This (the bold) is the way the watch world works everyone, like it or not. If I was rich and buying tons from an AD I would buy and flip. Everyone talks about being high and moral, but we use greys and overseas deals to take advantage of exchange rates etc to get the best deal.
Thing is with Panerai, you never know either. They can destroy the value of a watch in an instant with the release of another. And with the slowness of the watch economy now, I think we'll be seeing more "hot" watches in an attempt to drive sales.
