Why do people go to the effort of typing up such a response. It probably took you longer to be rude than it would to read the post, is your life that bad?

What is wrong with the world…is it that hard to show a little respect to a fellow member interested in watches?

Perhaps you wish the OP to hand deliver the original post on a high quality card with a thickness and font of your choosing to you on your pedestal and hand peel you grapes while you read it.

My thoughts exactly….

That would be great! I’d frame it!



Lighten up Francis.

What an embarrassingly irrelevant question.

Brilliant you have a good sense of humour so your not a complete social hand grenade then…

I’m happy, life’s good for me and I hope everything is going well for you too. If I’m honest it just amazes me people go out of their way to post things like this to people with the same interests when they could a) just type nothing or b) post something without being negative but if you feel you need to it’s a free world and you can post (within reason) what you like…

Take care amigo

You didn't like my post...lol...got it. Sorry for offending you since it clearly didn't matter to OP. We are in the age of everyone being offended by everything, so I shouldn't be too shocked. OP didn't seem the least bit bothered, but at least he has you to stick up for him. Lol.

OP, I can definitely relate. Fortunately still have the watches I acquired over the years when pricing was reasonable. Haven't bought anything new since 2018 but have added several vintage pieces at decent prices. Don't let it depress you. Maybe you can look into some neo vintage, not the same pricing as pre 2016 but certainly more acceptable than twice/three times MSRP.

No definitely not offended I think more a feeling of sad about the way people speak to each other. .

I apologise I thought it might make people think again before writing responses like this but perhaps that’s me being naive as if you were that way inclined you wouldn’t have wrote a message.

I wish you all the best and don’t wish to spend any more time on the matter so take care friend and enjoy your day.

Agree. I am not easily offended. The comment made me sad at the lack of respect some individuals display these days.

There is no way to explain it any easier than that.
So they should lower the MSRP until the stores are empty? But wouldn't they look like Rolex ADs then? So has Rolex found the correct MSRP then?

So they should raise and lower the msrp daily until only half the store is empty?

So what should the MSRP be?

This is your logic dude. You claimed to know better than Rolex or Tag, but you have no real answers based on anything but your BS.
