Going to buy Meteorite GMT

So I’ve all but decided I’m going to buy one but I’m going to pay for it with the money invested in BTC. I bought one back in 2019 for like 6000. As soon as it goes back up to the 70 high, I’m cashing out for a watch. How long do you guys think it will take. It’s been a rough week since I made this decision.

After paying taxes on your gains you have a long way to go

Don't sell Bitcoin until it gets to a million...one day we will tell stories about you like the guy who bought 2 pizza's with it. Its a good story and he is "famous"...but don't be that guy.

Taxes are a different deal. I’ll pay the tax bill when the tax bill is due. Also I am not talking about paying with btc to just some dude. I’m going to cash out and use the money. If you think it’s going to a million, sell all the watches and buy some bitcoin.

Get rid of the Bitcoin and get the watch…..no brainer….buy Bitcoin at 40 and sell at 70 that’s pretty much all its worth

SMH. Why are you asking or telling us what your going to do with an investment. This is a watch forum. I’m sure Cramer has a forum somewhere. Sounds like a another hype thread

No I’d love to buy it from a dealer. I have talked to every AD in DFW and given my name and number. They have all told me some form of they have multiple people that have been waiting for 2+ years. Basically they’re sorry but no.

I personally would get more out of a watch I love on my wrist.

Yea, I think it’d be impossible unless your relationship with the dealer is stellar.

Why not turn your profits into tangible assets?
Even if it is a lowly Rolex Space Rock GMT that you can wear and enjoy…

This is the only watch I bought grey. It's the one piece that my AD said i had no chance. And I am glad I did. Got it for 50k in early 2020.

It is amazing. I would go for it!

I’d try to buy from a dealer who accepts crypto so that you can hopefully avoid paying taxes on those gains.

Ignore the negative whiners. Every forum has them.

WG looks different, wears different and weighs different. The lustre and reflectivity set it well apart from SS.

Funny story. I was working with a buddy of mine several years ago when bitcoin was at $1500 and I told him he was crazy for buying into a "made up" crypto currency blah blah blah. He asked me if I wanted to press the enter button on the computer and I did when he bought which just irks me now to no end since he made 50k or whatever...

Needless to say he's the one laughing now...
