(agreeing with you big time while rolling my eyes) OMG, have been an enthusiast for 30-ish years, still MUCH to learn!!! Horology is like going down a proverbial Rabbit Hole.

To be fair, it WAS easy money, and that was a MAJOR headache for ADs. Yes like many longtimers, at first it seemed totally weird. Like WTF weeeeeird. Then came the 'New Norm', with easy flipping and empty AD displays.... you know how this ends.
I look fwd to things going back to normal. You know, the way it was, when it was for love, passion, and desire.
(deeeeep sigh, small shrug) Maybe I'm just an ol' romantic.
