Funny phone call ..
A friend of mine just rung me .. worried about the authenticity of his sky dweller.
Apparently the red dot wasn’t in the same place as the photos of it online .. ![]() |

Yesterday, while on the treadmill, I was watching some Teddy Baldasare videos on YouTube and a video from Producer Michael popped up and he was showing off his newest "investments". One of them being a blue SkyD on Jubilee and he had no idea how the watch worked or what the functions even where. Don't think he knew there was a GMT function and when the inner GMT ring started to rotate he thought it was the date...

Until I joined this forum, I didn't know that buying a watch just to keep it in a safe was even a thing.

I would have offered to test it and forgotten to give it back.

Hey
Me too. Am always shocked When I hear people do this. Likewise, when people buy cars and say they watching how much mileage they put on the car...garage queens. WTF? Why buy the car then.

My wife bought our kid a watch when he was born and put it in the bank safe. I am sure he will cherish them (his mum and the watch). :) My wife and I have watches (Patek and Rolex) and wear them. Both "strategies" (store/wear) are not mutually exclusive. The real problem (to my eyes but it is personal) are people buying watches only as assets and with the sole purpose of making money. But who am I to blame them as the brands push that behavior through auction houses or ridiculous "partnerships" (Yeah PP and LVMH, I am looking at you)... Take care. |

I bought a new 2012 991 911 and drove it 62000 miles before selling it in 2016. The service guys always called me “the guy who actually drives his car.”
