Focus Focus Foucs: one series (Autavia) including all spare parts ect.

I am gone away from 1163 Models: despite Siffert
Focus only on high end Autavias from 11630 & 11063 Series: Diver P, Orange 11630 with black & silver, GMT, PVD, Diver 100

Try to keep large amount of spare parts for focus watches: NOS spare parts: mostly 11630

double, tripple number of one series also OK.

--------------

stoped collecting watches and warranties
still a huge collection of catallog: very huge

Believe collecting cal 11 & cal 12 movement will be very benefitial in 10 years. already now these movements gone up tripple price in 2-3 years.

: After seeing Mark mention that he is buying relatively few
: watches recently, and juxtaposing this with a series of messages
: from Arno seeking to buy Carreras and now a message from Alex
: seeking to buy automatic Autavias, it seems like it might be
: interesting to ask our readers where they now stand in their
: current objectives / collecting careers. We have also seen
: Thomas sell the Milou collection and Brook exchange a load of
: Carreras for a beautiful Oldsmobile 442.

: So what are the current objectives / long-term plans of our
: readers? Some points for discussion: Are you expanding or
: consolidating? If you are consolidating, will you be paying
: some bills, buying a car or investing in some other class of
: assets? Are those of you who have consolidated recently missing
: your watches or even nibbling at a few new ones? Perhaps some of
: our WTB readers (like Arno and Alex, or others) or others who
: are expanding their collections can tell us about their plans?
: Replenishing collections, focusing on under-valued models or
: stockpiling for a big sale? Any new ideas about your “exit
: strategy”? Let’s get some discussion of this topic, then we
: can look at the Next Discussion Topic: What role does eBay play
: for you, as a buyer or as a seller? How has this role shifted
: over time? What markets are you using in place of eBay? But
: let’s address the first question first – about your current
: objectives – and then we can discuss eBay.
