Jeff,

The guy is correct in most of his timeline and nuts and bolts. There is a "Hodinkee Effect." That being said, I have my doubts about all of the intent he finds. I think the payment notion is outrageous. To paraphrase GMT...there are a lot of people out there with more money than sense....but ya know what...there are a lot of worse things than owning over priced mechanical watches.
