Once you get one of each, its time to move on man :). We're actually still experimenting but will either join Russell's camp or we might end up being multi-brand loyalist but either way the buying and trading may slow down.
The third group are speculators and dealers. I think this group will grow and shrink with the bubble.

i believe that 'the bubble' will burst sooner or later, simply for the reason that -contrary to what he claims all the time - thierry will surrender to the sports watch trend and increase the sports watch and in particular the steel watch quota - if it is not already happening now.
then we shall have the AP phenomenon over at patek.
