We can easily imagine that if you're a whale who wants the watch and doesn't already have an 'in' with the boutiques, and have seen some watchbox videos, you can just hand over some silly money to Watchbox and get a watch that they've been hyping the last few years as an exceptional piece.
Then as soon as you've paid a huge amount of money for one, they will pull another one out of the stockroom, perhaps with an even bigger price having proven that they could list something at $100k and sell it.
Try selling them a CB for $95k to allow them to make a few thousand dollars of profit on it if it's really worth $100k, and they'll laugh at you.
