If you want a Panerai, then buy one to love and to wear. Buying one to flip for a profit is dangerous and, quite frankly, a mug's game.

I get it, I do. I’ve bought and sold many a watch, mostly at a loss (who has not lol). All I was saying is that if I had a chance to flip one and make a few bucks, no harm/no foul. I sold my LVc after almost 3 years of ownership recently having a pretty good idea people would be getting “squeezed,” and the person who bought it will enjoy it and probably make a few bucks in the long run. It goes both ways...I’ve shopped quite a bit, and maybe the market in Southern California is that different but obtaining one here for that discount was unheard of recently and this was a one time only thing- and only open to those in the know. I won’t apologize for being capitalistic but I do understand some peoples sensitivities when I comes to these matters. I love watches, and they cost a lot so I think we ALL would like to know (or at least feel better knowing) that our purchases hold their value or even increase once and a while. I’m sure I’m not alone...Sláinte!
