Hey listen I’m no baller, just a working stiff with a taste for nice watches. It takes a long time for me to strategize a watch purchase. But having said that I don’t need liquidity or a new watch bad enough to meet some rando knucklehead face to face especially if he is making noise about wanting to look inside my watch. There are too many other safe and secure scenarios to sell or trade a watch. Having to squeeze the last nickel out of every transaction defeats the whole concept of a watch as a luxury.
