and don’t worry about value. I wear my watches all the time as well , even at work where they can get banged up. They are meant to be worn and enjoyed. Cheers.

But because they are so popular, they are indeed great investments - and not a surprise, they are even more ubiquitous in the grey market than RO. They are as liquid as BTC or any currency.

But that for me is not the spirit of watch collecting. YMMV, but I actually wear my watches and hate them sitting in the safe. I began collecting watches when you would immediately lose money when you left the store - and you only bought because you loved the watch. These days it's different. It's a free country so to each their own.

Anyway, in the spirit of your intense CODE love, here are three for your enjoyment :) Never cared about the value, only loved the pieces.

Thanks for the note - maybe I could buy another as a backup? [emoji1787]That's a damn good deal! (And the same especially with dress Perpetuals across many of the brands - Patek, ALS, and others). I took a bath with a Patek 5140 before the CODE so it's not the first time :)

Maybe if you stopped selling your watches every month on the forum and kept a few longer you would learn to enjoy them more than a month or two? [emoji1787] I used to be one of those new watch or two every month type of collectors in the Panerai days, because I couldn't afford more than a few in hand. It would drive my wife crazy but it was hella fun. These days I can thankfully afford and keep a nice collection with perfect provenance. It matters to me, but it may not matter to many people.

Enjoy the fun playing the market - but I hope you keep a few longer - I mean how could you sell your 26574st?!?!?

Anyway, one more CODE to brighten your day :)
