A recurring theme in TRF...but ultimately, it is what it is.

If we could get our hands on it, we would want a discount. AND...we would want it to hold it's value in the secondary market down the road. In essence what we are saying is "give us a watch that anybody can get, without any effort, and at substantial discount that will be hugely desirable and worth an ass load of money."

Guess what? It's already happened. I was thinking the other day about some of the deals you could find on TRF when I first joined nine years ago. I could kick myself for the deals that were available back then and what those watches are going for today.

But...everything changes, and now it's a new landscape in the wonderful world of watches. I doubt we'll see a return to earlier times.

Anyway...I guess we want our cake, to eat it too, and not gain any weight from the calories.
