Nothing but love for you my friend but I don’t think the UK market is indicative of other markets. In my estimation it’s been a wild market there post brexit as foreign money came pouring in to gobble up the inventory at the favorable exchange. Then brands made currency adjustments meanwhile the pound has slowly been creeping higher all year.

In my opinion it doesn’t help that all your retailers are servicing high net worth collectors from home and abroad. In the states there are some 90 Patek ADs and they sure as heck don’t all have foreign billionaires on the client list

Put another way if I had to do all my Patek shopping in NYC I’d be SOL as well.
