: I regularly read posts on this site and others
: with interest for their content and usually
: with some amusement. I have come to the
: conclusion that I am just as "sad"
: as everyone else when it comes to the
: obsession with quality watches. I say
: obsession because that is just what it is.
: Whether you try to convince yourself that
: you buy a certain watch (whatever the type
: or manufacturer) because of its resale value
: or it collectible value, I still feel that
: it is just an obsession. Personaly I dont
: spend a fortune on watches in the hope that
: I may be able to sell it for a profit or
: even at only a small loss later on. I would
: never sell a watch unless I hated it for
: some reason or I needed the money to buy
: food(why buy it in the first place?)!
: What am I babbling on about? Im not sure,
: though after reading many of the posts about
: resale values I cannot help thinking that
: people who buy anything just because of its
: retail value never truly appreciate the
: aesthetics of what they have!
: This is just my opinion and rightly or wrongly
: felt I wanted to share it
: Best regards to all.
