It's only a problem, like anything else, if you let it control you, as opposed to vice versa.

Its a hobby you can get out of fairly easily and in difficult times can get out of quickly but lose out a little.

So far this year I've bought 3 Rolex (returned one broken one, sold one and kept one) bought 1 Tudor, 1 Invicta and 1 Vostok.

No snobbery here :D

Curious - because I'm thinking of developing a "problem" ...

Do these things hold their value when you buy them used? Like if you buy a 18038 at the "going rate" of about 11K, what can you flip it for? Are you going to get clobbered, or are these "assets" at some point?

I lost about £300 on my GMT II LN sale. Bought 2nd hand from a dealer sold to another dealer after 6months. Could have made more privately.

It's been over two weeks since the original post. Bought any yet?
