Now many long time Omega collectors like Vinny Ferniot feel that they likely can no longer afford to continue to add pieces to their collections at the new prices such pieces fetch on the open market. From now on those collectors may well be envied as folks that people should have been paying attention to and perhaps buying alongside of all this time...

Goes to show there are many ways to look at the events of April.

Thanks for posting Chris!
