That's kinda my point. But who am I to call anyone not a real enthusiast just because he/she bought when something is hot? Which is exactly what was implied above, of particular reference to the nautilus/Aqua. I'm just saying it's not exclusive.

Exactly......^^^.....

Human nature I guess......

Most people love to buy something that is hot and hard to get watch.....

And others just love the watch and it happen to be a hot and hard to get.....

I know this phenomenon doesn’t not only happen to Patek, I was merely adding an agreement to someone else’s comment, no where was I implying it only happens to Patek.

No but that’s not a half bad idea! Kelly, if you’re reading, send pics!

When they played the scarcity game, more people want it.
If they flood the market with 5711, Daytona, value goes down, collectors complain.

Rarity/ Being hard to get is part of of the luxury psychology.

You want to enter a mtg and everyone in the room is wearing a 5711, Daytona?
I doubt anyone wants that.
